Covina, Oct. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polycarbonate is a versatile and widely-used thermoplastic polymer known for its exceptional combination of properties, including high impact resistance, transparency, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. It was first synthesized in the mid-20th century and has since found applications in a variety of industries.
Polycarbonate is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, construction, and medical devices. The growth of these industries, especially in emerging markets, is expected to drive the demand for polycarbonate market.
Key Highlights –
- In September 2023, SABIC and Sinopec launched mass polycarbonate production plant for Greater China region. The new PC factory, with a 260 kT annual designed capacity, is meant to be a key component of SABIC's PC expansion strategy in China, opening up possibilities for additional partnerships with both local and international clients.
Analyst View –
Increasing environmental concerns have led to a growing demand for sustainable materials. Polycarbonate is recyclable and has a lower environmental impact compared to some other plastics, making it an attractive option for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
