Chapter 1818 The Focus of New Materials Companies

Song Qingchen said: "Fangxia new materials' synthetic fiber products will focus on special synthetic fibers, in textile fibers and commonly used fibers, we mainly focus on investment and licensing, and in terms of special synthetic fibers, we will focus on the development of multi-functional synthetic fibers, carbon fibers, ultra-high strength polyethylene fibers, and synthetic fibers used in flexible printed circuit substrates used in the electronic field, in these aspects we have a certain technical preparation and accumulation." ”

In addition to being used in textiles, synthetic fibers are also very versatile, in addition to the famous carbon fiber, many special fibers are not inferior in importance. For example, there are many special synthetic fiber materials such as launch vehicles, spacecraft, space shuttles, space stations, and artificial satellites, such as spacesuits, ultra-low temperature superconducting insulating materials, bioengineering solidified enzyme carriers, various human medical materials, etc., all of which may use synthetic fibers.

For example, in the field of construction, many new building materials also use synthetic fibers, including short-cut asphalt carbon fiber reinforced concrete, substitute steel carbon fiber composite products, aromatic amide and carbon fiber extrusion materials for steel reinforcement, long-span cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges for steel cables, and high-performance fiber sheets for reinforcing and repairing concrete structures......

Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, once said that the future of mankind will be determined by new energy, the Internet and interstellar travel, and materials will determine these three.

In the field of new energy, whether it is the fission of nuclear power generation or the legendary fusion power generation, it is materials that are involved. In the field of solar energy, the key to silicon photovoltaic power generation is still materials, and in terms of energy storage, it is materials that play a decisive role.

The Internet seems to have little to do with materials, but breakthroughs in chip technology, whether it is a larger wafer or a more advanced biochip, are still inseparable from materials.

In terms of interstellar navigation, materials still determine the manufacturing and power of spacecraft, so it seems that there is some truth in saying that materials determine the future of mankind.

This shows the importance of developing materials technology.

Fangxia new materials are still far away from becoming a giant in the material industry, they are only a little breakthrough in the field of special coatings, even if they add Fangxia ceramics and Fangxia paper, it can only be said that there is some strength in ceramics and paper, but Fangxia ceramics and Fangxia paper's products are civilian products, although there are some special products, but it is still just starting, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

Fangxia Group's plan in the field of synthetic fibers is not intended to directly involve in large-scale synthetic fiber production, but it also plans to invest in some projects to ensure the supply of upstream raw materials. At present, Fangxia Group is involved in the construction of the petrochemical base in Northwest Province, and is cooperating with Tucker Oil and Petroleum Corporation on a large-scale synthetic fiber project, which is expected to introduce advanced polyester and acrylic production equipment to establish a synthetic fiber production base in Northwest Province. However, the project is basically led by Tucker Petrochemical, a subsidiary of Tucker Group, and Fangxia New Materials is only a participant, with only 20% of the equity, Tucker Petrochemical and Petroleum Corporation each hold 30% of the equity, and Northwest Petroleum Company also has 20% of the equity.

At present, Tucker Petrochemical is also negotiating with Pujiang Petrochemical to build a large-scale petrochemical project in Jingshan Chemical Industry Park, and it is very likely that a polypropylene and polyacrylonitrile project with an annual output of more than 200,000 tons will be launched in Jingshan Chemical Industry Park.

Tucker Petrochemical is a petrochemical enterprise owned by Tucker Oil, which has developed rapidly in recent years, mainly through investment, acquiring some petrochemical companies in Mexico, Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Korea, and making some investments in China. Especially taking advantage of the impact of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, it quickly entered this industry and has formed a certain scale.

However, the most important action of Tucker Petrochemical is not the acquisition of petrochemical enterprises, but the acquisition of petrochemical equipment manufacturing enterprises and the entry into the petrochemical equipment industry.

Fangxia Group is not ready to enter the petrochemical industry on a large scale, and they are ready to enter the coal chemical industry in combination with the domestic situation. However, their focus is on new materials, and they have chosen the direction of synthetic fibers.

Fangxia Group entered the synthetic fiber industry very early, at first Fangxia Paper tracked the cutting-edge products of the world's papermaking technology, and paid attention to the non-plant fiber papermaking technology, that is, the use of mineral fibers, metal fibers and synthetic fibers to make paper, among which synthetic fiber papermaking is the most widely used and the most promising prospects. At present, Fangxia Paper has begun to take shape in non-plant fiber papermaking, and has taken this opportunity to enter the field of synthetic fibers.

In recent years, some European and American production companies have gradually weakened the synthetic fiber business, and some manufacturers have even chosen to launch the field of synthetic fibers, such as BASF, which is considering selling the traditional nylon fiber business, focusing on the development of plastic and synthetic fiber raw materials and intermediates. Including DuPont, Honeywell, ICI and other well-known chemical giants, have withdrawn from the production of polyester fibers, the world's synthetic fiber production gradually shifted from Europe and the United States to Asia, South Korea, Japan and Taihu have become the world's main production areas of synthetic fibers, and China's synthetic fiber localization technology is also improving, the technical threshold has been greatly reduced, and a large amount of investment has poured into the field of synthetic fibers.

In comprehensive comparison, the production scale of domestic synthetic fibers will continue to expand in the future, and Tucker Petrochemical has already laid out in this regard, so Fangxia Group is not ready to invest in the production of ordinary large-scale synthetic fibers, and their key research and development direction will be partially differentiated and functionalized synthetic fibers, as well as high-performance synthetic fibers.

Differentiated fibers are actually substitutes and high imitation natural fibers, from substitution, imitation, high imitation to super imitation, that is, from the replacement of natural fibers, such as the early good shirt, to meet people's needs for clothing, but in terms of wearing comfort, the early chemical fiber clothing is not as good as cotton and other natural fiber products. After imitation, high imitation, to super imitation, now some synthetic fiber materials can even exceed the performance of natural fibers.

Fangxia New Materials has a laboratory, specializing in the study of synthetic fibers for clothing, this laboratory cooperates with Tucker Petrochemical, specializing in the study of synthetic fibers, the study of super-imitation synthetic fibers, a large number of multi-functional, multi-component, composite, mixed fiber fibers, fine, ultra-fine denier, four different hollow and different dyeing and other differentiated fibers, as well as antistatic, high water absorption, anti-pilling, flame retardant, conductive, far-infrared health care, ultraviolet shielding, fluorescence, fragrance, anti-fouling, breathable, At present, a variety of products have been developed for the functional fibers of waterproof lamps, and the differentiation rate of several projects under Tucker Petrochemical has reached more than 40%, reaching the world's advanced level.

In terms of differentiated fiber production, Fangxia New Materials mainly focuses on the research and development and production of high-performance fibers through cooperation with Tucker Petrochemical, which has the advantages of high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, low elongation, chemical resistance, impact resistance and light weight.

High-performance fibers mainly include high-strength polyethylene fibers, aramid fibers, that is, aromatic polyamide fibers and carbon fibers, and European and American countries are gradually withdrawing from the production of ordinary synthetic fibers at the same time, paying more attention to the research and development of high-performance fibers, and currently almost monopolizing the research and development technology and market of this piece.

Fangxia Group uses its own exclusive technology and materials, through a series of business operations and technology exchanges, currently in the field of carbon fiber and high-strength polyethylene fiber has mastered a part of the key technology, and has also made certain progress in aramid, Fangxia Group Pujiang New Materials Co., Ltd. has determined that one of the business priorities is to develop high-strength polyethylene fiber, Aramid and carbon fiber, another focus is on the selective development of modified fibers and synthetic fiber composite materials, the former represents the technical height of the industry, and the latter is the current market hotspot, the market is broad, including flexible circuit boards can be used in synthetic fibers, as well as a variety of waterproof, antifouling, antibacterial and other functions of synthetic fiber products for automobiles.

Bao Feiyang nodded and said: "Synthetic fibers are indeed promising, if you can eat the fibers thoroughly, Fangxia New Materials will have a chance to become a great company." ”

Song Qingchen nodded and said: "Chemical materials, the potential is indeed very large, but unfortunately our technical reserves are still relatively weak, and we are not likely to be like DuPont, Bayer, BASF and other chemical giants can eat all kinds of chemical materials, we want to catch up with the advanced level of the industry, we can only focus more, at present, in the synthetic fiber, our technical strength is the most powerful, so we have to focus on this piece, key breakthroughs." Of course ......"

Song Qingchen paused for a moment and said: "In other fields, such as synthetic plastics, synthetic rubber and other fields, we will also carry out some technology research and development, carry out technical reserves, and even enter related industries through cooperation......

Fangxia Group was the first to enter special ceramic coatings, high-performance anti-corrosion, high-temperature resistant ceramic coatings, and then they focused on the development of some special ceramic materials, as well as synthetic coatings. At present, in the area of ceramic materials and coatings, it is mainly produced in eastern Guangdong, and there is a synthetic coating factory in the petrochemical base in Northwest Province, and the production base in Pujiang will also produce coatings.

According to the plan of Fangxia New Materials Company, in the future, Guangdong East will focus on the development and production of special ceramic coatings and ceramic materials, the Northwest Province base will mainly develop and produce synthetic coatings, and the Pujiang base will mainly develop and produce synthetic fiber materials. The three bases have their own focus, but in production, there will be some duplication, for example, Pujiang will definitely have a synthetic coating project.
