Thread Content

On May 8, Water Co., Ltd. and China Resources Shuanghe officially signed the first strategic cooperation agreement in China for the bio-based PA46 industry chain, marking a milestone in the country’s efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in key technologies in the field of high-end specialty materials. This move provides strong impetus for ensuring the security of supply chains for critical materials and promoting the high-quality development of the specialty materials industry. As one of the leaders in China’s new materials sector, Water Co., Ltd. has long been dedicated to the field of specialty polymer materials, focusing on the industrialization and self-sufficiency of high-end specialty materials such as PPA, PEEK, LCP, and PTFE. Thanks to its extensive technical expertise, advanced polymerization processes, and well-developed industrial infrastructure, it has become a key enterprise that ensures the security of supply for critical materials in China, providing solid material support for the development of strategic emerging industries downstream. As the core platform for the chemical pharmaceutical business in the healthcare sector of China Resources Group, China Resources Shuanghe has a strong presence in the field of bio-based materials, and possesses the key capabilities for the research, development, and industrialization of important bio-based raw materials such as bio-based diamines. Its in-depth efforts in the fields of green chemistry and biomanufacturing have not only led to a greener upgrade of raw materials but also provided essential support for the green transformation of high-performance materials downstream, establishing a foundation for green development from bio-based raw materials to end-use applications. By working together this time, the two parties have achieved a seamless integration of \"research and development of bio-based raw materials\" and \"industrialization of specialty polymer materials\", serving as a model of collaborative innovation and complementary strengths across the upstream and downstream stages of the industrial chain. Taking this signing as an opportunity, both parties will focus on technological breakthroughs in bio-based new materials as well as their large-scale industrial implementation. Together, they will build a globally competitive bio-based material industry chain, providing localized material solutions with strong resilience and risk resistance for strategic industries such as new energy, high-end manufacturing, and biomedicine, thereby continuing to drive the new materials industry toward greener, higher-quality, and more self-reliant development.
