product key technologies
Biaxial Orientation Technology
Description: Biaxial orientation is a crucial process in the production of BOPET film. It involves stretching the film in both the machine direction (MD) and the transverse direction (TD) to enhance its physical properties.
Process: The film is first heated to a stretchable temperature and then stretched in the machine direction. After that, it is stretched in the transverse direction, usually using a tenter frame.
Advantages: This process significantly improves the film's tensile strength, tear resistance, and dimensional stability.
Extrusion Technology
Description: Extrusion is the process of shaping molten plastic material into a continuous film.
Equipment: Extruders with screws of appropriate diameter and length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio are used to melt and extrude the PET resin.
Key Parameters: The temperature, pressure, and speed of the extruder are critical parameters that affect the quality of the film.
For the Quarter Ending September 2024 - North American BOPET Film Market Analysis
During the third quarter of 2024, the North American BOPET Film market witnessed a notable decline in prices, with the United States experiencing the most pronounced changes. Various factors contributed to this downward trend, including an oversupply in the market and a decrease in demand from downstream industries. Additionally, logistical challenges, such as weather disruptions and heightened freight costs, further compounded the situation.
The pricing data for this quarter revealed a 7% decrease compared to the same quarter in the previous year and a 3% drop from the preceding quarter of 2024. This reflected the ongoing bearish sentiment in the market. Furthermore, a comparison between the first and second halves of the quarter indicated an additional 1% decline in prices. These trends underscored the difficulties faced by industry stakeholders in navigating fluctuating demand and supply conditions.
As of the quarter's end, the price for BOPET Film in the United States was USD2,055 per metric ton (DDP Los Angeles). This figure highlighted a consistently negative pricing environment, characterized by multiple factors leading to a sustained decrease in market prices. Overall, the combination of oversupply, reduced demand, and logistical issues created a challenging landscape for BOPET Film pricing in North America.
