The process of domestic substitution in my country’s methylaluminoxane (MAO) market continues to accelerate, and the industry development trend is improving.
Methylaluminoxane, referred to as MAO, is a chemical substance with the chemical formula C3H9Al3O3X2, which appears as a colorless liquid. Methylaluminoxane is a type of fine chemical product that is widely used in medicine, chemical industry and other fields.
There are various production methods for methylaluminoxane, mainly including free hydration method, crystallization adsorption hydration method, etc. Among them, the crystallization adsorption hydration method is currently a commonly used production method of methylaluminoxane. It refers to a method that uses trimethylaluminum as raw material and reacts it with inorganic salts containing crystal water to generate methylaluminoxane. It has low production cost. , low production environment requirements and other advantages.
From the upstream of the industrial chain, trimethylaluminum (TMA) is the raw material for the production of methylaluminoxane. At present, there are Zhejiang Borui Electronic Technology, Guangdong Pioneer Microelectronics Technology, Nanda Optoelectronics Yagelsheng Electronics, Anhui Botai Many companies such as electronic materials have deployed in this field. As the production capacity of local enterprises continues to expand, my country’s trimethylaluminum output continues to increase, thus creating favorable conditions for the development of the methylaluminoxane industry.
From the downstream of the industrial chain, chemical industry is the main application field of methylaluminoxane. In this field, methylaluminoxane is mainly used in metallocene catalyst production scenarios, playing the role of alkylating metallocenes and generating active centers. Metallocene catalysts are widely used in engineering plastics, elastomers, glass and other fields. Driven by the rapid development of the downstream market, the demand for metallocene catalysts and its important component methylaluminoxane continues to grow, and the industry shows good development prospects.
According to the “Global Methyl Aluminoxane (MAO) Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Area Research Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center 》 It shows that the current global methylaluminoxane production capacity is mainly concentrated in the hands of companies in developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and Europe, including Tosoh of Japan, Albemarle of the United States, Lanxess of Germany, and AkzoNobel of the Netherlands. wait. Due to limitations in raw materials and technology, my country’s demand for methylaluminoxane has long been mainly dependent on imports, and the level of localization is low.
However, in recent years, as local companies continue to increase their research and development efforts, my country has achieved technological breakthroughs in the fields of trimethylaluminum (TMA) and methylaluminoxane (MAO). In March 2022, Anhui Botai Electronic Materials’ annual output The 180 tons of high-purity trimethylaluminum (TMA) and the annual production of 250 tons of methylaluminoxane (MAO) projects have successfully passed acceptance and have formal production capabilities. Anhui Botai Electronics broke the monopoly of international companies in the domestic MAO market and started the process of domestic substitution.
Industry analysts said that methylaluminoxane is a type of fine chemical product, mainly used in Metal catalyst production scenario. Currently, driven by the rapid development of the metallocene catalyst market, the domestic market demand for methylaluminoxane continues to grow, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, due to limitations in technology and raw materials, my country’s market demand for methylaluminoxane has always relied on imports, and the level of localization is low. In recent years, against the background of technological breakthroughs made by local companies, my country has successfully launched the localization process of MAO, and the future development trend of the industry will be positive.
