It is understood that propionic acid is one of the important basic raw materials and is widely used in industries such as food additives, feed preservatives, pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticides and spices. With the breakthrough of key production processes, my country's propionic acid industry has played a pivotal role in the world, providing China and the world with better quality and cheaper products.
Propionic acid is one of the important basic raw materials, widely used in food additives, feed preservatives, pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticides and spices and other industries. Industry experts pointed out that the layout of Luxi Chemical's second phase of propionic acid will make it take the top spot in the global propionic acid industry in the next two years. In the future, the global propionic acid market may present a pattern of fierce competition between BASF and Luxi Chemical. Pakistan Nanjing company also has a plan to expand the production capacity of propionic acid with an annual output of 40,000 tons. However, under the current situation of poor downstream construction, enterprises still need to be cautious in expanding capacity.
