Illite Rubber Pellets, Plastic Pellets Production and Processing Project of Yanbian Prefecture
1. Introduction to the Project
1.1 Project background
1.1.1 Project introduction
The project is built in Wanbao Town, Antu County, mainly producing and processing illite rubber pellets and plastic pellets. Antu county illite has the characteristics of fine natural particle size, good dispersion, good heat insulation, insulation performance and chemical stability, and is a high-quality rubber and plastic functional filler, which can enhance the toughness, strength and ductility of rubber and plastic products. High number of modified illite powder can partially replace silica in rubber products, which can greatly reduce costs.
1.1.2 Market prospect
(1) Illite market application and prospects
Illite is a mineral clay with good wear resistance, adsorption, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the field of rubber and plastics. In the field of rubber, illite can endow rubber with flame retardant, low temperature resistance and other characteristics to improve the performance of rubber products. In the field of plastics, illite can be used to enhance the strength and heat resistance of plastics and improve the quality of plastic products. With the continuous emergence of new materials and technologies, the application range of illite in rubber and plastics continues to expand, and the market demand continues to grow. The data shows that: The market size of China's illite industry is showing a growth trend. In 2022, the market size of China's illite industry was 3.766 billion yuan, and in 2024, the market size reached about 4.5 billion yuan.
(2) Illite rubber granules market demand and price trend
Illite is widely used in the rubber industry, such as endowing properties such as flame retardant and low temperature resistance to rubber. With the continuous emergence of new materials and new technologies, the application range of illite in the field of rubber continues to expand, and the market demand continues to grow.
With the stricter environmental regulations and the increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, the application of illite in rubber will be further expanded, driving the growth of market demand. The specific price trend needs to be determined according to the market supply and demand, but in general, the market demand and price of illite rubber pellets are growing steadily. With the strengthening of environmental protection regulations, the demand for environmentally friendly materials increases, and the application of illite in rubber will be more extensive. In addition, the continuous emergence of new materials and technologies will also promote the further development of the illite rubber pellet market.
(3) Illite plastic pellet market demand and price trend
Illite plastic pellets have broad market prospects, especially in the context of circular economy and green development, and the recycling of waste plastics has become an important trend. Recycled plastic pellets are favored by plastic companies because of their cost advantages (such as the price of LDPE recycled pellets is lower than that of new materials), and the market demand is stable and continues to grow.
The market demand for recycled plastic pellets is strong, especially in the fields of packaging, building materials, and home appliances. Recycled plastic pellets are widely welcomed because of their relatively low price and ability to significantly reduce production costs. It is expected that the market demand for recycled plastic pellets will continue to grow in the coming years. Driven by the policy of circular economy and green development, the plastic pellet industry will usher in more development opportunities. The government's support policy for the recycling of waste plastics will further promote the development of the recycled plastic pellets market.
(4) Antu County illite rubber pellets and plastic pellets production and processing market prospects
China's illite resources are widely distributed, but high-quality ore sources have been exhausted after years of mining. In recent years, after exploration, a new type of illite mine has been found in Wanbao Town, Antu County, Jilin Province found, which is a rare large-scale illite deposit. At present, the local government has completed the procedures for mining and forest land cutting, and has established an economic development zone around the production and development of illite, preparing to build a project of 100 billion yuan of illite and develop its downstream products, so as to make preparations for the construction of an economic industrial park with local characteristics and the revitalization of the local economy.
With the continuous expansion of the application of illite in rubber and plastics, relevant enterprises can seize this market opportunity and achieve rapid development through technological innovation and market expansion. Especially in the context of increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, production and processing enterprises that meet environmental protection standards will be more competitive.
To sum up, the production and processing market of illite rubber pellets and plastic pellets has broad prospects, the market demand is stable and continues to grow, and policy support and technological progress will further promote the development of the market.
1.1.3 Technical analysis
The production process of plastic pellets is as follows:
1. Preparation before compounding: The recovered masterbatch should be cleaned first before preparation. Ordinary masterbatches (such as beverage bottles, ordinary plastic packaging, etc.) can be cleaned with clean water, while masterbatches with oil stains can be cleaned with cleaning agents. For heavily stained masterbatches, caustic soda (NaOH) is used for cleaning and decolorization.
2. Sieving and filtration: Polymer resins may be mixed with mechanical or other impurities during production, packaging, and transportation. In order to prevent damage to the pelletizing equipment and degrade the quality of the product, the resin must be used after screening. For example, powdered polyvinyl chloride is usually sieved with a 40-mesh sieve, and granular polyethylene or polypropylene can be sieved with a fine wire mesh with a slightly larger particle size than the resin.
3. Grinding&Mixing: For powder additives with coarse particles or easy to agglomerate, the slurry is ground with a plasticizer, then the slurry is added and evenly mixed and dispersed in the resin. The grinding equipment is a three-roller mill with a ratio of additives to plasticizers in the grinding formula of about 1: 11.
4. Granulation: Plastic particles can be granulated by a twin-screw extruder, and the plastic raw materials after cleaning, screening and grinding are fed into a heating tube, extruded into strips through the extruder, and then cut into pellets.
The production process of rubber products is as follows:
1. Plasticizing: The process of degrading the long-chain molecules of raw rubber to form plasticity. There are two methods of raw rubber plastic refining: mechanical plastic refining and thermoplastic refining.
2. Mixing: The rubber after plastic mixing is evenly mixed with compounding agents (such as fillers, plasticizers, antioxidants, etc.) to form a rubber compound.
3. Calendering: The rubber compound is pressed into a film of a certain thickness and width by a calender.
4. Extrusion: Rubber compounds are pressed into various shapes of hoses and tapes by an extruder.
5. Molding: Calendered or pressed film or hoses are molded according to product requirements.
6. Vulcanization: The formed rubber products are vulcanized in the vulcanization equipment to cross-link the rubber molecules to form elastic rubber products.
