roduction and demand status
Rubber antioxidant is a kind of chemical added in the process of rubber production, which can delay the aging of rubber and prolong the service life of rubber. According to its main functions, it can be divided into anti thermal oxygen aging agent, anti ozone agent, harmful metal ion inhibitor, anti fatigue agent, ultraviolet absorber, anti cracking agent, etc.
With the eastward movement of the global rubber industry, especially the production bases of the global tire industry have successively moved to Asia, the rubber additive industry has ushered in a historic development opportunity. China is the world's largest producer and supplier of rubber additives, and plays an important role in the world. In 2021, the output of rubber additives in China reached 1.37 million tons, of which rubber antioxidant accounted for 30%.
In 2021, the output of natural rubber and synthetic rubber in China increased compared with that in 2020. Among them, the output of natural rubber increased by 23%, resulting in a significant increase in the output of rubber antioxidant. In 2021, the output of rubber antioxidant in China was 415000 tons, an increase of 13% over the same period in 2020.

Import and export situation
From the import and export data, China's rubber antioxidant exports are far greater than imports, and the overall import and export trend is declining. In 2021, with the improvement of the global epidemic situation, the world economy is gradually improving, the rubber products dominated by tires are gradually recovering, and the demand for rubber antioxidant is increasing. Against this background, the import and export volume and amount of China's rubber antioxidant have increased. In 2021, the export volume of rubber antioxidant was 19000 tons, The import volume is 5000 tons.
