On July 14, the National Development and Reform Commission released the latest 2023 “Guidance Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment”. 13 categories of restricted items in the petrochemical industry: The production capacity for ordinary synthetic latex – carboxybutadiene styrene rubber (including butadiene styrene latex) has been reduced from below 30,000 tons per year to below 100,000 tons per year ； Iron oxide-based pigments: adjusted from below 10,000 tons per year to below 30,000 tons per year ； The production capacity of steel cord has been adjusted from below 30,000 tons per year to below 50,000 tons per year, etc. Production equipment for acetochlor, 2,4-D, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, atrazine, butachlor, dichlorophenol, oxyfluorfen, diclosulam, pretilachlor, glyphosate, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, mancozeb, trichlorfon, triazolol, propiconazole, iprodione, and sulfur ； Production equipment for nitrocellulose coatings with VOC content exceeding 75% ； Production facilities for dichlorodifluoromethane (HFC-32), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a), and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) that are used for controlled applications such as refrigerants and foam agents (excluding auxiliary facilities). 17 categories to be phased out have been identified; in addition to those in the 2019 version, the following has been added: phosphate ammonium with a production capacity of 100,000 tons per year or less (except for industrial-grade products) (by December 31, 2025) ； Process technologies such as cooling high-temperature gas washing water by direct contact with air in an open cooling tower. As well as the types of highly toxic pesticide products and the range of products to be phased out in accordance with the requirements of international convention implementation plans.
