Fu Xiangsheng: thinking about the innovation and development of new chemical

New chemical materials have always been an important embodiment of a country's chemical technology level due to their lighter quality, better performance and stronger functionality, especially higher technical requirements and technical content. In addition, they have excellent characteristics that traditional chemical materials and metal materials do not have. They have become an indispensable supporting part of the world's high-end manufacturing industry Materials are also the first choice for key development and strategic transformation of developed countries and transnational corporations. On November 4, at the 2019 (second) annual meeting of financial innovation alliance of petroleum and chemical industry and the summit of innovation, development and investment and financing of new chemical material industry hosted by China chemical industry news agency and financial innovation alliance of petroleum and chemical industry, Fu Xiangsheng, vice president of China Petroleum and chemical Industry Federation, comprehensively and deeply analyzed the innovation and development of new chemical material industry. This edition is published in full today to inspire the high quality development of the petroleum and chemical industry. Current situation of new chemical materials development. Five major engineering plastics are polyamide, POM, polycarbonate, PBT, polyphenylene ether, and five major special engineering plastics are polyphenylene sulfide, polyimide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, and peek.

With the progress and innovation of technology, especially the types of special engineering plastics have been expanded in recent years, and their varieties and properties have been continuously enhanced. The lightweight of automobiles, especially the development of new energy vehicles and driverless technology; the large-scale civil airliner, such as A380, dreamland 787 and our c929; deep sea ocean, such as electronic information, human space exploration and spacewalk, stealth technology of national defense and military industry, aircraft carrier submarine, are inseparable from new chemical materials. The developed countries such as the United States, Europe and Japan, and the top 50 multinational chemical companies in the world all focus on the development of new chemical materials. Many well-known multinational companies regard new chemical materials as the first choice for transformation. At the same time, they increase innovation in the field of new chemical materials and accelerate the high-performance of traditional chemical materials. In recent decades, they have basically completed the transformation from traditional chemical industry to new chemical materials. The most typical is the development of Dow and DuPont, as well as the merger and re split in recent years. The new Dow, which was split on April 1 this year, is positioned as a new material company with an annual sales volume of about 48 billion US dollars. DuPont, founded in 217, realized the transformation from chemical company to material science in the last century. The new DuPont, which was split on June 1, is positioned as a special chemical, and its leading products also belong to the field of new materials as we call it, with an annual sales volume of about 25 billion US dollars.

The focus of Mitsubishi Chemical Industry is also on the development of new chemical materials. The first is the functional materials, including high-function films, engineering plastics, carbon fiber and its composite materials, lithium-ion battery materials, etc. Mitsui chemical's core business is also functional materials. Its metallocene polymerized LLDPE, HDPE and polyurethane materials are among the world's leading levels. Mitsui chemical also focuses on the field of new materials in the future. Multinational companies have all positioned their development in China in the field of new materials. Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Asahi, akoma, and Longsheng have all built and put into production new material projects in China. The most typical case is BASF and ExxonMobil announced to invest 10 billion US dollars each to build new material bases in Zhanjiang and Daya Bay respectively. As a big manufacturing country, China has a large market demand for new chemical materials. However, the output and types of new chemical materials in China are difficult to meet the actual demand of high-end manufacturing industry. New chemical materials have always been a short board and weak point in China's chemical industry. According to the research results of the Ministry of industry and information technology on more than 130 key basic materials in China, 32% of them are blank in China and 52% of them are imported. Some materials are monopolized by some companies, such as Dongli and Dili, which monopolize the market of high-performance fiber and its composite materials.

DuPont and Dili control 90% of the global production capacity of aramid, and Xinyue, wack, Sumitomo and Mitsubishi occupy 80% of the international market of semiconductor silicon materials. According to the statistics of the special committee for new materials, the output of new chemical materials in China is about 22.1 million tons in 2018, with a self-sufficiency rate of about 65%. Among them, the output of engineering plastics is 3.06 million tons, the consumption is 5.48 million tons, and the self-sufficiency rate is about 55.9%; the output of functional membrane materials is about 5 billion square meters, the consumption is more than 6 billion square meters, and the self-sufficiency rate is more than 80%; the consumption of electronic chemicals is about 900000 tons, and the share of domestic products is low, such as photoresist, high polymer packaging materials and other parts of the product import dependency is more than 80%, especially the high-end products It's all imported. The challenge of innovation and development of new chemical materials. After the reform and opening up, with the development of electronic information, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other high-end manufacturing industries, each five-year development plan and annual plan of the chemical industry focuses on new chemical materials. During this period, many engineering plastics, special engineering plastics, as well as fluorosilicone materials, polyurethane materials, aramid and carbon fiber materials, membrane materials, etc. have made technological breakthroughs to achieve the goal of compliance It has been widely used in civil field. In particular, entering many "third tier" enterprises, we have realized the new chemical material production.
