New additives (such as heat stabilizers, UV stabilizers and nanofillers) have significantly improved the performance of PVC profiles. For example, the impact strength of PVC profiles with nanofillers has increased by 20%-30% and the service life has been extended by 15%. In addition, automated production lines and intelligent control systems are becoming industry standards, reducing production costs and improving product quality.
Key Development Trends
Green Buildings and Building Energy Conservation
In developed countries, it was originally to reduce the loss of energy in buildings, which was generally called "improving the energy utilization rate in buildings". Under the condition of ensuring the improvement of building comfort, energy is used reasonably and energy utilization efficiency is continuously improved.
Comprehensive building energy conservation is the sum of energy conservation in every link during the entire life cycle of the building. It means that in the process of site selection, planning, design, construction and use of buildings, energy-saving building materials, products and equipment are adopted, building energy conservation standards are implemented, the operation management of energy-saving equipment used in buildings is strengthened, the thermal performance of building envelopes is reasonably designed, the operation efficiency of heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water supply and drainage and pipeline systems is improved, and renewable energy is used. Under the premise of ensuring the use function of the building and the quality of the indoor thermal environment, the energy consumption of buildings is reduced, and energy is used reasonably and effectively.
The concept of sustainable development in the construction industry is based on the basic principles of effective resource utilization, healthy environment and production efficiency. Buildings that meet these principles are called green buildings. Today, "green" has become a symbol of the realization of human environmental protection aspirations and a trend in the development of the construction market. "Greenness" indicates the degree of its contribution to the environment, and building energy-saving products are an important part of reflecting the greenness of buildings. In particular, plastic building materials with low carbon, energy-saving and high cost-effectiveness will attract more and more attention as society develops.
PVC profiles (such as windows and doors) are increasingly used to improve thermal performance and reduce energy consumption, making them a key component of building energy-saving plans.
Plastic Pollution and Recycling
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing humanity today. The annual production of plastics worldwide has exceeded 430 million tons, of which disposable plastics account for as much as one-third. 70% of them are directly discarded into the ocean, air and soil, and less than 10% are recycled. There is no doubt that plastic pollution has caused serious damage to the earth's environment, human and animal health. On June 5, 2023, the United Nations set the theme of the 50th World Environment Day as "Solutions to Plastic Pollution", calling on all sectors of the world to focus on the increasingly serious plastic crisis. From May 29 to June 2, 2023, the second meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) (abbreviated as INC-2) was held in Paris, France, with the aim of formulating a legally binding international instrument on plastic pollution (including plastic pollution in the marine environment). According to the latest data from the United Nations Environment Programme, by implementing circular economy measures, we are expected to reduce the amount of plastic entering the ocean by more than 80% by 2040, reduce the production of virgin plastic by 55%, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25%.
In order to cope with the increasingly severe plastic pollution, the primary task, goal and responsibility currently facing the plastic products industry should be to properly recycle and reuse waste plastics in accordance with the concepts of environmental protection, resource conservation and sustainable development, and innovate products and packaging materials, so as to minimize the harm caused by plastic products to the environment and contribute to the sustainable development of the earth. In particular, we should do a good job in reducing the use of virgin plastics, increasing the proportion of recycled plastics, and improving the recyclability, reusability and degradability of packaging materials.
Technological Innovations
Technological innovations in extrusion processes have driven the production of more customized profiles to meet the specific design and performance standards of modern buildings. With the advancement of extrusion technology, manufacturers can create profiles with more complex shapes and higher performance characteristics. In addition, the development of material formulations, such as the addition of fire-retardant additives or waterproof compounds, makes extruded profiles more suitable for a wider range of applications, including high-performance facades and structural components. At the same time, there are three major trends in plastic extrusion technology: Large-scale and precision. With the development of industrial technology, plastic extrusion molding equipment is moving towards large-scale, which can not only reduce production costs but also improve production efficiency. At the same time, the precision of equipment is also constantly improving, such as the production of multi-layer co-extruded composite films requires more precise extrusion technology. Intelligent and networked. Modern plastic extruders are increasingly dependent on electronic and computer control technologies. These technologies make the extrusion process fully automated, and can realize online detection and control of melt pressure and temperature, each section body temperature, main screw and feed screw speed, feed amount, and various raw material ratios. In addition, the application of networking technology makes it possible to remotely monitor, diagnose and control extrusion molding production lines, which helps to ensure the stability of process conditions and improve product precision. Modularization and specialization. Modular production can meet the special needs of different users, shorten the R&D cycle of new products, and help to gain a larger market share. Specialized production can ensure the quality of each system module component of the extrusion molding equipment, and even conduct global procurement, which helps to ensure the quality of the entire period, reduce costs, and accelerate capital turnover.
Modular Construction and Prefabrication
The trend toward modular construction and prefabricated building components is also influencing the demand for technical extruded profiles. Extruded profiles are crucial in this regard because of their customizability and ease of integration into prefabricated building modules. Prefabricated units of windows, doors, and structural frames made from high-performance extruded profiles can be quickly assembled on site, reducing labor costs and construction time. As modular construction becomes more popular, especially in the residential and commercial sectors, demand for these profiles will continue to grow.
