Downstream products of chlorine that have been industrialized, aside from PVC
Thread Content
The main downstream product of chlorine is PVC resin, but there is an oversupply of PVC in the domestic market. Given the regional advantages of various enterprises, it is urgent to find other downstream products for chlorine. What are the currently mature and profitable chlorine-based products available in China?
There are many, such as chlorinated paraffins, hypochlorite, and pesticides.
Propylene oxide, chloropropylene oxide, methyl chlorides, and so on
I searched carefully for chlorine-consuming products; it seems the market is already saturated.
Isocyanates produced using phosgene all require chlorine
One type is isocyanuric acid, which is widely used in disinfectants and similar products; it has a high efficiency and requires relatively low investment.
==================== Many sophisticated organic chlorine-based products in China are manufactured on a small-scale, artisanal basis; the manufacturers are small in size, with weak technical capabilities and a limited pool of skilled personnel. Due to the low level of automation in the production equipment, the quality of the products is far inferior to that of imported similar products. In fact, these products can be produced by large chlor-alkali companies. Small-scale, artisanal organic chlorine chemical enterprises will also inevitably be phased out gradually. My current focus is on chlorinated isotactic polypropylene and refined polymer-grade terephthaloyl chloride.
