Filling a gap in Hebei Province – Sinochem New News: On December 29, Dongguang Chemical Co., Ltd. in Hebei Province officially announced that its medium-granule urea products are now being produced stably and made available on the market. This product not only fills a long-standing gap in Hebei Province’s production capacity in this area, but also provides downstream enterprises in the province with a stable and reliable local supply at a rate of over 2,000 tons per day, marking an important breakthrough for Dongguang Chemical in terms of product structure adjustment and market differentiation strategies. Wang Zhihe, chairman of Dongguang Chemical, explained that medium-grained urea falls between large and small grained ureas; it features high fertilization efficiency and ease of application, making it an important trend in market demand. In the face of industry changes, Dongguang Chemical quickly recognized the market potential and price advantages of medium-grained urea, and decisively carried out upgrades and transformations to its existing 600,000-ton per year production line for small-grained urea. During the transformation process, the company adhered to the principle of \"minimal investment and quick results.\" It did not make major changes to the core equipment, but instead focused its efforts on improving the granulation process, which is a key step in the production process. After numerous trials, the successful production of medium-grained urea to the required standards was achieved. This “minor modification” not only significantly reduced the costs and time required for renovation, but also accelerated product iteration. The medium-grained urea pellets introduced this time are uniform, highly stable, and exhibit excellent resistance to caking. They perform more reliably during long-distance transportation, storage, and mechanical fertilization application, enabling them to better meet the diverse needs of customers in various industries such as agriculture, plastics, and rubber. Wang Zhihe said that the launch of the new medium-granule urea represents an upgrade in the company’s product portfolio; it is also a concrete effort to respond positively to Hebei Province’s call for industrial upgrading and to address the key shortcomings in the province’s industrial chain. The localized production and supply of this product will significantly reduce the procurement costs and supply chain risks for downstream enterprises, enhance the internal driving force and risk resistance of the regional economy, and serve as a positive example for promoting the high-quality development of the chemical industry within the province. At present, Dongguang Chemical has developed a complete urea product portfolio covering large, medium, and small particle sizes, thereby providing comprehensive coverage for a variety of agricultural and industrial applications. Wang Zhihe said that in the next step, Dongguang Chemical will continue to strive to provide customers with higher-quality, more efficient, and more comprehensive product solutions. By relying on its continuous efforts in independent innovation, it will contribute even more to the progress of the chemical industry in Hebei Province and across the country.
