The current situation and development strategy of Chinese special paper industry

Doctor and associate professor Zhou Xiaofan

Special paper is generally a kind of paper with higher value added to a specific performance and use. Special paper can be roughly divided into traditional special paper and special special paper. Traditional specialty paper can be used for special packaging, labeling, decoration and other printing purposes. Special specialty paper needs special processing power and special technology to manufacture. Usually, the market capacity is relatively small, such products often have their unique properties. Chinese in Taiwan and Japan in addition to special paper, also put forward the concept of functional paper (also known as functional paper), the so-called functional paper generally refers to non plant fibers and with the special function of paper.

According to Japan published "new functional paper book overview Shanghai division, functional paper can be divided into mechanical properties, thermal properties, electrical and electronic, magnetic and optical properties, music characteristics, characteristics, adhesion separation and filtration characteristics, water characteristics and oil gas characteristics, adsorption characteristics and physical properties and other chemical the biological characteristics, chemical characteristics, sensibility, etc. 16 kinds of special composite mu, there are about 600 kinds of functional paper. Compared with ordinary paper, special paper has the characteristics of high performance, high added value, high technical content and short life cycle. In this paper, special paper and functional paper are called special paper for the time being.

1 present situation of special paper industry at home and abroad

Rapid development, a series of high value-added special paper. Among them, the production level of special paper in Japan is in the leading position in the world. At present, there are nearly 100 enterprises engaged in the production of special paper in Japan. In 1998, the total output of paper and cardboard in Japan was 17 million 850 thousand tons, and the total output of special paper was 900 thousand tons, accounting for about 5% of the total paper production. The price of the product is 1.6 - 6 times the price of the general paper.

China's specialty paper field although there is great gap on the whole with foreign advanced level, but by adjusting the development in recent years, the optimization and innovation, is the emergence of a number of competitive large group companies, and some characteristic of small and medium-sized enterprises, such as: Jiang Minfeng Special Paper Co. Ltd, Zhejiang Zhejiang Kaine special paper Limited by Share Ltd, Hangzhou Paper Research Institute, Hangzhou Xinhua Paper Mill, Guangdong Paper Co., Ltd. Ltd Shanghai Lianyi Special Paper Co. Ltd., Nanjing Sunway industrial company. A group of enterprises with various varieties and characteristics are initially formed. They have strong competitiveness in the domestic specialty paper market, and some products have begun to export.

At present our country special paper production in some varieties have occupied the leading position in the domestic market, such as cigarette paper, electrolytic capacitor paper, air filter paper, paper and various instruments ECG recording paper, tracing paper, printing transfer paper, advanced drawing paper, color inkjet paper, high light like paper, paper, glue film with paper, speaker pressing ring using black paper and filter paper, carbonless paper, paper, paper, rice seedling stock dictionary paper, decorative paper, Bible paper, pressure-sensitive label paper, watermark security paper, stamp paper, paper surface, chemical fiber paper, wrapping paper roll, transfer printing paper, paper, paper, decals cup paper, PED film, aluminum foil backing paper, paper boxes of fruit bagging paper, flower paper, glass paper etc.. In some high technology specialty paper, such as wear-resistant paper, artificial leather release paper, art paper, thermal fax paper, Ni MH battery and lithium battery separator paper, there are some market products in China. At present, foreign products are still dominant.

Strategic thinking on the development of 2 special paper industry

During the "fifteen" period, the United States, Japan and European developed countries are fully developing new technologies, new products and new equipment in the field of special paper, improving the added benefit and profitability level. With China's entry into the WTO and the rapid growth of the economy, the capacity of China's special paper market will become more and more large. Foreign special paper companies compete for the Chinese market with the scale efficiency of their large factories, the integrated technological capabilities of the comprehensive development and the quick adjustment system.

According to the current situation and potential of the special paper market, we should promote the development of the special paper industry with the strategy of "going in and out". First of all, we should start from the alternative import for the domestic market. It is easy to find the new field of application, and then compete for the international market. In the tobacco industry accelerated the product structure and technical structure of special paper in the field of adjustment and reorganization, in improving the comprehensive competitive strength. At the same time, the key to accelerate the technological progress of the whole industry, improve new product development ability, strain capacity and market competitiveness. In the future to further expand the development of specialty paper varieties, improve the wide range of large conventional special paper product technology content, according to the market demand, the Mu focus on high quality, a series of functions of conventional special paper products, to further grasp the development and application of product development in two aspects, which is the basic technology to replace conventional varieties imported products. Through this measure, the main target is to replace the import in an all-round way, and strive to occupy the domestic market share of the conventional special paper.

3 strategic measures for the development of special paper industry

In order to realize the strategy of "top in and out" and promote the development of special paper industry in an all-round way, we should focus on the six aspects of technology development direction and measures.

3.1 efforts to broaden the fiber resources of special paper, research and develop various functional fibers and products, and develop special paper application fields

The main body of special paper is fiber, and the function of many special paper is related to the function of fiber, chemical fiber
