According to the China Chemical Industry News reported that China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation official public opinion last week: according to "National Economic Industry Classification" masterbatch industry should be classified as plastic products industry 30 major categories, 309 classes, subclasses, 3090 other plastic products manufacturing.

This should be the international's first precedent: China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation said publicly that masterbatch industry should be classified plastic products industry.

The report, "to consult on the home masterbatch industry response" document states, masterbatch production technology for the typical plastic processing technology, the production process involves only the physical mixing without chemical reaction. These words right, masterbatch is a synthetic resin as a carrier (such as PE, PP, ABS, PET, PA, etc.) with an amount of a pigment and a small amount of dispersing agent by extrusion granulation into. Its production process includes heating, mixing, cooling and pelletizing.

However, this can prove plastics masterbatch is it? In fact, this is not important. Intention China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation is very clear, it is to help companies avoid masterbatch "unnecessary trouble."

As chemical companies, masterbatch manufacturers subject to strict corporate relocation management, labor safety assessment, exports and other areas. Masterbatch as chemical products, but also bear a higher tax burden than plastic products.

China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, said masterbatch production industry no significant chemical safety problems, never had serious accidents in production. Masterbatch production enterprises no "three wastes" emissions, environmental pollution accident has never been triggered.

Industry summary
Association wants to help promote the development of the industry is certainly understandable, but this is definitely not a logical division customary. Wait and see how the government will adopt this public opinion.
