In a significant development for the plastics industry, a Chinese company has successfully achieved the localization of emulsion grafting bulk SAN blending method for transparent ABS (MABS) resin production, as reported.
The company, Dagu Chemical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group, has overcome the "neck - sticking" technology in high - end chemical new materials. This breakthrough fills a domestic technological gap, with product performance indicators reaching international advanced levels.
Transparent
ABS Resin (MABS) is a high - end engineering plastic that combines high transparency, excellent impact resistance, and good processing performance. It overcomes the opacity problem of ordinary ABS resin caused by the refractive index difference between rubber particles and the resin matrix. As a result, it can be widely used in fields with strict requirements for transparency and durability, such as high - end home appliance panels (coffee machines, refrigerator liners, etc.), medical devices (nebulizers, dialyzer casings), cosmetic packaging, stationery, and toys.
For a long time, the technology of producing transparent ABS resin by the emulsion grafting bulk SAN blending method has been monopolized by a few foreign chemical giants. To break through this bottleneck restricting the development of the domestic ABS resin industry, Dagu Chemical, relying on its profound R & D strength and unremitting innovation spirit, has constructed a full - chain innovation system of "laboratory - scale R & D - pilot - scale amplification - industrial production - downstream application". After more than three years of painstaking research, Dagu Chemical has successfully achieved the independent R & D and industrial production of transparent ABS resin. The product quality has been highly recognized and praised by domestic leading home appliance enterprises, providing a reliable domestic alternative for downstream enterprises in need of transparent ABS resin and strongly reducing the dependence on imported materials.
This technological breakthrough marks a significant improvement in Dagu Chemical's independent innovation ability in the field of high - end chemical new materials and demonstrates its strong strength in scientific and technological innovation. In the future, Dagu Chemical will continue to adhere to the innovation concept of "acquiring knowledge, exploring principles, and applying", deepen scientific and technological innovation, and promote the localization process of more high - end chemical new materials, contributing more wisdom and strength to the high - quality development of the ABS industry.
