China's synthetic rubber industry finds its transformation goal


In the face of the severe external situation, the transformation and upgrading of the synthetic rubber industry is imminent, and the breakthrough lies in R&D and production of green and high-end products.

In October last year, the China Rubber Industry Association formally issued the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Rubber Industry”. It comprehensively summarized the achievements and experience of the rubber industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period and revolved around “Made in China 2025” and “ The overall goal of China's rubber industry development strategy study.


Strong demand for high-end products According to the information released by the Customs, from January to October 2015, China imported 1,463,900 tons of synthetic rubber, an increase of 17.9% year-on-year. And these imported synthetic rubbers are mainly environmentally friendly products that cannot be produced domestically or whose output cannot meet market demand.

China is the world’s top producer and seller of motor vehicles.

According to the latest industry statistics released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first half of 2015 alone, China's auto production and sales completed 12.095 million vehicles and 11.853 million vehicles respectively, which was a year-on-year increase of 2.6% and 1.4% respectively.

Take Shanghai Santana as an example. Excluding tires, about 46 kg of synthetic rubber products are needed on each vehicle. According to the statistics of China's annual automobile production capacity, the demand for this part of synthetic rubber products alone exceeds one million tons.

“But one of the main indicators of these synthetic rubber products is to be green and not harmful to humans. In particular, due to the lack of environmental protection technology, such synthetic rubber and its products are mainly imported.” Senior Engineer, PetroChina Research Institute of Petroleum and Petrochemicals Xu Dianhong told the media.

"In order to better promote the transformation and development of China's synthetic rubber industry, under the leadership of the government and with the support of the media, relevant industry associations and enterprises in China have adopted large-scale public welfare activities to guide people to change their consumption concepts and establish a green environment. The concept of consumption has jointly promoted the transformation and upgrading of synthetic rubber production and processing companies, said Zhang Yiheng, a professor at Qingdao University of Science and Technology.


Environmental consciousness <br> <br> It is understood that, in June 2015, held the first China domestic green tire safety week by the China Rubber Industry Association. In this large-scale public welfare activity, domestic and foreign major tire manufacturing enterprises and raw material production enterprises initiated the "China Green Tire Safety Week Activity Initiative".

The China Rubber Industry Association hopes to carry out this activity for a long period of time to popularize the idea of ​​green tires and tire safety knowledge in the whole society, promote the use of green tires for automobile manufacturers and consumers, and promote the development of green tires in China at the consumer level; promote China's tire labels. The implementation process of the system is to achieve the goal of establishing a green tire threshold in the future. At the same time, it will attract relevant government departments to pay attention to the development of China's green tires and promote the upgrading of China's tire industry.

With the implementation of the new environmental protection law, the synthetic rubber chemicals industry will strengthen end-of-pipe control through the introduction of new technologies to achieve compliance with emissions standards.

In order to solve the problem of high-salt wastewater treatment, major auxiliaries manufacturers have introduced MVR desalination technology, used energy-saving equipment to achieve brine separation, and the recycling rate of wastewater reached 90%; promoted cleaner production technologies, and promoted the oxygen oxidation process of multiple accelerator products Chemical and environmental protection benefits are significant, promoting the clean production of rubber chemicals and the development of green chemicals.

After many years of scientific and technological innovation and exploration, Yanggu Huatai replaced organic acid-alkali method with the traditional method of solvent so that the cleaner M production technology has reached the leading domestic level, with an annual production capacity of 15,000 tons, and zero discharge of wastewater; oxygen oxidation method Synthetic promoter NS clean production technology has reached the international advanced level, with an annual production capacity of 5,000 tons. It is the world's first original creation.

Innovation first <br> <br> recent years, as environmental awareness, nitrile rubber processing enterprises at home and abroad, especially in European and American countries market demand for environmentally friendly nitrile rubber products increasingly urgent.

In 2007, the European Union's “Regulations on Chemicals Registration, Evaluation, Licensing, and Present Value Regulations” was fully implemented. One of the key points of the regulation is to list and limit substances of very high concern.

On December 17, 2012, clear requirements were placed around the official concentration of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates in products.

In 2011, China's Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Customs released the "China's Catalogue of Toxic Chemicals for Strict Restrictions on Imports and Exports" for the first time, listing nonylphenol as a prohibited import and export substance.

CNPC Lanzhou Petrochemical Research Center and Lanzhou Petrochemical Synthetic Rubber Factory started development of the environmentally friendly nitrile rubber that meets European Union requirements, pioneered the development of environmentally friendly nitrile rubber core production technology with independent intellectual property rights, and developed NBR3305E successively. NBR2907E and other series of environmentally friendly nitrile rubber products.

From January to November 2015, CNPC's new product line of environmentally friendly nitrile rubber products exceeded 35,000 tons, accounting for more than 70% of its production capacity.

In the extreme downturn of the rubber market and the loss of all major rubber types, CNPC's nitrile rubber remained profitable, with production and sales ranking first in the country.

Under the leadership of China National Petroleum Corporation, domestic nitrile rubber manufacturers have entered the green environmental protection field through independent innovation.
