Ningbo Conch New Materials’ “60,000-ton annual production of epoxy derivatives project” has successfully entered the trial production phase

Thread Content

Recently, Ningbo Conch New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.’s project for producing 60,000 tons of epoxy derivatives per year has successfully produced qualified products, marking the official start of the trial production phase. This project serves both as a key initiative by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Anhui Province to encourage provincial state-owned enterprises in fostering new productive forces and developing emerging industries, and as a crucial step in Conch Group’s high-quality development strategy centered on “one foundation and five industries”. It signifies that the company has successfully entered the entirely new fields of ethylene carbonate and surfactants, further optimizing its chemical industry chain layout and diversifying its product portfolio. This move injects strong momentum into the Group’s industrial diversification and high-quality growth, while also laying a solid foundation for the company’s future large-scale production and market expansion. Ningbo Conch New Materials’ project for the annual production of 60,000 tons of epoxy derivatives includes 9 production lines, which are used to manufacture 18 types of fine chemical products. According to the project bidding and environmental impact assessment documents, the specific products and production capacities are as follows: I. Core products and production capacities Ethylene carbonate (EC) production capacity: 20,000 tons per year (accounting for 1/3 of the total production capacity). Uses: solvent for lithium battery electrolytes, intermediate in organic synthesis. Fat alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO) production capacity: 15,000 tons/year. Uses: non-ionic surfactant, used in detergents and emulsifiers. Heteroalcohol polyoxyethylene ether Production capacity: 4,000 tons/year Uses: low-foam surfactant, industrial cleaning, coatings. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) production capacity: 4,500 tons/year. Uses: humectant, dispersant, in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters: Production capacity: 1,500 tons/year. Uses: Emulsifiers, plasticizers, textile auxiliaries. Hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) production capacity: 2,000 tons/year. Uses: Cross-linking monomer for coatings, adhesives, and thermosetting resins. Fatty amine polyoxyethylene ether: Production capacity: 1,500 tons/year. Uses: Corrosion inhibitor, antistatic agent, pesticide emulsifier. Allyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. Production capacity: 3,000 tons/year. Uses: Polycarboxylate water-reducing agents, modified monomers. Other products: phenoxyl ether, block polyether, polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, alkynediol polyoxyethylene ether, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate, methoxypolyethylene glycol methacrylate, diethanolamide of coconut oil acid, etc. Ningbo Conch New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2019. Its main business involves the production and sales of polyether monomer series, alcohol amine product series, as well as new types of fine chemical materials derived from epoxies.
