Qingdao Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Dongjiakou Circular Economy Zone of Huangdao New Area, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, and is an enterprise within the Dongjiakou Industrial Park of Qingdao Gulf Group. Qingdao Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd. was established in 1947. Following a complete relocation of the company in 2011, its new factory is located at No. 66 Gangfeng Road, Dongjiakou Economic Zone, Huangdao New Area, where it produces more than a dozen products including caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)…

The Qingdao Gulf Chemical Olefin New Materials project, with a total investment of 4 billion yuan, will mainly involve the construction of facilities for producing 400,000 tons per year of vinyl chloride monomer via the ethylene process, as well as 400,000 tons per year of polyvinyl chloride. The products produced will be used in industries such as healthcare, membranes, automobiles, medical devices, and packaging. Once all the facilities are in operation, the production capacity of polyvinyl chloride will rank first in China among those produced via the ethylene process. Qingdao Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd. was established in 1947. It is a member enterprise of the Dongjiakou Industrial Park under Qingdao Gulf Group Co., Ltd., and is located at No. 66 Gangfeng Road, Dongjiakou Economic Zone, Huangdao New Area, Qingdao City, Shandong Province. In 2012, Gulf Chemical adapted to the adjustments in Qingdao’s industrial structure and regional layout. Guided by the concept of \"four modernizations\" – internationalization of technology, large-scale equipment, ecological environmental protection, and modern management – it introduced advanced international technologies and equipment and carried out a complete relocation of the company from Shibei District in Qingdao to its current location. The main products include 32% and 50% caustic soda, vinyl chloride (VCM), SPVC of types SG-8, SG-7, SG-5, and SG-3, dichloroethane (EDC), etc., with traditional caustic soda manufacturers evolving into integrated enterprises in the caustic soda and petrochemical industries.

On August 25, 2019, the first installation of equipment was completed for the Qingdao Gulf Chemical project, which is built by 16th Chemical Construction Company and has an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons of polyvinyl chloride. For this lifting operation, a 130-ton crane was used as the main lifting device, with a 50-ton crane assisting in the process; this approach enabled the task to be completed with high quality, earning unanimous praise from the owner and the supervision company.

Three established chemical enterprises in Qingdao have merged to form “Gulf Chemical”, HuiCaoong Chemical Network, October 16, 2017. As a key project for the industrial transformation and upgrading of Qingdao, as well as a major initiative for the relocation and development of the chemical industry, the first phase of the relocation project of Qingdao Haijing Chemical Group in Dongjiakou came online, eliminating 160,000 tons of outdated polyvinyl chloride production capacity and 150,000 tons of caustic soda production capacity; the new products produced meet world-class quality standards. Seizing this opportunity for relocation, Gulf Group took advantage of the spatial and port advantages at Dongjiakou to implement an \"integrated\" strategy. Three chemical companies were merged to form Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd., which enabled the company to address the weaknesses of its older counterparts in terms of costs and energy consumption. This approach helped reduce construction, labor, and resource costs, resulting in savings of 100 million yuan per year and an enhanced competitive edge. Restructuring: Three established chemical companies merge to form a giant in the industry. On October 12, reporters visited Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd., located at No. 66 Gangfeng Road in Huangdao District. This company, which has been included in Qingdao’s top 100 enterprises for several years in a row, as well as among China’s top 500 chemical companies and among the advanced entities in the national petroleum and chemical industry, was formed by the merger of three well-known chemical companies in Qingdao. It is reported that Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd. is affiliated with Qingdao Gulf Group Co., Ltd.; its predecessors were Qingdao Chemical Plant and Haijing Chemical, which was established in 1947. Adhering to the development philosophy of \"internationalization of technology, enlargement of equipment, ecological awareness in environmental protection, and modernization of management,\" Haijing Chemical began its environmental-friendly relocation in 2010, with all facilities coming online in the second half of 2016. On June 20, 2017, Haijing Chemical was renamed Qingdao Gulf Chemical Co., Ltd. On September 20, Gulf Chemical merged with Qingdao Alkali New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. to carry out restructuring. Dongyue Sodalite Co., Ltd., founded in 1943, is the largest, most diversified, and oldest specialized manufacturer of silicate products in China, and it is also the only state-owned enterprise in this industry. After moving to the Dongjiakou Industrial Park, a sodium metasilicate production line with an annual capacity of 120,000 tons was built; it is currently the largest such production line in Asia. The new production line has been optimized by drawing on the advanced technologies of foreign companies such as the US-based PQ Company and the Swedish company EKA, **increasing the capacity and automation level of the equipment. In July 2016, Dongyue’s sodium metasilicate production facility for soda ash was transferred to Haijing Chemical. It is reported that the restructured Gulf Chemical will have a total investment of 5.3 billion yuan, cover an area of 2,000 mu, and possess the capacity to produce 300,000 tons of caustic soda, 400,000 tons of vinyl chloride, 300,000 tons of polyvinyl chloride, 500,000 tons of styrene, and 120,000 tons of sodium metasilicate per year. It will also have 2 berths with a capacity of 10,000 tons each. Once the project is fully operational, it will be able to produce products that meet the various needs of high-end customers both domestically and internationally.

Gulf Chemical Company – at first glance, it seems to be a chemical manufacturing facility built in the Gulf.

If it is a process of upgrading, it is possible to take advantage of the situation to improve the technological level of the industry and meet the demands brought about by changes in market structure. It is also hoped to meet the needs of the mid-to-high-end market. Otherwise, ordinary products would have long been suffering from overcapacity
