Announcement on Shandong’s 100,000 tons/year vinyl chlorocarbonate project 2026-03-06 14:34:19 Recently, the Binzhou Ecology and Environment Bureau issued an announcement regarding the acceptance of the environmental impact assessment report for Shandong Zhanhua Sunshine Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 100,000 tons/year vinyl chlorocarbonate project. Ethylene chlorocarbonate (CEC) is a key material for lithium battery electrolytes, and it is primarily used in the production of ethylene fluorocarbonate and vinyl carbonate, which are components of lithium battery electrolytes. Driven by the explosive growth of the new energy industry, there are broad market prospects available. Meanwhile, the market for chlorinated paraffin products has been shrinking. In line with the company’s overall strategic adjustments, Shandong Zhanhua Sunshine Chemical Co., Ltd. has focused its production efforts on ethylene chlorocarbonate in recent years. Once the 100,000 tons per year production facility for ethylene chlorocarbonate is built, it will help reduce the company’s operational burdens and create new sources of profit growth. Project Overview: Project Name: 100,000 tons/year Vinyl Chloroformate Project. Developer: Shandong Zhanhua Sunshine Chemical Co., Ltd. Location: Chemical Industry Park, Zhanhua Economic Development Zone, Binzhou City, Shandong Province – within the existing facility of Shandong Zhanhua Sunshine Chemical Co., Ltd. Nature of the project: Renovation. The main scope of the project involves constructing facilities in the existing two chlorinated paraffin production workshops within the plant. Other public and auxiliary facilities make use of the existing facilities in the plant area. Upon completion, the project will be able to achieve an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of ethylene chlorocarbonate. The project is planned to be built in two phases; the first phase involves converting Workshop 3, which was previously used for the production of chlorinated paraffins, into a facility capable of producing 50,000 tons per year of ethylene chlorocarbonate ； Phase 2 involves converting the original No. 2 workshop for chlorinated paraffins 52 into a facility for producing 50,000 tons per year of ethylene chlorocarbonate. Project investment: The total investment in the project is 50 million yuan. Land area: 1,530.5 m2 (approximately 2.298 mu). Industry category: 2614 – Manufacturing of organic chemical raw materials. Scale of construction: The main product; the production capacity for vinyl chlorocarbonate in Phase I is 50,000 tons per year ； The production capacity for vinyl chlorocarbonate in Phase 2 is 50,000 tons per year. Labor force allocation and working hours: The project will require an additional 40 employees. The annual operating days for the project are 330 days. Construction period: The construction period for Phase 1 is estimated to be 7 months, while that for Phase 2 is estimated to be 8 months.
