After staying in Didu for a few days, Yang Jie also went to Jinshan City to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the TPV plastic raw material factory jointly built by Huaxing Chemical Group and DSM of the Netherlands.

This TPV plastic raw material is a new type of green polymer material, with the high elasticity of traditional rubber and the thermoplastic processing performance of plastic materials, with low density, recyclable, easy processing, low energy consumption, long-term aging resistance and other excellent characteristics, the performance is very outstanding, with the great advantage of replacing traditional rubber.

Compared with the traditional thermosetting rubber, the processing and molding energy consumption of TPV body is reduced by about 75%, and the processing and production efficiency is 10 times that of traditional rubber, which is considered to be an important direction for the development of the rubber industry and a good way to solve the problem of traditional rubber processing and rubber recycling and reuse.

Huaxing Chemical Group Co., Ltd. also recruited a technical team in this area a few years ago to carry out research and development in this area, but TPV, as a new material, has special requirements for production equipment and needs to customize equipment. The process of producing TPV is also relatively complex, and general process technicians and skilled workers also need to go through 2-3 years of exploration and debugging to master the key aspects of relevant process technology in the case of professional technology.

This is still in the case that the company has mastered the formula and preparation process of TPV raw materials, but the formula and process of raw materials because many foreign companies have a large number of technical patents, and the core technical personnel recruited by Huaxing Chemical Group Company are technical experts who have worked in the chemical group company under Neon Mitsui Group Company for many years.

The technical team also reproduces the raw material formula and process in the laboratory, but if it is put into production, it is easy to be sued by Mitsui Group for infringement.

To this end, Huaxing Chemical Group Co., Ltd. also negotiated privately with the Dutch company DSM last year to introduce the technical patents of TPV materials in the hands of this company.

The DSM process is very similar to the material process of Mitsui Group, which is exactly what Huaxing Chemical Group needs.

However, DSM's TPV raw materials have always been produced in their own countries before, because the cost of this raw material is very high, in fact, it has not been able to open the market, and the transaction volume is very small.

This time, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. came to the door to buy technology, and established a joint venture with DSM to produce TPV raw materials in rabbit China, and DSM was also overjoyed.

After all, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. is a giant company, and the demand for this raw material in various businesses within the entire group company alone is very amazing, and taking this giant company can also expand its business volume in Rabbit's country.

Now all the business volume of DSM in China is only more than one billion US dollars, and this time Huaxing Chemical Group is also very bold to spend hundreds of millions of US dollars to obtain the right to use technology patents, and set up a joint venture company to build a large-scale TPV raw material plant with a production capacity of 300,000 tons.

The reason for the joint venture with DSM to build such a factory is that Huaxing Chemical Group wants to train a group of skilled process technicians and engineering technicians through this joint venture factory.

After more than a year of construction and equipment installation and commissioning, the TPV raw material plant has now officially started the trial production stage.

DSM is still very concerned about this aspect, and it also sent skilled engineers to help the factory with preliminary training very early, so the factory entered the trial operation stage soon after the equipment installation and commissioning was completed.

Yang Jie was also quite enthusiastic when he met with the headquarters staff of DSM this time, Huaxing Chemical Group and DSM have their own calculations, but there are many such things in the shopping mall, and Huaxing Chemical Group is still very kind in this matter.

If it is unscrupulous, Huaxing Chemical Group can go it alone in China after obtaining the license to use the technology patent, and it is impossible to pull DSM through the joint venture factory.

DSM's company is still very practical when cooperating with Huaxing Chemical Group, and the team of engineers sent over is still dedicated to training technicians, Yang Jie feels that this company is also worth dealing with for a long time, so he took this opportunity to meet with the senior management of DSM.

DSM's top management is a little cautious about Huaxing Chemical's design of such a high production capacity, and the stake in the joint venture plant is relatively small.

"Mr. Yang, isn't it a bit risky for you to design such a high production capacity?"

Payne, the chairman of DSM, asked.

"Mr. Payne, I am very optimistic about the market prospects of this material, although this material is still relatively expensive, but as long as the production scale comes up, the cost of this raw material will naturally come down. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "Now your company's domestic factory production capacity is only 20,000 tons, and now the world now adds up to less than 500,000 tons, and now the largest production capacity of the company is Eagle Sauce domestic AES company, with an output of 350,000 tons, now in this material market occupies the majority, the price is also controlled by this company, if our production capacity can not rise, the cost of this material can not go down." ”

"This high-performance material should be widely used in more fields, and the only way to achieve this goal is to increase production capacity. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "We will take the lead in using this material in automobiles, quickly replace the traditional thermosetting vulcanized rubber in the past, and strive to use more than 6 kilograms per car in a few years." ”

The high elasticity of TPV material traditional rubber and the thermoplastic processing performance of resin can use the existing resin processing equipment and processing methods to manufacture rubber products, and more importantly, it can be processed and recycled and reused like resin, which can greatly meet the requirements of low-energy processing, diversified processing, precision machining, and repeatable processing, which is much more efficient than the processing technology of traditional rubber, and the performance of such materials will not decline after processing five times after recycling, and the advantages are very obvious.

This material has the touch of rubber, and the processing method of plastic is similar to the use of common vulcanized special rubber, and it can be processed by low-cost thermoplastic molding method, which can achieve the same processing effect and economy as thermoplastic materials, and the clean waste generated by the molding process can be recycled.

This material is very advantageous, and now it is expensive, so Yang Jie naturally wants to continuously increase the production capacity of this material to reduce costs.
