How does the first domestic enterprise of caprolactone reach the top four

"In the past five years, without the care and support of governments and leaders at all levels, without the personalized and nanny service of the park, Juren can't have today! In the past two years, if we can't use the power of capital to leverage the financial innovation alliance of Petroleum and chemical industry, we can't challenge the limit, break the foreign technology monopoly and surpass ourselves. ”On November 3, Wang Hanyu, chairman of Hunan Juren chemical new material technology Co., Ltd., said with emotion. Founded in 2014, the company broke the monopoly of foreign ε - caprolactone raw materials for 40 years since 2016; in 2018, the research and application academician workstation of caprolactone and its derivatives was launched, and the pilot base of caprolactone and its derivatives technology development was settled; in 2019, the product supply was in short supply, the sales department focused on service, and the foreign trade department established In less than a year, the international market layout has begun to take shape, and won the praise of coating online coatingol.com from international multinational companies such as Germany bicker chemical, Japan Kansai chemical, Japan Nippon coatings, Zhanxin resin, BASF and domestic industry leading enterprises such as Wanhua chemical and Meirui new material. What supports them to play the brand of scientific and technological innovation, and what makes them break the magic spell of 40 years of foreign monopoly? The monopoly pattern is finally broken Series products. " Wang said.

The industrialization does not mean that it can replace import. Wang also tells the truth of what happened after industrialization. He said: "first, when the product is first put on the market, its quality is easy to turn yellow and its acid value is not up to standard. Second, the production cost is on the high side due to the unstable production capacity; third, the technology is still relatively "immature"; fourth, the investment in innovation and transformation funds is large and the period of effectiveness is long. " To solve the problems of yellowing, high acid value or unstable production capacity, there is no previous experience reference. Without any advantages in terms of technology and price, it is very difficult to grab a piece of share without its own unique characteristics and advantages, which is quite difficult. " Wang said. In February 2018, the company started the quality improvement and technical transformation project focusing on energy saving and consumption reduction of production units. Wang Hanyu said: "after dozens of tests, the company and the professional R & D team of Wuhan University of science and technology decided to increase the production capacity from 2000 t / A to 5000 t / A, so that the production process of caprolactone is becoming more mature, consumption is reduced, and product profitability is improved. Among them, the unit energy consumption is reduced by more than 15%, and the unit product cost is reduced by more than 2500 yuan year on year. "

After the implementation of the project, the problems of import substitution and 40 years of foreign monopoly have been solved, and the high-end application of the product by downstream Chinese enterprises in the new generation of biomedical materials, eco-environmental materials, major equipment and special materials for engineering has been greatly alleviated. Among them, the biodegradability of caprolactone series of products completely solves the world problem of white pollution accelerating "green". The company has applied for 10 patents of invention and utility model, and authorized 8 patents. It has become the leading unit of ε - caprolactone standard of national standards committee and 100 key product innovation project units of Hunan Province. At the end of 2018, the pilot test base of caprolactone and its derivatives technology development and the academician workstation led by Academician Wang Yuzhong of Chinese Academy of engineering were established in Juren company. First of all, after the production of caprolactone has reached the design capacity, we have pushed the product quality from qualified products to high-quality products. Through continuous analysis and experiments, the R & D team mastered the core technology of caprolactone polymerization to prepare polyols.

A complete improvement plan is proposed for the production process, equipment, raw and auxiliary materials control, production and transportation management of the existing polyols. The new product has been recognized and praised by the application customers. At the same time, the R & D team has successfully applied polyols to fully water-soluble transparent resin and emulsion in the laboratory, and has made a coating with good handle, high gloss and high strength. This research and development work has extended the scope of product application for the company. Wang Hanyu. Through long-term market research and improvement of the understanding of caprolactone polymerization, academician workstation also carried out the development of new products of low molecular weight polyols and completed the development and marketing of 45 series of new products in accordance with the changes of industrial policies in the domestic paint industry. Wang Hanyu said: "during the investigation, the company found that solventless leather generally has a hard handle, and caprolactone products can give leather a good handle, so it has developed a number of new polyether modified products, which are now in the market application stage.

The research and development of caprolactone polymer production technology has also been mature, and the products have been in the stage of market promotion. We have completed the research and development of caprolactone modified PTMEG high-speed iron material, and are now in the process of customer trial. " The academician workstation will also establish the key scientific research direction, promote the rapid and steady development of ε - caprolactone and its derivatives series products, lead and conquer the core technology of biodegradation, lead and support the ecological development of new material industry chain, help the cultivation of innovative scientific and technological talents, improve the innovation ability of enterprises, optimize and improve the innovation mechanism. The successful R & D of biodegradable materials has made more strong customer response. The second phase expansion and expansion project has not been put into production, and the market calls are busy. At present, the company's global market layout is advancing steadily. Contracts have been signed in Europe, Southeast Asia, the United States, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other countries or regions. Customers who have not cooperated at present are also actively advancing according to the intention of cooperation. Many customers have also arranged plans to visit the company and sign the first contract at the end of the year.

On October 29, the international procurement team of Japanese adhesive manufacturers frequently praised the company's site inspection. After several rounds of strict testing and repeated trials of the company's products, the manufacturer is actively promoting the first annual order of 3 million yuan, and the two sides have signed a strategic cooperation contract. Over the past year since the establishment of the Ministry of foreign trade, it has been reported that it has officially supplied the polyol products of SK company, a large state-owned enterprise in South Korea. The international procurement person in charge of the Japanese adhesive manufacturers has led a full investigation and signed a strategic cooperation contract. BASF Group Europe will visit the company and sign a strategic cooperation contract in the European market Wang Hanyu said: "Wanhua chemical is a globally operated new chemical materials group company, whose products are all over Europe, America, and other global markets.

After more than one year's trial, investigation, exchange and cooperation and consultation, Wanhua chemical has given a high evaluation to the company's product quality, product complementarity, scientific and technological innovation, achievement transformation, technical research, technical service, talent team, safety and environmental protection, mechanism system and comprehensive management. In October this year, the two sides also signed a strategic cooperation agreement. " The second phase of the company will invest 600 million yuan to build a new production unit with an annual output of 20000 tons of caprolactone, 10000 tons of caprolactone polyols and 5000 tons of polycaprolactone. In three years, academician workstation will develop 15 new products applied in special industries, complete 10 technical achievements transfer of polyol products, and apply for 10 patents for invention and utility model. In 2019, 3000 tons of polycaprolactone polyol production plant will be completed. After the project is completed and put into operation, the annual sales revenue will be 160 million yuan. "Wang has full confidence in the development prospect of the company.
