China metallocene polyethylene (MPE) Industry Research Report (2022 Edition)

Metallocene polyethylene （mPE） Under metallocene catalytic system , Made of ethylene and α- Products of olefin copolymerization . Metallocene catalysis is the most important technological innovation in polyolefin industry in recent decades , Its industrial output mainly includes mLDPE、mHDPE and mLLDPE, among mLLDPE Proportion of demand 60.0%, The other two products mMDPE and mHDPE The proportion is about 20%.

Metallocene polyethylene worldwide （mPE） Mainly used in the field of thin films , Including stretch wrapping film 、 Food packaging film 、 Repackaging film 、 Solid packaging film . One of the most widely used is packaging film （ Including food and non food ）.2021 year , Global production of food and non food packaging films mPE The consumption accounts for% of the total demand respectively 37.2% and 46.0%, For other fields mPE Proportion 16.8%.

In our country mPE R & D started 20 century 80 End of the decade , until 2002 year , Qilu Branch uses the metallocene catalyst developed by Sinopec Research Institute of petrochemical industry to produce film grade mLLDPE, Mark the mPE Realize industrial production . In recent years , The number of units participating in the research and development of metallocene catalysts has increased . Among them, industrial applications are mainly represented by Sinopec and research institutes subordinate to PetroChina . Due to the late start of metallocene polyethylene in China , At the same time, it is subject to technical barriers to production , Production costs are high , Domestic annual output is limited , In recent years, it has maintained 18-20 Ten thousand tons of / year .

2017 Metallocene polyethylene in China （mPE） Requirement 74.6 Ten thousand tons of , Year-on-year growth 8.5%;2018 Metallocene polyethylene in China （mPE） Requirement 82.6 Ten thousand tons of , Year-on-year growth 10.7%;2019 Metallocene polyethylene in China （mPE） Requirement 92.2 Tons of , Year-on-year growth 11.6%;2020 Metallocene polyethylene in China （mPE） Requirement 101.5 Ten thousand tons of , Year-on-year growth 10.1%;2021 Metallocene polyethylene in China （mPE） Requirement 113.0 Ten thousand tons of , Year-on-year growth 11.3%.

at present , China has put into production 、 be under construction 、 Proposed multiple sets PE All devices are planned to be produced mPE. Under construction , Sinopec Quanzhou branch 40 ten thousand t/aHDPE Device adoption MarTECH ADL Double loop slurry process ; ExxonMobil Huizhou ethylene project 1 period （ expect 2024 Annual commissioning ） It includes 120 ten thousand t/a Of mPE device . In the proposed project ,2020 year 5 CNOOC shell, which signed the contract in August 3 period 150 ten thousand t/a Ethylene and downstream supporting projects , The new mPE device .
