The total production capacity reaches 80,000 tons/year!

Recently, Anhui Jinhe Industrial Co.
, Ltd.
stated on the investor interaction platform: The second phase project of thionyl chloride implemented by Anhui Jinxuan Technology Co.
, Ltd.
, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, was successfully completed and put into production, and it was successfully driven in one operation, producing qualified products.

.

After the second phase of Jinxuan Technology's thionyl chloride project was successfully put into operation, the overall production capacity reached 80,000 tons per year, which fully met the company's demand for key raw materials for sucralose products
.
In the future, the company will actively explore emerging application fields and industries downstream of thionyl chloride
.

New areas of demand for thionyl chloride

Thionyl chloride is often used as a reaction raw material to synthesize various chemicals
.
Thionyl chloride, also known as thionyl chloride, thionyl chloride, etc.
, is mainly used in traditional fields such as medicine, pesticides, and dyes.
Its application in artificial sweeteners and new electrolytes for lithium batteries is a future demand.
growth point
.

The thionyl chloride policy restricts capacity expansion, and emerging demand such as sweeteners is expected to increase
.
Thionyl chloride is highly corrosive, highly irritating and toxic, and is harmful to the air and soil to a certain extent.
It is a high environmental risk product, and the supply side is generally tight
.

The total demand for thionyl chloride is nearly one million tons

According to the "2021-2025 Global Sulfonyl Chloride Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Regional Research Report" released by Xinsijie Industry Research Center, from 2015 to 2020, the annual compound growth rate of the global thionyl chloride market is 1.
6%
.
In 2020, the market size is about 1.
16 billion yuan, corresponding to a global demand of about 600,000 tons
.
Assuming that the demand for thionyl chloride in traditional fields such as medicine, dyes, and pesticides remains unchanged, and the demand for new electrolytes lithium bisfluorosulfonimide and sucralose increases as described above, by 2025, it is expected that chlorine The total demand for sulfoxide can reach 772,000 tons, with an annual compound growth rate of 6.
5%
.

The production capacity of thionyl chloride in China is about 510,000 tons per year, the consumption is about 350,000 tons per year, and the capacity utilization rate is about 69%.
At present, the domestic thionyl chloride has overcapacity, and the self-sufficiency rate is about 100%
.

Major producers of thionyl chloride

Triumph New Materials is the world's largest producer of thionyl chloride
.
Triumph New Materials currently has a production capacity of 150,000 tons/year
.
As of the end of June 2022, Triumph New Materials' 200,000-ton thionyl chloride industry chain has been upgraded, 20,000 tons of military aramid polymer monomers, and 1,000-ton high-performance engineering plastic PEKK projects have been completed
.
Some supporting facilities are under construction and some equipment is being installed
.
Triumph New Materials stated on the investor interaction platform in June that the company's battery-grade thionyl chloride has been supplied to some customers in the battery field
.

Shilong Industrial produces thionyl chloride mainly for the timely consumption of chlorine by-products generated in its chlor-alkali industry
.
The production capacity is 50,000 tons/year, and the technical transformation will start in March 2022, but the company stated that this technical transformation project will not have any major changes to the business fundamentals of thionyl chloride products
.

In addition to China, the production enterprises of thionyl chloride are also distributed in Germany, India, the United States and Switzerland and other countries, mainly Germany's Lanxess, Switzerland's SF-Chem and India's Transpek
.
China's production capacity accounts for about half of the world's production capacity
