    On September 3, Wanhua Chemical announced that the company's POE products with independent intellectual property rights have completed the pilot test


    .


    Independent property rights technology will realize industrialization

    The technical difficulty of POE lies in metallocene catalysts.
    POE manufacturers all have exclusive catalysts.
    Wanhua Chemical applied for the invention patent "An olefin polymerization catalyst, an olefin polymerization catalyst composition and a method for preparing polyolefin" in April 2020.
    Its independent The developed catalyst has high activity and good thermal stability, and is suitable for high-temperature solution polymerization to prepare polyolefins, especially polyethylene and ethylene/1-octene copolymers


    .


    In December 2019, Wanhua Chemical announced Wanhua Polyurethane Industry Chain Integration-Ethylene Phase II Project (referred to as Wanhua Ethylene Phase II), with a total investment of about 20 billion yuan and a total product of 3.
    3299 million tons per year, including polyolefins Elastomer (POE) 200,000 tons/year capacity


    .


    At present, Wanhua POE has completed the pilot test, and is at the forefront among the few domestic technology research enterprises.
    The POE pilot test products produced already have good performance, and it is expected to take the lead in realizing the mass production of POE in China

    Breaking through monopoly, my country increases POE research and development efforts

    Breaking through monopoly, my country increases POE research and development efforts

    Because foreign petrochemical companies with POE production technology have carried out patent protection for the catalysts required for production, and have strictly sealed the production process technology of high-carbon alpha olefins, which are important raw materials of POE, their transfer is restricted


    .


    In 2020, the global POE consumption has exceeded 1.
    2 million tons, and the production capacity has exceeded 1 million tons.
    The main suppliers are Dow, Mitsui, SNNC (SK and SABIC joint venture), LG, ExxonMobil and Borealis


    .


    At present, domestic scientific research institutions and enterprises are stepping up research and development, and it is expected that the POE production equipment with China's own intellectual property rights is expected to be completed during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period


    .


    On September 3, the Maoming Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment announced on its official website the acceptance announcement for the "Environmental Impact Report of the 1,000-ton/year Polyolefin Elastomer (POE) Pilot Project of Maoming Branch"

    The development of lightweight automobiles promotes the formation of a "new blue ocean"

    The development of lightweight automobiles promotes the formation of a "new blue ocean"

    The excellent performance of POE exceeds that of PVC, EVA, SBR, EMA and EPDM, making it widely used in the automotive industry, wire and cable sheathing, and plastic toughening agents
    .
    POE is mainly used to modify and toughen PP, PE and PA to make bumpers, fenders, steering wheels, pads, etc.
    in the automotive industry

    .

    China's auto industry is developing rapidly, and at the same time, the requirements for light weight are gradually increasing.
    The application of POE to the manufacture of auto parts can improve the performance of related parts, reduce weight, and save costs

    .
    At present, POE in China is mainly used in the automotive industry

    .
    At the same time, POE also has great advantages in the wire and cable industry and various copolymer modification, and the demand for POE in related fields is also increasing

    .

    At present, most of the blending modification in the field of foreign automobile bumpers has adopted POE elastomers, while only about 20% of domestic bumper materials use POE elastomers
    .
    The trend of lightweighting in China's automobile industry is becoming more and more obvious, and POE products will have broad development prospects in this field

    .

    High-end, differentiated and diversified development is the inevitable direction of POE's future market application!
