On April 26, Sinochem International and the Shanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute) jointly established the "Sinochem-Shanghai Chemical Industry Composite Materials Joint Laboratory" on the 26th The center held an unveiling ceremony. This is another important move for Sinochem International to lay out the new materials industry. The two parties will use this as a platform to fully cooperate in the research and development of high-performance composite materials and jointly promote the development of China's advanced composite materials technology.
Dr. Chen Baoshu, Chief Technology Officer of Sinochem International, Chen Xinmin, General Manager of Sinochem International R & D Management Department, Zhai Jinguo, Deputy General Manager and Vice President of Shanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute, Dr. Luo Yong, Assistant General Manager of Shanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute, and Minister of Science and Technology Development attended the unveiling ceremony.
Advanced composite materials have the characteristics of light weight and high strength, and have obvious advantages in specific strength, fatigue resistance and designability. They can be widely used in the automotive, aerospace and other industries. The market has a bright future and is a key development of "Made in China 2025" Breakthrough. The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" National Science and Technology Innovation Plan proposes that carbon fiber and its composite materials be regarded as major projects for scientific and technological innovation.
Dr. Chen Baoshu said at the unveiling ceremony: "The completion of the joint laboratory is another important milestone for Sinochem International in scientific and technological innovation in the field of new materials. Advanced composite materials are the focus of high-tech strategic materials research and development, which is in line with Sinochem International's strategic development. Direction. Sinochem International will use this as an opportunity to expand cooperation with the Shanghai Chemical Industry Institute to build a mature platform and carry out all-round cooperation in project selection, industrialization process and joint application of major projects. "
Zhai Jinguo, deputy general manager and deputy dean of Shanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute, said: "It is of great significance to establish a joint laboratory of composite materials with Sinochem International. The two sides will jointly promote the technological development, achievement transformation and industrial application of carbon fiber and its cured resin and other related fields; Explore the collaborative innovation model of scientific research institutes and industrialization group technology joint research. Shanghai Chemical Industry Institute will make full use of technical resources and advantages, and work with Sinochem International to promote the industrialization and marketization of high-performance composite materials-related technologies as soon as possible. . "

At present, the first research and development project of the joint laboratory-the spray-free carbon fiber composite research and development project has been officially launched. Spray-free resin system is applied to continuous fiber composite materials, which has excellent spraying properties. The composite parts made can reach level 0 paint adhesion without any mechanical treatment, and can replace traditional polyester and ring. Thermosetting resins such as oxygen resins and polyurethanes are used in composite materials. This product will first be used in new energy vehicles, which can not only reduce the body weight, but also significantly reduce the application cost of composite materials and improve production efficiency.
In the future, the joint laboratory will also develop various types of high-performance lightweight composite products and technologies to serve the automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery and other industries. Sinochem International is the flagship company of the Sinochem Group ’s chemical industry in the Fortune Global 500. It is the first listed company on the capital market under Sinochem Group. It is an agrochemical, intermediate, new material, and polymer additive. , Large-scale state-owned holding companies with core competitiveness and international operations in fields such as natural rubber and natural rubber, with operations in more than 100 countries and regions around the world.
At present, Sinochem International has listed "new energy, new materials, and bio-industry" as its three strategic directions, and is fully transforming into "technology-driven innovative fine chemical enterprises". High-performance new materials are one of its key development directions. In addition to advanced composite materials, high-performance film materials, lithium battery materials, aramid, high-strength polyethylene, etc. are also the focus of Sinochem International's layout in the field of new materials.
Sinochem International Science and Technology Innovation Center, located in Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, has been focusing on in-depth research on new chemical materials since its establishment in 2017. Through the combination of open innovation and independent research and development, it has successively cooperated with Corning, DIC and other countries at home and abroad. The strategic partners have jointly created a key laboratory focusing on cutting-edge technology, completed a number of key breakthroughs in key research and development projects, and continuously promoted the technological development of the new materials industry.
