Invest 250 million yuan! This fluorine chemical technology upgrade project is about to go into operation! At 15:40:53 on March 27, 2025, upon entering the production workshop of Guizhou Hongshun Chemical Co., Ltd., the reporter saw a large truck loaded with over ten tons of raw materials, ready to unload its cargo. Workers used forklifts to unload the materials and stack them neatly in a corner of the warehouse, in preparation for normal production once the technical upgrades were completed. Guizhou Hongshun Chemical Co., Ltd. was established in November 2022. The first-phase project involves an investment of 250 million yuan, with plans to produce 20,000 tons of potassium (sodium) fluosilicate per year. This technical upgrade and expansion project will update and modernize the existing centrifuges and production equipment; it will also involve the addition of facilities such as electronic-grade fluorine chemical processing units and automated drying systems, in order to further increase the production capacity of sodium fluosilicate and optimize the production process, thus meeting the growing market demand for this product. Guizhou Hongshun Chemical Co., Ltd. is purchasing new equipment, making further improvements, and expanding its production capacity. I will also introduce new companies to engage in circular economy practices and implement closed-loop systems. Second, electronic-grade fluorine chemicals such as potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride also need to be produced. Potassium fluosilicate and sodium fluosilicate are the most widely used fluorosilicate compounds in the construction and building materials industries. They are primarily used as preservatives for wood, agents to make glass opaque, moisture absorbers in acid-resistant cement, as well as in pesticides and insecticides. These products are relatively scarce in the domestic market, yet there is a high demand for them. While carrying out technological upgrades and expansions, the company also engages in small-scale production. Through special crystallization processes and modifications, the products manufactured have high purity and high brightness; they are in high demand and the supply falls short of the request. The product currently manufactured by Guizhou Hongshun Chemical Co., Ltd. is potassium (sodium) fluosilicate, which is produced through the reaction of fluosilicic acid with sodium sulfate. The entire production process involves synthesis, crystallization, separation, and drying to obtain the final product. Our products are mainly used in industries such as glass, ceramics, and cement. It is reported that this technical upgrade and expansion project is expected to be completed by the end of May. By then, the company’s production capacity for sodium fluosilicate will increase significantly, which will not only help meet the domestic demand for this product but also enhance the company’s competitiveness in the industry. Guizhou Hongshun Chemical Co., Ltd. prepared all the necessary foundations in the early stages. Secondly, the drying system was rebuilt; a new electric-based drying system was installed as well, one with an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons, which will further improve the quality of the products.
