Oriental Yuhong: Plans to invest 2.5 billion yuan in building projects for 400,000 tons per year of VAE emulsion and 100,000 tons per year of VAE powder

A great project that has seized the market opportunity.

Recently, Chuanwei Chemical has made a key breakthrough in the fundamental research on VAE (emulsion), developing a synthesis technique for high-molecular-weight VAE emulsions, which has enabled it to enter the markets for high-end building waterproof coatings and high-end adhesives. 　　VAE (emulsion) is a key product that enables Chuanwei Chemical Industry Company to transition toward the field of fine chemicals and new materials; it has received the “Green Ten Rings” certification for 18 consecutive years. However, in recent years, other world-leading VAE (emulsion) manufacturers have intensified their efforts in developing high-tech new products characterized by a \"high molecular weight\" as their inherent structural feature, along with high breaking strength and high elongation rates; as a result, they have created, expanded, and seized the high-end building waterproofing and adhesive markets. 　　The R&D personnel at Chuanwei Chemical’s VAE (emulsion) team operate under a \"project leader\" system: doctors and experts take charge of the research, small teams carry out exploratory work in various directions, while chemists and physicists work together to develop analysis and characterization methods. The testing platforms provided by university-industry partnerships offer support, and efforts are concentrated on addressing the key factors. Hundreds of experiments were conducted using the single-factor variation method on 15 different factors, with repeated verification carried out. Finally, a series of challenges, including the identification of the key factors affecting the quality of VAE (emulsion) products, were overcome, and new polymerization techniques were developed to increase the molecular weight of VAE (emulsion). The pilot-scale samples developed using this technology not only increase the molecular weight by over 100%, but also offer higher safety compared to current manufacturing processes, making them suitable for industrial-scale implementation. 　　The new VAE (emulsion) products developed using this technology, featuring high bonding strength and high elongation at break, hold great application prospects and excellent market potential. Next, Chuanwei Chemical will accelerate the industrial application of this technology as well as the evaluation of the performance of new products, striving to bring VAE (emulsion) products to world-class standards at an early date.
