Localization of adiponitrile: the road is hard!

The supply of adiponitrile is in short supply, and the downstream units are running at a low level for a long time

As the key raw material of nylon 66, adiponitrile is very important for the development of China's nylon 66 indust.

Through technological monopoly, foreign companies firmly hold the "lifeblood" of the domestic adiponitrile industry chain

"If the upstream raw materials are not guaranteed, the scale of downstream nylon 66 will be restricted, and the development of the application market will be limited everywhe.

The market demand for nylon 66 polymer will continue to grow in the next few years, according to estimates by Wood Mackenzie, a well-known consulting fi.

However, behind the growing demand is a huge gap in the supply of adiponitrile, and the still fragile "sense of security" of domestic nylon 66 industry enterpris.

"The lack of domestic adiponitrile supply has made the 'adiponitrile-hexamethylene diamine-nylon 66' industry chain highly monopolized by oligopolis.

Li Wenjun told reporters: "If raw materials are controlled by others, such as hunger marketing, the downstream market demand will not be fully satisfi.

According to Dong Liqin, chairman of Hangzhou Dikai Industrial Cloth .

Liang Junxiang, chairman of Tianchen Qixiang New Materials .

Product pricing is controlled by others, and adiponitrile technology is in urgent need of localization

"Hexamethylene diamine is an important raw material for the synthesis of nylon 66, accounting for about half of the material, and it is made by hydrogenation of adiponitrile, which greatly affects the cost of nylon 66 due to price fluctuations of adiponitri.

"For example, in 2021, INVISTA and Ascend encountered force majeure in turn, making the market price of nylon 66 more than doubled under the extreme shortage of supply, from less than 20,000 yuan / ton to 50,000 yuan / ton in a very short period of ti.

"Stable supply of raw materials is the common wish of downstream enterpris.

At the same time, the editor also saw the unremitting efforts made by domestic enterprises to realize the localization of adiponitrile technolo.

Adiponitrile supply shortage limits downstream nylon 66 demand! Future market growth is expected

In the past few years, due to the poor supply of adiponitrile, the development of China's nylon 66 industry has been curb.

Seeing the potential of the Chinese market, multinational giants are also constantly deploying in Chi.

Domestic enterprises are also accelerating the construction of adiponitrile projec.

At the same time, there are also "market upstarts" including Bozun Investment Group, Fujian Yongrong, Qicai Chemical, Hebei Fuhai Runze Chemical and other "market upstarts" have deployed adiponitrile indust.

On April 22, Bozun Investment Group .

, L.

signed a contract with the Ningdong Base Management Committee, e.

, and plans to invest 10 billion yuan in the construction of adiponitrile and downstream high-end new material projects in Ningdong, Ningx.

On February 23, at the construction site of the second phase of caprolactam project of Fujian Yongrong Technology .

, L.

, the adiponitrile-PA66 integration project of Yongrong Holding Group has been launched, with a total investment of 15 billion, and it is planned to be completed in 202

On February 16, Qicai Chemical disclosed its reply to the letter of concern from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and at the same time announced the product plan for the first phase of its high-end chemical new material industry chain project, including 20,000 tons/year of adiponitri.

The company uses its own technology to only launch 20,000 tons/year of adiponitrile, which is mainly produced on the same line with succinonitri.

According to the market situation, the production capacity utilization rate is timely adjust.

As an auxiliary product of succinonitrile, it also greatly reduces the proje.

The investment risk is mainly for export in the early stage, and it will be used for hydrogenation to produce hexamethylenediamine in the later sta.

At the same time, Hebei Fuhai Runze Chemical .

, L.

is also planning to invest in a new adiponitrile proje.

On February 14, the People's Government of Caofeidian District, Tangshan made a public announcement on the environmental impact assessment of Hebei Fuhai Runze Chemical .

, L.

's 300,000 tons/year adiponitrile proje.

It is expected that the domestic production scale of adiponitrile will usher in explosive growth in the next few yea.

At that time, we will no longer be constrained by the supply of foreign products; at the same time, we also hope that more companies like Huafeng Group and Bozun can achieve th.

The adiponitrile technology is independently developed and commercialized to create a "Chinese brand" in the adiponitrile indust.
