Huafeng entered the field of degradable materials

In August 2021, Zhejiang Huafeng Environmental Protection Materials Co., Ltd. successfully commissioned the production equipment of the PBAT project with an annual output of 30,000 tons, and produced qualified products at the same time. This move marks Huafon’s entry into the field of degradable materials, and will effectively alleviate the shortage of domestic supply and demand of degradable plastics.

In recent years, Huafon Group has accelerated its entry into the high-quality track of degradable materials with breakthroughs in “stuck neck” technologies such as PPC. (PPC) and modified degradable plastics”, on the basis of the existing industry, actively explore a new path that can not only ensure sustainable growth, but also achieve green, low-carbon, and high-quality development.

“PPC uses CO₂ as the core raw material for production, of which the CO₂ quality fixation rate is as high as 42%.” Zhu Jingli, vice president of the group, said that the product can achieve 90% degradation in 6 months under industrial composting conditions, which is a solution to traditional plastic products from the source. A great green alternative to the “white pollution” problem.

“On June 1 this year, Huafon Group acquired the bio-based business of DuPont in the United States. Its bio-based products such as PDO and PTT are the raw materials of our bio-based polyurethane products. These raw materials are obtained through industrial corn fermentation and belong to 100% green sources. Xu Xu, assistant general manager of Huafon New Materials, said that Huafon currently has 9 bio-based products with a bio-based content of ≥ 22% that have applied for USDA bio-priority label certification, and 11 bio-based products have been tested by the BETA laboratory. .

On June 28, Zhejiang Huafeng’s annual output of 600,000 tons of high-performance degradable new materials started construction in Dingshan Huafeng New Material Industrial Park, Ruian City. After the project is completed, it will form an annual output of 300,000 tons of PBAT, 300,000 tons of PPC and 300,000 tons of PPC. tons of degradable plastic film production capacity. The total investment of the project is 11.8 billion yuan, and the planned construction period is 2022-2026.

Waterborne polyurethane resin is in short supply

The water-based polyurethane resin plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons is located in Huafeng New Material Industrial Park in Dingshan, Ruian City, and will be completed in 2020. Zhu Yan, executive deputy general manager of Zhejiang Huafeng Synthetic Resin Co., Ltd., said: The sales volume of water-based products is very good. On the one hand, we adopt the original “extrusion method” production process, which not only reduces the production cost of products, but also achieves “zero” organic solvent pollution. On the other hand, this is also the test that we have successfully dealt with the supply chain guarantee in the repeated epidemics.

It is understood that among the 23 authorized invention patents obtained by the company in recent years, 9 are environmentally friendly polyurethane resins, of which 3 series of products have passed the “green design product” certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Wenzhou RuianHuafeng New Materials Industrial Park

On February 7, 2017, Jiangsu Huafeng Synthetic Resin Co., Ltd. invested and established Wenzhou Huafeng Synthetic Resin Co., Ltd. in Ruian, and officially launched the Huafeng New Material Industrial Park project as the owner unit. It is understood that the Huafeng New Material Industrial Park project is located in the second phase reclamation area of ​​Dingshan, Ruian Binhai Start-up Area, covering an area of ​​about 1,300 mu. It is planned to build a project with an annual output of 300,000 tons of polyester polyol and an annual output of 100,000 tons of water-based polyurethane resin , 300,000 tons of leather resin, 160,000 tons of nylon 66, 300,000 tons of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer project, Huafeng cogeneration project, etc.

In recent years, Huafeng Group has achieved a large number of products in adiponitrile, water-based polyurethane resin, water-based microfiber materials, carbon dioxide-based high molecular weight biodegradable materials, carbon dioxide polyether polyols, bio-based shoe materials, and nitrous oxide decomposition catalysts. The breakthrough and industrialization of core key technologies not only broke the foreign monopoly and realized domestic substitution, but also changed the situation of the industry being “stuck”. At the same time, the emergence of various carbon reduction and carbon reduction technology products has also comprehensively improved the core of Huafeng enterprise. Competitiveness has driven the green transformation of the industry.
