Current situation and development of international PVDC Market

The two major types of PVDC products, resin and latex, reached their peak in the mid-1980s, reaching 170000 tons / year. Later, due to the advent of EVOH and the development of biaxially stretched nylon film, the PVDC products dropped to 90000 tons / year. It is understood that due to the irreplaceable special performance of PVDC, the development of modern packaging technology and the high requirements of military packaging, it has risen to 130000 tons / year in recent years. In the Gulf War in the early 1990s, the U.S. army fought in the desert. All the military food was packaged with PVDC soft packaging. Because it was light and fast, and could guarantee the color, aroma, taste and taste of food, the U.S. further put forward the harsh requirement that the shelf life of military packaging should reach three years after the war. Only PVDC could guarantee this. In recent years, the PVDC market has not been reduced due to the competition of EVOH and the publicity of white pollution, but has developed with the development of application.


According to statistics, the market distribution of PVDC in America and Europe is basically the same. Although the Asia Pacific region is large, its capacity is less than that of America, and Africa is almost blank. It is believed that with the improvement of people's living standards and the further pursuit of quality of life, PVDC will have great development potential in Asia and Africa.


In terms of use, PVDC can be divided into the following categories:


1. PVDC resin for extrusion


Fresh keeping self-adhesive film (single film): military products, food


Composite film, food bag (single film): food, military products


Multilayer coextrusion film: food, medicine, military products, packaging and beverage


Casing film: food packaging, ham sausage, square ham, etc


2. PVDC resin for solution coating


Special coating, silver free photosensitive coating, adhesive, container spraying


3. Fiber PVDC resin


Fishing net silk, flame retardant fabric, artificial lawn


4. PVDC latex


Composite film, food packaging, military packaging, double-sided coating film, cigarette packaging, hard film composite film, drug blister packaging, aluminum foil composite, special medicine, equipment packaging, paper coating, food moisture-proof packaging.
