Polydicyclopentadiene PDCPD, a new automotive material, has been gaining popularity recently? Have you not paid attention to the volatile market for dicyclopentadiene like this? Cyclopentadiene is divided into refined bicyclic rings with a content of over 95% and crude bicyclic rings with a content of about 80-85% according to their content. Among them, coarse double ring is widely used in the production of modified UPR resin and DCPD petroleum resin.

What is' dicyclopentadiene '? Don't ask me why I guessed it: Actually, you don't quite understand what "dicyclopentadiene" is yet?

After reading the above industry trends, do you have any questions in your mind?

Let's take a look, its structure is shown in the following figure:

Dicyclopentadiene "(DCPD), also known as dicyclopentadiene, is a dimer formed by the Diels Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene. It has two isomers, inner and outer.

Dicyclopentadiene is mainly used in the production of unsaturated polyester, dicyclopentadiene resin, hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene resin, RIM reaction injection molding, adamantane, tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (high-energy fuel), flaxseed oil modification, cyclopentene, cyclopentanol, cyclopentanone, flame retardants, fragrances, etc.

The luxury upgraded version of "Dicyclopentadiene": My name is "Polydicyclopentadiene PDCPD".

One of the important uses of "dicyclopentadiene" is to synthesize poly (dicyclopentadiene) PDCPD, which is essentially a homopolymer or copolymer of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD).

Polydicyclopentadiene has a three-dimensional cross-linked network structure and is an environmentally friendly and very new type of engineering plastic. In the early 1980s, this high-performance thermosetting engineering plastic was successfully prepared by scientists for the first time. Subsequently, people from different regions around the world developed dozens of products with varying properties.

Various parts can be made by reaction injection molding. Used as automotive components such as bumpers, bumpers, dashboards, fenders, etc., and can also be used as sports equipment casings, chemical resistant containers, etc.

However, looking around, there is currently a significant gap between China's poly (dicyclopentadiene) PDCPD material industry and that of foreign countries. The overall research and development capabilities of basic catalyst systems, production equipment, processes, and related products are all very weak, and the poly (dicyclopentadiene) PDCPD materials on the market are almost entirely dependent on imports.

After entering the new century, the rapid development of the automotive industry has made people increasingly concerned about how poly (dicyclopentadiene) PDCPD is applied in vehicles?

Existing data shows that PDCPD can replace metal or fiberglass in the application of vehicle shells and other components. Its advantages are: light weight, easier transportation and assembly, and can reduce the labor intensity of workers on the production line, reduce vehicle fuel consumption, and increase vehicle load capacity; Small investment, short production cycle, and quick results; The vehicle shell can achieve free design of appearance, making it more diverse and personalized; The surface roughness of the shell can reach Class A almost without any treatment before painting; Excellent coloring, electroplating and aging resistance.
