A few days ago, Taiwan's electronics announced the giant panel spent nearly $5 billion nt, respectively in tainan and mainland zhenjiang expanding a set of annual capacity of 80000 metric tons of methyl two ene acid methyl ester (PMMA) factories. To the end of 2011 after the production of full, chi mei PMMA years output by 270000 metric tons to grow to 385000 metric tons, as the world's largest manufacturer. PMMA (poly (methyl acrylate), acrylic resin, is good transparent material, can be used for casting, the injection molding process, etc. Mainly used in LCD flat TV, LED, ion screen technology field. 2011 years of TV sets in 30 million, demand for chi mei is expected to television to future mainland each year by 5% to 8.7% growth, will drive to PMMA growing demand. In addition, in Taiwan, by the German Evonik industries, AU photoelectric products company established a joint venture company, Forhouse Evonik optical polymer recent expansion also started action, new PMMA capacity of 85000 metric tons. South Korea dashan, Japan mitsubishi also have capacity expansion action.
