However, as the production of engineering plastics and chemical building materials increases, the demand for flame-retardants will reach 90,000 tons. By the year 2000, demand was to reach 110-120,000 tons. Presently, China's production capacity for light stabilizer equals 1,000 tons, while output hit 750 tons. In 1996, market demand reached 1,600 tons. By 2000, demand was to reach 3,000 tons. China lacks highly efficient varieties and needs to import a large amount of light stabilizers to meet market demand. (references) | ||
