Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) news, the company recently in the Bayer Integrated Site Shanghai (BISS) officially celebrated its first one million tons of polycarbonate production. This achievement marks the Bayer MaterialScience has the ability to provide adequate polycarbonate material for China and Asia Pacific customers local and global customers.

Bayer MaterialScience polycarbonate business, global head of Dr. Markus Steilemann said: "The closer to the user market is the main driver of our growth, and customers in China and the Asia-Pacific region can more quickly obtain the required raw materials from our Integrated Site Shanghai we fast and efficient decision-making process but also allow customers to benefit from the same time by means of polymer research and development center of the regional innovation center, we are also able to work closely with our customers to develop innovative solutions. "

It is reported in the Chinese automotive and transportation industry, Bayer MaterialScience has begun with local partners in close cooperation and achieved good results. Bayer polycarbonate customers choose to improve passenger safety and comfort, creating cutting-edge interior structure, and by reducing vehicle weight to achieve a significant decline in energy consumption. Under the strong promotion of electric transportation infrastructure needs, Bayer polycarbonate is also used in the manufacture of electric vehicle charging piles and other products, designers and manufacturers began to use polycarbonate LED lights to replace incandescent to build more energy efficient lighting system. Furthermore, in terms of lightweight trains, metro and tram interiors as well as laptop computers and other electronic devices, Bayer polycarbonate also played an important role.

According to reports, the use of super notebook computer enhanced polycarbonate shell thickness can be thinned up to 45%, with this new high-performance electronic devices made ??of plastic weight may be less than 100 grams.

"Although we continue to develop innovative products, in the course of our operations, security and stability is our top priority and we have complied with the safety practices in production and work processes through sophisticated and rigorous work process to ensure the stability and efficiency. "Dr. Markus Steilemann said.

Bayer MaterialScience melt polycarbonate process to produce polycarbonate, which is a multi-step solvent without using a continuous polycondensation process. In addition to non-solvent, the process compared with other technology also has more advantages, including a 20% reduction in energy consumption, water consumption reduction of 60%.

Acciona think Germany Kunststoffe magazine citing data that in 2012, China consumed about 1.3 million tons of polycarbonate, accounting for about 35 percent of the global total fees. Zhuo record information is expected that by 2015, Chinas demand is expected to reach 1.78 million tons of polycarbonate. "We see Chinas automotive, electronics and construction industries demand for Bayer polycarbonate products is growing, I believe the future will have a healthy polycarbonate positive development, especially in China." Dr. Markus Steilemann said.
