Recently, the Ningbo Ecology and Environment Bureau in Zhejiang Province issued a notice announcing that it has accepted the environmental impact assessment documents 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 details are as follows: Project name: Construction of a 100,000-ton/year specialty epoxy resin plant (including 100,000 tons of epichlorohydrin). Contractor: Zhejiang Huanyang Xinghua New Materials Co., Ltd. Location of construction: Within the existing factory complex of Huanyang Xinghua in the Qingzhi Chemical Industry Zone, Ningbo Economic and Technological Development Zone, Zhejiang Province. Nature of the project: Expansion. Total investment amount: 716.32 million yuan. It is reported that this project aims to meet the demand for specialty epoxy resins in high-end application areas such as electronic packaging and aerospace, as well as to expand the company’s existing industrial chain. By building upon its current epoxy resin production capabilities, the company plans to carry out further processing downstream; this will involve constructing a new plant capable of producing 100,000 tons of epichlorohydrin per year using the glycerol method, as well as a new plant capable of producing 100,000 tons of specialty epoxy resins per year. These specialty epoxy resins will fall into 8 major categories: high-purity, low-chlorine epoxy resins based on bisphenol A, semi-solid epoxy resins based on bisphenol A, high-solid epoxy resins based on bisphenol A, flame-retardant resin series, epoxy acrylate resin series, high-purity HBPA epoxy resins and active epoxy diluents, phenolic resins and their electronic-grade variants, and curing agents (polyamides). In total, there will be 20 production lines.
