150 million! The giant invested in a 3,000-ton fire-retardant coating project in Suzhou

Recently, Sika (China) Co.
, Ltd.
has an annual output of 10,000 tons of high-performance modified polyurethane structural adhesive, 3,000 tons of epoxy resin structural adhesive, 3,000 tons of water-based fireproof coating, 1,250 tons of reactive hot melt adhesive, and 2,500 tons of pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive technology transformation project is being publicized
before the environmental impact report is approved.

The total investment of the project is 150 million yuan, for the technical transformation project, the project plans to eliminate and reduce the existing single-component polyurethane adhesive 300 tons/year, two-component polyurethane adhesive 4000 tons/year, high-performance coatings 2000 tons/year, water reducing agent 10000 tons/year, water-based adhesive 750 tons/year, epoxy resin adhesive 400 tons/year, chassis coating 750 tons/year, rubber-based adhesive 300 tons/year, a total of 18,500 tons/
year of product production capacity is eliminated 。 Sika China plans to replace the same amount of products in the factory, with an annual output of 10,000 tons of high-performance modified polyurethane structural adhesive, 3,000 tons of epoxy resin structural adhesive, 3,000 tons of water-based fire-resistant coatings, 2,500 tons of pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive products, and upgrade the performance of 1,250 tons of reactive hot melt adhesive products
.

With the development of industry, the application market of coatings and adhesives is becoming more and more extensive, and the varieties are increasing, and the commonly used coatings and adhesives mainly include solvent-based, water-based and ontology
.
At present, the amount of solvent-based products is relatively large, generally using toluene, xylene, etc.
as solvents, these solvents will directly volatilize into the atmosphere during use to pollute the environment and endanger the health of workers, so the transformation of adhesives from solvent-based to water-based adhesives and ontology-based adhesives has become inevitable
.

Sika plans to produce ontology-type adhesives (including high-performance modified polyurethane structural adhesives, epoxy resin structural adhesives, reactive hot melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesives) and water-based fire-resistant coatings to better meet market and environmental protection requirements
.
