What You Should Know About Manufacturing Polyresin Products in China
What is Polyresin?
According to Wikipedia, Polyresin is a resin compound generally used for statues, figurines, and decorative furniture. It is a sturdy material that can be intricately molded, allowing a great level of detail with consistent texture. Polyresin is also compatible with a large range of different finishes, including paint and metallic finishes, which is why many decorative pieces are made from this material.
One form of polyresin often used is Alabastrite.

How Do Environmental Laws Impact Manufacturing Polyresin Factories?
China is very well versed to make polyresin products. However, new Environmental Laws are placing restrictions on factories due to the nature of fumes, odors, and wastage in the manufacturing process. The Chinese Government is trying to relocate as many of these factories as possible to the suburbs which makes it very difficult for small factories to stay profitable and survive.
