Guangdong Shunwei Saite Engineering Plastics Co., Ltd. recently obtained a patent for the preparation method of PC/ABS alloy materials granted by the State Intellectual Property Office (patent number CN119019833B), marking a key breakthrough in domestic automotive-grade engineering plastics technology. This innovation optimizes the molecular compatibility of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, so that the material’s low-temperature impact strength at -30°C is increased to 45kJ/m², while the heat deformation temperature is stabilized at above 110°C, perfectly adapting to the harsh working conditions of core components such as battery pack brackets and dashboard frames of new energy vehicles. With the implementation of the EU’s regulations that recycled plastics account for 25% of new cars in 2031, this technology has attracted BYD, Weilai and other automakers to start supply chain substitution tests. It is expected that the domestic automotive PC alloy market will exceed 5 billion yuan in 2025. The extrusion-grade PC+ABS MC8100 material developed by Dongguan Hongjing Plastic Technology has overcome the deformation problem of traditional alloys under temperature and humidity changes through nanofiller modification technology, and the dimensional stability has been improved by 20%4. In the Huawei 5G base station shell project, this material successfully replaced similar products of Bayer in Germany, reducing costs by 18% and passing the UL94 V-0 flame retardant certification, providing a new paradigm for the lightweighting of domestic communication equipment. The ST-1009 series of electroplating-grade PC alloys of Lotte Chemical are gradually replacing the metal chrome plating process with precise metal adhesion control, and are applied to the substrate of Ideal Automobile door handles, with a single piece weight reduction of 60%.
Faced with the situation where international giants SABIC and Covestro occupy 70% of the global market share, domestic companies are breaking through with differentiated technical routes. The halogen-free flame-retardant PC/ABS series launched by Kingfa Technology has been modified by aerogel insulation to maintain structural integrity for more than 2 hours in 800℃ flames, and has been used in the fireproof cabin of CATL energy storage containers. Wanhua Chemical’s optical-grade PC alloy breaks through the refractive index fluctuation limit of ±0.0001, providing a replacement for Japan’s Teijin AD-5503 for DJI drone lenses. Behind these technological breakthroughs is the strategic transformation of China’s engineering plastics industry from “import dependence” to “standard definition” – when Shunwei Saite’s patented material passes the 100,000 folding test and is applied to OPPO hinges, Made in China is reshaping the global competition rules in the microscopic world of polymer chains
