中东和非洲石油和天然气塑料市场-增长,趋势和预测(2019-2024年)
The value chain is initiated by raw material suppliers, who supply petrochemicals and chemical feedstock, along with the additives required to make plastic resins and composites. The raw materials undergo processing to make the different types of plastic resins, namely traditional and engineering plastics, and composites . Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are considered in traditional plastics; while plastics made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyimide (PI), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyether sulfone, polysulfone, polyphenylsulfone, and polyetherimide are considered in engineering plastics. Glass and carbon composites are preferably used in oil and gas applications, majorly pipelines. Some of the major providers of resins for the oil and gas industry are DuPont de Nemours Inc., Röchling Group, Ensinger, Arkema Group, BASF SE, Piedmont Plastics, SABIC, Royal DSM, and Solvay, to name a few.
