Wanhua Chemical Group Co.Ltd(600309) : on April 9, Wanhua Chemical Group Co.Ltd(600309) issued the announcement on foreign investment, which plans to build a high-performance new material integration and supporting project in Wanhua Chemical Group Co.Ltd(600309) Penglai Industrial Park through the holding subsidiary Wanhua Chemical Group Co.Ltd(600309) (Penglai) Co., Ltd., with a planned investment of 23.1 billion yuan to build 900000 T / a propane dehydrogenation, 500000 T / a polyether, 400000 T / a pochp, 300000 t / a polypropylene, 300000 t / a EO, 300000 t / a EOD Acrylic acid and ester (160000 T / a acrylic acid, 160000 T / a butyl acrylate, 20000 t / a octyl acrylate), 200000 t / a carbonate, 30000 T / a emollient, air separation and other devices and supporting utilities and auxiliary facilities are expected to be put into operation in June 2024.
Adiponitrile: China National Chemical Engineering Co.Ltd(601117) 3 on March 31, it was announced that the first batch of qualified products were successfully produced in the hexanediamine unit of Tianchen Qixiang nylon new material project (phase I), and the product quality reached the high-grade products. According to IHS, the global adiponitrile production capacity is concentrated in the United States, France and Japan. Adiponitrile is one of the most important raw materials of PA66, which is highly monopolized by overseas enterprises due to high technology and investment threshold. According to the PA nylon industry chain, in 2020, China imported 258000 tons of adiponitrile, consumed 288000 tons, and the actual output of civil PA66 was about 70000 tons. With the breakthrough of adiponitrile localization, it is expected that China will increase the output of adiponitrile by more than 650000 tons in 202223, far exceeding this forward export volume, which is expected to drive the decline of PA66 price, gradually expand the use scenario of PA66 and effectively improve the market scale of PA66.
