Recently, a global research team in the chemical industry learned that the environmental impact assessment process for the renovation and improvement project of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride carried out by Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd. has begun; the public notification period for this assessment is from March 13 to March 26, 2026. According to the information provided, the developer stated that Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specialized in the research and development, production, sales, and after-sales service of photoinitiators. Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd. has now established production lines for a range of photoinitiators such as FMT, TPO, XBPO, and ITX. The products manufactured are tested by SGS, an international standards testing organization, and their technical specifications exceed those of similar foreign products; as a result, they can serve as substitutes for imported products and fill a gap in the domestic market. The company was established in March 2011, with a registered capital of 94.95 million yuan. Located in the Jingmen Chemical Recycling Industrial Park, covering an area of about 420 mu, it is specialized in the research, development, production, and sales of high-performance UV photoinitiators, cationic photopolymerization monomers, and oligomers. The company is currently an enterprise in the innovation layer of the \"New Third Board\" and a **high-tech enterprise; its stock abbreviation is Gurun Technology, and its stock code is 835595. 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoyl chloride is an important raw material in the photoinitiator industry, and can be used to produce photoinitiators such as TPO, MTPO, and XBPO. Furthermore, in many fields, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride has a wide range of applications. Used as a photosensitive initiator in photopolymer materials, unsaturated resin models, and recording materials ； Used as a stabilizer in plastics and paints to improve their light and heat resistance ； In medicine, it is used in the production of antibiotics and antihistamines. It can also be used to prepare coatings, dyes, molded products, adhesives, composite fiber materials, etc. Utilizing the existing production line with an annual capacity of 1,500 tons of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride, full-process automated control is added, along with new production equipment such as reaction vessels and heating/drying systems ； Update to high-efficiency energy-saving mixing equipment, phase out old devices such as traditional mixers, and expand it into a production line for 3,000 tons of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride. Upon completion of the construction, the production capacity of the original plant, which was 1,500 tons per year of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride, was increased to 3,000 tons per year. The total investment for this project is 10 million yuan, of which 600,000 yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for 6% of the total project investment. The existing and ongoing projects of the company include: the \"Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd. Project for an annual production capacity of 500 tons of the photoinitiator TPO-L\", the \"Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd. Project for an annual production capacity of 4,500 tons of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride (re-submitted for approval)\", and the \"Renovation Project for the co-production facility of phosphoryloxy-based photoinitiators at Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd.\" among others.

The main existing facilities include: the acyl chloride secondary production workshop (1,500 tons/year): with a land area of 2,360 square meters and a building area of 6,629.52 square meters. (Already built) Acyl chloride three-line production workshop (3,000-ton acyl chloride production line): covers an area of 1,700.6 square meters, with a building area of 6,802.4 square meters. (In construction) Aromatic ring workshop: covering an area of 42,000 square meters, with a building area of 4,200 square meters. (Pending construction) Oxide workshop: covering an area of 30,000 square meters, with a building area of 3,000 square meters. (Pending construction) Phosphide plant area (2,500 tons/year): covers an area of 859.52 square meters, with a building area of 1,275.51 square meters. (Already built) According to historical records, Hubei Gurun Technology Co., Ltd. invested in the construction of a production line with an annual capacity of 1,500 tons of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride in 2017; the total investment at that time was 40 million yuan.
