Large-capacity PBAT/PBS/PBT plants

Thread Content

Large-capacity PBAT/PBS/PBT production facilities. Since 2020, various regions have successively introduced implementation plans to strengthen the management of plastic pollution, further restricting the use of plastics. Driven by environmental protection policies, biodegradable plastics such as PLA, PBAT, PHA, PCL, and PBS are seeing new market opportunities in various fields, including disposable tableware, packaging, agriculture, automotive, medical, and textiles. Based on various sources, since the second half of 2019, policies regarding plastic bans have been gradually implemented in China. Many enterprises have started to invest in PBAT/PBS production; numerous companies currently under construction or planning to enter this field are emerging one after another. Based on the production plans of various companies, if all of these facilities come online, there won’t be a large capacity gap for PBAT in the future; in fact, there might even be an oversupply of certain grades of PBAT. So the question arises: 1. Once the PBAT market becomes saturated, what materials can serve as new breakthroughs? 2. What should PBAT manufacturers with low production capacity but high consumption do? 3. There are differing opinions regarding whether PBAT can be completely degraded. However, if the market were to require complete degradation in the future, how should we respond? 4. Low production capacity and high investment make short-term recovery unfeasible; so how to deal with this? Since Prilit successfully put into operation the first PBT production line with high capacity in Kaixiang, Henan Province, in 2013, it has made full use of the advantages of its proprietary technologies to start producing products with high viscosity. In 2018, it successfully installed a PBT production line capable of handling 400 tons per day; the performance tests were passed on the first attempt, and it was demonstrated that it was possible to produce products with a viscosity level between 1.2 and 1.32. Through research and development aimed at achieving large-scale industrial production of PBAT, Prilit has overcome the limitations associated with low production capacities and substandard performance of PBAT in the market. As a result, it has developed its own unique PBAT formulations as well as process kits for large-scale PBAT production. To meet market demands, drawing on over two decades of experience and expertise in differentiated continuous polyester engineering by the Polytron team, the large-capacity PBAT plants also incorporate the characteristics of PBS/PETG/PC. This ensures that customers can confidently navigate the ever-changing market. Purite has introduced high-capacity PBAT/PBS systems that are compatible with both PBAT and PBS products, allowing for adjustments in response to market demands. In addition to the various publicly issued patent certificates it holds, Purit also possesses many proprietary and confidential technologies related to PBT/PBAT/PBS. Features: Proprietary technology, compatibility with PBAT/PBS, product diversification to reduce investment risks.
