On January 20, the reporter learned from Jilin Petrochemical that in 2022, the company focused on "fist" products such as ethylene propylene rubber and ABS, and made great efforts to build original technology sources and star brands. 24 new brand products were included in the new material catalogue of the group company, and the cumulative production of new chemical materials exceeded 100,000 tons.

"Compared with traditional chemical materials, new chemical materials have the characteristics of light weight, excellent performance, strong functionality and high added value, mainly including high-performance synthetic resin and high-performance rubber materials. The development of new chemical materials industry plays an important supporting role in all fields of the national economy, especially in the fields of high technology and cutting-edge technology. " Lu Shu, a senior expert on new materials in Jilin Petrochemical, said.

Jilin Petrochemical has thoroughly implemented the work deployment of the group company, accelerated the transformation and upgrading, made great efforts to build a product giant, improved market competitiveness, and insisted on scientific and technological innovation to drive high-quality development. Set up a leading group and a special research team for the development of new energy and new materials business, and continue to develop high-end, serialized and customized new products and materials. In 2022, the new materials of ethylene-propylene rubber exceeded 60,000 tons for the first time, and the output of new ABS materials reached a record high.

Giving full play to the integrated synergy of "production, marketing, research and utilization", Jilin Petrochemical technicians successfully completed the production tasks of four new brand products such as ethylene-propylene rubber X-2034 and X-3042. Focusing on product index narrowing control, reducing quality differences between batches and other aspects, the product quality and production process control ability have been steadily improved, and the rate of excellent products has reached more than 90%. The ethylene-propylene rubber products have achieved stable and high yield and full production and sales throughout the year.

Keeping a close eye on the demand of market users, Jilin Petrochemical actively produces marketable new ABS materials, and has produced more than 40,000 tons of new ABS materials of seven brands, such as luggage plate materials, helmet materials and PC alloy materials, reaching the highest level in history. "We keep in touch with market users to understand their performance requirements for new material products, and' translate' the processing and application performance indicators of products into performance indicators such as impact and tensile strength corresponding to ABS resin one by one, and design different product formulas in a targeted manner to meet the needs of different market users." Liu Xiaoxia, chief of the production technology department of synthetic resin factory, said.

In the next step, Jilin Petrochemical will do a good job in the development layout and technical reserve of new materials, actively promote new material projects, continuously increase the proportion of new chemical materials, and strive to bring more than 20 new brand products to the market, with the annual output of new chemical materials exceeding 150,000 tons.
