Zibo “little giant” Huatian rubber and plastics, customized polyurethane new materials for big country heavy equipment

On June 15th, in the laboratory of Zibo Huatian Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd., researchers were testing the performance of a new polyurethane material. This new material is tailor-made for the large transport aircraft independently developed by our country, and a number of technical indicators have filled the domestic gaps in related fields.

"It has excellent high and low temperature resistance, flame retardancy, and compression resistance, which can effectively guarantee the reliability and safety of aircraft in long-distance transportation tasks." Tian Liang, deputy general manager of Huatian Rubber and Plastics, said.

Zibo Huatian Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd. is located in Huantai Economic Development Zone. It is a governing unit of China Polyurethane Industry Association and a national-level "little giant" enterprise specialized in specialization and innovation. In recent years, Huatian Rubber & Plastic has focused on the innovative research and development of polyurethane raw materials, accurately locked the market development trend, adhered to the support of talents and the driving force of research and development, and followed the road of technological innovation and development, opening up a broad space for high-quality development.

Polyurethane is known as the "fifth largest synthetic material" that can replace plastics, rubber and other products, and is widely used in light industry, electronics, automobiles, national defense, aerospace and other fields. With rich experience in the production and R&D of polyurethane raw materials, Huatian Rubber & Plastic has developed polyurethane elastomer materials for the mid-to-high-end market, which are widely used in high-speed trains across the country. The polyester prepolymers produced account for 40% of the total domestic market The above products are also exported to international markets such as the United States, India, Turkey, Russia, and South Korea. Since 2007, the company has been the only domestic supplier of new elastomer raw materials for well-known international brands such as Adidas, Nike, and Anta.

Although the technology in the field of civilian products is becoming more and more perfect, when faced with the customization needs of new national defense materials, the strict technical indicators and the sense of mission to contribute to the cause of national defense all make Huatian Rubber and Plastic feel great pressure and motivation.

"In order to provide high-quality new materials that meet the requirements, we first start with the formula, independently design the raw material structure, catalytic additives, etc. Overcame technical difficulties and successfully delivered qualified and high-quality products.” said Wang Baoshan, deputy manager of the R&D Department of Huatian Rubber and Plastics.

Technological innovation is the internal driving force to accelerate the development of enterprises. Huatian Rubber & Plastic insists on "science and technology in command", and has established long-term and stable industry-university-research cooperation relations with Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tianjin University and other institutions of higher learning, as well as domestic famous polyurethane R&D institutions, and established a relatively complete new product research and development system. In the past 5 years, the annual research and development funds have been more than 8 million yuan, and the cumulative scientific research investment has exceeded 50 million yuan. China Polyurethane Industry Association Polyurethane Elastomer Engineering Technology Center, Zibo City Key Laboratory, Zibo City Super Wear-resistant Polyurethane Material Engineering Technology Center, etc. 5 A technology research and development platform, obtained 24 national patents such as polyurethane elastomer composite material technology for spraying, developed more than 200 products, and supplied more than 5,000 customers at home and abroad.

"We are confident that within 3 to 5 years, we will achieve a sales revenue of 3 billion to 4 billion yuan!" Speaking of development prospects, Zhang Hua, chairman of Huatian Rubber and Plastics, said with confidence that he will further expand the polyurethane industry chain and move upwards. Extend to the fields of raw material research and development and product structure design, continue to expand product research and development efforts, provide customers with professional customized solution services, and help enterprises achieve higher-quality development.
