As the demand for high-performance, safe, and environmentally friendly materials continues to grow, traditional plastics are increasingly unable to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern applications. In this context, modified plastic granules have emerged as a key material solution across various industries. By enhancing base resins through additives such as reinforcements, flame retardants, UV stabilizers, impact modifiers, and anti-aging agents, modified plastics offer improved mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties—enabling their use in a wide range of everyday products.

1. Home Appliances

The home appliance sector requires materials with excellent thermal stability, electrical insulation, and dimensional accuracy. Modified plastics are widely used in both exterior housings and internal functional components:

• Glass fiber-reinforced PP, PA6/PA66: Used in washing machine impellers, motor frames, and structural parts;

• Flame-retardant PC/ABS alloys: Common in television casings, rice cookers, and hairdryers;

• Reinforced PBT: Ideal for connectors and electrical modules due to its outstanding insulation and heat resistance.

2. Automotive Industry

Modified plastics play a crucial role in automotive lightweighting initiatives by replacing traditional metal parts, thus reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel efficiency while maintaining high performance.

• Reinforced PP and TPO: Used for interior trim panels, dashboards, and bumpers;

• PA6/PA66 + Glass Fiber: Suitable for under-the-hood applications such as intake manifolds, engine covers, and brackets;

• Flame-retardant PBT and PET: Applied in electronic connectors, relay housings, and sensor components.

3. Electrical and Electronics

The electrical and electronics industry requires materials with excellent insulation, flame retardancy, and dimensional stability. Modified engineering plastics meet these stringent requirements:

• Flame-retardant PBT, PA66, and PC alloys: Used in power adapters, sockets, switches, and terminal blocks;

• Reinforced PC and ABS: Applied in the structural parts of computers, monitors, and printers;

• Modified PET/PBT blends: Offer excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance for high-performance electronic applications.

4. Building Materials and Consumer Goods

Modified plastics also find extensive use in construction and daily-use products, thanks to their durability, weather resistance, and ease of processing.

• Modified PVC: Widely used for cable sheathing, drainage pipes, and window profiles;

• Food-grade modified PP and PE: Applied in lunch boxes, water bottles, and kitchen containers;

• Antibacterial ABS or TPE: Used in baby products, sanitary supplies, and public contact surfaces for improved hygiene.

5. Medical and Healthcare Applications

In the medical field, materials must meet stringent safety, biocompatibility, and chemical resistance standards. Modified plastics provide ideal solutions for a range of non-implantable medical components and disposable devices:

• Modified PP/PE: Used in syringes, infusion sets, and reagent bottles;

• Transparent PC and PMMA: Applied in diagnostic devices, monitor casings, and protective covers;

• Antimicrobial materials: Used on surfaces in hospitals such as buttons, handles, and equipment panels to reduce cross-contamination.
