Just pay attention to the food packaging around you, you will find that the packaging inner film of Yili milk and Huiyuan juice is inseparable from high-end polyethylene products. In the field of liquid aseptic packaging, the inner film of the packaging must be in direct contact with the beverage, which cannot affect the taste of the beverage, and must also pass the relevant world food hygiene certification.
To this end, major domestic food companies mostly use imported polyethylene products as packaging materials. At present, Xiangyun Company occupies 90% of the domestic beverage packaging market, and Xiangyun's annual demand for polyethylene products exceeds 70,000 tons, and all of them are imported from the United States and South Korea.
Petrochemical's old high-pressure device, which began to "exercise" in 1976, can produce 120,000 tons of polyethylene products a year, but it is mainly used to produce woven bags, paper and instant noodle packaging bags, etc., and has never opened the beverage packaging inner film market. . With the start of the Middle East ethylene project, the competition in the Asian polyethylene market is becoming more and more intense. In order to stand out from the siege and conquer the world with high-end fist products, since 2007, Petrochemical has aimed at the domestic blank of the high-end polyethylene market.
"Low-density polyethylene products have high demands on production efficiency, taste and melting point." said Chen Qingkui, director of the third research room of the Institute of Petrochemical Resins Application. The more than 100-page "Product Quality Requirements" in his hand is the only guideline provided by Xiangyun Company, and to reach the many specifications listed under each major item, it is necessary to tackle many difficult problems. .
