On May 11, the optical-grade polymer new material production project, with a total investment of 2.5 billion yuan, was officially established in Pengzhou Economic Development Zone, Chengdu. The total investment in this project is 2.5 billion yuan, and it will be constructed in two phases. The project utilizes a production technology for continuous bulk polymerization independently developed by the team led by Academician Zhang Suojiang from the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its core product is optical-grade polymer material PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) particles, which, thanks to molecular structure and process optimization, achieve breakthrough performance levels of 99.99% optical purity and 93% light transmittance, thereby helping to advance Pengzhou’s new materials industry toward higher-value areas. The product will be widely used in fields such as liquid crystal displays, aviation transparent armor, and medical devices, thereby breaking market monopolies. 2.5 billion yuan!

The product will be widely used in fields such as liquid crystal displays, aviation transparent armor, and medical devices, thereby breaking market monopolies. Upon completion of the first phase of construction in Pengzhou Economic Development Zone, it is expected to generate an annual revenue of 800 million yuan and tax revenues of 40 million yuan, while creating 50 jobs. The second phase will expand into high-end manufacturing fields such as optical lenses and liquid crystal light guides, thereby enabling complementary industrial chains with the enterprises already present in the zone. ”A responsible official from Pengzhou Economic Development Zone said that the full operation of this project will further increase the added value of products, attract enterprises in related industries to gather there, help establish an optical materials industry cluster in Pengzhou, promote the development of new types of industrialization and the cultivation of innovative production capabilities in the area. It will also enable Pengzhou to make solid progress in the integrated development of technological innovation and industrial innovation, thereby injecting continuous momentum into the high-quality economic development of Pengzhou. As a key hub for the new materials industry in the western region, Pengzhou boasts comprehensive energy infrastructure and specialized park services. “In addition to its industrial advantages, Pengzhou also actively carries out initiatives aimed at facilitating development, by bringing policies directly to businesses. The services provided in the industrial parks are convenient and efficient, and assistance is also offered in matters such as coordinating employee commuter shuttles. We truly feel the ‘warmth of Pengzhou’. ”The project leader said that Pengzhou has created a favorable environment for businesses, allowing them to settle there with confidence to carry out research and development and expand their markets, while also giving them more confidence in the development of their businesses.
