Environmental Impact Assessment for Zhejiang Huanyang Xinghua New Materials Co., Ltd.’s 100,000 tons/year special epoxy resin production project (including 100,000 tons of epichlorohydrin)

Thread Content

Recently, the Ningbo Ecology and Environment Bureau issued a public notice regarding the acceptance of the environmental impact assessment report for Zhejiang Huanyang Xinghua New Materials Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 100,000 tons per year of special epoxy resins (including 100,000 tons of epichlorohydrin). The total investment for the project is 716.32 million yuan, which will be used to build a new epichlorohydrin production facility with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons using the glycerol method, as well as a new facility for producing special epoxy resins with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons (including 8 major product categories and a total of 20 production lines). The project uses the glycerol process to produce high-purity epichlorohydrin; approximately 8,500 tons of this are used to meet the raw material needs for its own resin production, while the remaining approximately 91,500 tons are sold on the market. The project is primarily aimed at meeting the demand for specialty epoxy resins in high-end application fields such as electronic packaging and aerospace. In October 2023, Zhejiang Huanyang Xinghua New Materials Co., Ltd. began constructing the \"Carbon Three Industry Chain Circular Economy Industrial Park Project\" on a newly acquired plot of 321,911.03 m2 in the Qingzhi Chemical Industry Zone, Beilun District, Ningbo. On November 23, 2023, it received approval from the Ningbo Ecology and Environment Bureau (Yong Huan Jian [2023] No. 33). The project mainly includes a 300,000-ton/year epichlorohydrin production facility (200,000 tons per year produced by the glycerol method and 100,000 tons per year by the direct oxidation method), a 100,000-ton/year electronic-grade epoxy resin production facility, a 200,000-ton/year 1,3-propanediol production facility, a 200,000-ton/year facility for the comprehensive utilization of brine, a 400,000-ton/year hydrogen peroxide production facility, as well as supporting auxiliary and environmental protection facilities. The project is currently under construction.
