On September 4, at the 1st plenary meeting of the 7th China Polyurethane Industry Association, Mr. Zhang Haoming, chairman of Aojia Company, was elected as the vice chairman. Today, Tiantian Chemical Network has the honor to invite Mr. Zhang Haoming to accept our interview and listen to his views on the current situation and problems of China’s polyurethane industry, as well as his vision for the future development of China’s polyurethane industry – as long as our polyurethane industry continues to innovate and improve itself, The vitality of China’s polyurethane will shine brighter in the future.
–Vice Chairman of China Polyurethane Industry Association/Mr. Zhang Haoming, Chairman of Aojia
Q1: We all know that the China Polyurethane Industry Association plays a pivotal role in promoting the development of China’s polyurethane industry. As the vice chairman of the association, in the future In the work of the association, what specific work plan or direction do you have, and at what levels do you hope to bring changes to the association and promote the further development of the association?
At the general meeting of the China Polyurethane Industry Association held this time, Chairman Yang Maoliang clearly pointed out that the next main task of the industry is to grow from big to strong. After 25 years of development, China’s polyurethane industry has become the world’s largest production base, accounting for 1/3 of the world’s production capacity. However, at the same time, we are also facing many challenges and there are still many shortcomings. Standing in the forest of polyurethane industry in the world is an urgent problem to be solved at present.
There are four main directions for the association’s future work. First, focus on the sustainable development of China’s polyurethane industry, which mainly involves raw material manufacturers taking on more social responsibilities, and will Environmental protection and sustainability are the primary goals of development; at present, the polyurethane industry has a more specific green environmental protection issue: the classification and recycling of mattresses and sofas. In fact, in addition to incinerating sponges as a heat source, sponges can also be used to make recyclable raw materials, etc., but our industry’s research in this area is still insufficient, and further research and development efforts are needed. Secondly, strengthen the formulation and promotion of the standard operating procedure SOP for polyurethane raw materials, to ensure production safety. Third, cooperate with the association to formulate new polyurethane product standards that keep pace with the times, such as CertiPUR certification in Europe, CertiPUR-US certification in the United States, etc.; Fourth, use Aojia in foreign countries Promote the sustainable development of China’s polyurethane industry.
Q2: At the gate of the Aojia factory, there are eight big characters “newly lead the future, quality builds the world”. What is the special meaning of these two sentences? Is this the development goal and mission of Aojia Company?
From the establishment of the company to the present, we deeply understand that only innovation can drive development, and high quality and good service can win customers. As President Xi Jinping once mentioned, the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy is a major strategy based on the overall situation and facing the future. Shift to innovation-driven development. Australia is also transitioning from factor-driven to innovation-driven development model, our second new factory in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province is Double Entrepreneurship B>, We hope to base ourselves on innovation and use technology to survive and develop in the future.
In recent years, in the communication with overseas counterparts, we found that there is still a big gap between our product development concept and production management and European and American counterparts, but we also have our own advantages, such as the vast domestic market and Global competition keeps us improving. The development of the industry is now at a critical point in time from big to strong. As a member of the industry, Aojia will actively undertake the important task of industry development and is committed to leading polyurethane Industry innovation is the mission, and the goal is to become the global leader in the field of polyurethane additives.
Q3: The new Zhangjiagang factory of Aojia Company has been completed, and will have two production bases in Shanghai and Zhangjiagang in the future. We know that Aojia Shanghai factory was put into operation in 2012, and it will be planned in less than 5 years With the construction of the second production base, what factors contributed to the rapid development of Aojia?
The rapid development of Aojia is mainly due to four important factors. The first important factor is the high-quality corporate culture soil of Aojia.Our The LOGO “OSiC” is the best interpretation of cultural soil. This not only means that we are a Chinese silicone company, but more importantly, it is the cultural core exuded by each word: Openness, Sustainability, Innovation (Innovation), integrity management (Compliance). The second important factor is the excellent quality of Aojia products. During the whole production process, we strictly control the supply of raw materials, continuously optimize the production process, and constantly tighten the factory indicators , can meet the highest technical requirements of industry customers; the third important factor��’s two-step pre-aggregation method has unknowingly bloomed again, but this time the division of labor is clear, raw material manufacturers complete the first step of pre-aggregation, and product manufacturers complete the second step. Modified MDI is gradually challenging the status of traditional TDI system PU sponge products. I believe that in the near future, with the increasing downstream demand And refinement, modified MDI can be found in more existing and new applications, and more prepolymers that meet new functions will be developed and commercialized. Furthermore, it is the overall concern for the “life cycle and natural protection” of PU materials. In the past, the industry paid more attention to the production and use of PU materials. Now, the investigation and research of biodegradable properties, the treatment of PU materials after waste, and the reduction of the pollution and impact of PU products on the natural environment are all industry concerns The key points, these also reflect the social responsibility of the entire industry. From the summary of the above three technical trends, I believe that the development of polyurethane in the future will follow the following principles:
1. “Harmless” and “low-harm” in the production stage of products;
2. “High performance” and “specialization” in the product use stage;
3. “Recycling” and “low pollution” in the later stage of the product.
Regarding the development potential of China’s polyurethane industry in the future,There is a big gap between the per capita consumption of polyurethane in China and foreign countries, and there is still a huge room for development in China’s polyurethane industry. In addition, now we A large number of high-end applications still rely on imports, such as medical care, semiconductors, personal care, etc. Therefore, as long as our polyurethane industry continues to innovate and improve itself, the vitality of China’s polyurethane will shine brighter in the future.
