Recently, the China Federation of Petroleum and Chemical Industry announced the results of the annual innovative product evaluation of new chemical materials. The photovoltaic-grade EVA resin independently developed by Silbang Petrochemical was successfully selected for the annual list with its international advanced innovation technology level and strong help in the new energy industry!
The selected products this time focused on making up for the shortcomings of the industrial chain and the high-end product. It is the first innovation breakthrough in China, which has high innovation and important market significance. After formal review, expert pre-evaluation and expert on-site evaluation, 15 products such as photovoltaic-grade EVA resin (V2825) of Jiangsu Silbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. were finally selected.
Photovoltaic-grade EVA resin is a new material made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer after processing. It is mainly used in the production of photovoltaic film. It is an indispensable packaging material for photovoltaic modules. It has the characteristics of high light transmittance, ultraviolet resistance, resistance to wet and heat yellowing, and can directly determine the product quality and service life of photovoltaic modules.
Under the background of the national "dual carbon", the demand for photovoltaic EVA resin continues to grow rapidly, and the average annual compound growth rate is expected to reach 28% in the next three years.
At present, there are only a few enterprises in China with the mass production capacity for photovoltaic-grade EVA resin, with import dependence remaining as high as 70%. While the foreign monopoly has caused domestic manufacturers to bear the high cost of raw materials, it is also subject to people in terms of delivery cycle and other aspects.
Taking the national strategy and market demand as the starting point, the Shenghong Group focuses on new energy, new materials and other national strategic emerging industries, and breaks through the core technology, to independently develop photovoltaic-grade EVA resin that can solve the bottleneck technology for China's photovoltaic industry, as a breakthrough for the strategic transformation of enterprises to new energy and new materials.
Through special technology, Sierbang Petrochemical, a subsidiary of Shenghong Group, has made a major breakthrough in the improvement of key indicators such as the crystal point and melting index for independently developed EVA photovoltaic material products. It has passed the identification of scientific and technological achievements of the China Federation of Petroleum and Chemical Industry. Its technical level has reached the international advanced level, and its the overall performance and quality can replace imported products, which has strongly broken the foreign monopoly and greatly alleviated the downstream market demand.
At present, the annual production capacity of Sierbang Petrochemical EVA has reached 300,000 tonnes. It accounts for 31% of the total domestic production capacity, of which photovoltaic-grade EVA production capacity exceeds 200,000 tonnes, accounting for 28.6% of the global photovoltaic-grade EVA production.
As an important part of Shenghong's world-class new energy new materials industry cluster, the company is planning to expand the EVA production capacity to 1 million tonnes/year, further replace imports, improve the self-sufficient rate, and provide a stable guarantee for the national clean energy transformation.
At present, Shenghong Group is relying on scientific and technological innovation, focusing on the forefront of the international industrial pattern, forward planning and a high-standard layout, and making the whole industrial chain bigger and stronger, while striving to build a high-tech industrial group with "strong basic raw material guarantee ability, world leading scientific research and innovation ability, and first-class new energy and new material supply capacity globally", creating a new ecosystem that runs through the innovation chain and industrial chain, contributing to Shenghong's strength in the national industrial "strong chain", "replenishment chain" and "extending chain".
