Break the monopoly and focus on high-end! Wanhua Chemical announces another three major projects

On April 10, Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd. released the draft environmental impact report for the industrialization test project of 500 tons/year isopropanolamine (IPAM) on its official website. The environmental impact report draft of the reconstruction project and the sulfone polymer project was publicized.

Project name: 500 tons/year isopropanolamine (IPAM) industrialization test project

Project location: Wanhua Yantai Industrial Park, Yantai Chemical Industrial Park

Project overview: This project utilizes the facilities in the existing plant of Wanhua Chemical to rebuild, and mainly conducts the industrialization test of isopropanolamine (IPAM). The storage and transportation engineering, public auxiliary engineering and environmental protection engineering all rely on the existing ones.

Relying on the advantages of Wanhua's propylene oxide/ethylene oxide-polyether polyol-isopropanolamine whole industry chain integration, the project's product competitiveness has reached the international leading level through self-developed technology, breaking the barriers of multinational companies. Technology monopoly seeks new profit growth points for Wanhua, which is more conducive to the sustainable development of the company and enhances the company's own competitiveness.

Isopropanolamine is a fine chemical raw material with environmental protection and excellent performance, and has great potential in domestic and foreign markets.

Isopropanolamine can be used as a raw material for surfactants and fiber industry refining agents, antistatic agents, dyeing auxiliaries and fiber wetting agents, etc.; used as surfactants, rubber vulcanization accelerators and solvents; react with fatty acids to generate fatty acids Isopropanolamide (alkyl isopropanolamide) and esters are used as industrial synthetic detergents; the products obtained from thioglycolic acid can be used as bases for cosmetics, etc.

Isopropanolamine manufacturers are mainly concentrated in China, Germany, the United States and other countries, such as BASF in Germany and Dow Chemical in the United States. Due to the high technical threshold, only a dozen companies in the world can produce isopropanolamine. In China, only Hongbaoli can produce a full range of isopropanolamine on a large scale, and Hongbaoli's total designed production capacity is 90,000 tons per year.

China's isopropanolamine market has witnessed significant growth over the past decade, mainly driven by growing demand for end products, especially in the personal care and household cleaning industries.

Project Name: MMA Industrialization Plant Reconstruction Project

Project location: Wanhua Yantai Industrial Park, Yantai Chemical Industrial Park

Project overview: The main construction content of this project is mainly to carry out the technical transformation of the existing first-phase MMA device. After the completion of the transformation, the production capacity of the MMA device will remain unchanged, and the product plan will remain unchanged. Public works such as heat supply, water supply, gas supply and environmental protection projects related to the project rely on Wanhua's existing facilities.

Project Name: Sulfone Polymer Project

Project location: Yantai Chemical Industrial Park

Project overview: The production capacity of the polysulfone plant in this project is 1,500 tons per year, and the production of products can be flexibly adjusted according to market needs.

After the completion of this project, Wanhua can reduce a large amount of polysulfone outsourcing costs every year, and reduce the external constraints on the operation of production equipment, which will help break technical barriers, greatly reduce production costs, and greatly improve the market competitiveness of Wanhua products. It is also a high-end product for the development of enterprises.
