    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] A few days ago, Zhejiang Jiaao Environmental Protection (603822.
    SH) released an announcement on the pre-increasing results for the third quarter of 2021
    .
    In the third quarter of 2021, the company's net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies increased by approximately 33 million yuan to 38 million yuan over the same period last year, a year-on-year increase of 101.
    15%-116.
    47%
    .
    Up to now, Jiaao Environmental Protection currently has a production capacity of 206,000 tons of environmentally friendly plasticizers, including 115,000 tons of epoxy plasticizers.
    It is expected to add 20,000 tons of high-end benzene-free environmentally friendly plasticizers in 2021
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    Zhejiang Jiaao Environmental Protection is a large-scale manufacturer of environmentally friendly plasticizers in China, with multiple varieties of plasticizers such as epoxy soybean oil, epoxy fatty acid methyl ester, DOA, DOS, TOTM, and DOTP
    .
    The company's environmentally friendly plasticizers are mainly epoxy resins, which are mainly sold to the European Union, the United States, Japan and South Korea
    .
    In the first half of this year, driven by favorable downstream market demand, the output of Jiaao Environmental Protection Plasticizer increased by 38.
    8% over the same period last year; sales revenue increased by 112.
    05% over the same period last year
    .

     

    It is understood that plasticizers account for about 60% of the total consumption of plastic additives , and millions of tons are consumed every year
    .
    Among the commonly used plasticizers, phthalates are currently widely used, better-performing and inexpensive PVC plasticizers
    .
    In recent years, the safety issues related to phthalates have frequently attracted attention.
    The relevant laws and regulations prohibit benzene plasticizers in phases and batches, while looking for environmentally friendly alternatives, and the transformation of bio-based plasticizers has become the mainstream Trend
    .

     
    Plastic additives
    Recently, American agribusiness Cargill officially launched the first product of its full range of plastic/polyol production processes-Biovero bio-based plasticizer
    .
    The plasticizer can be used in various product manufacturing applications, such as flooring, clothing, wires, cables, and plastic films and sheets
    .
    The production of domestic and commercial flooring will be the first application of Biovero plasticizers
    .
    Floor manufacturers believe that plant-based products meet regulatory requirements and consumer demand for phthalate-free products, while also having higher performance
    .

     

    In September of this year, Cargill announced that it would acquire Arkema's epoxidized vegetable oil business.
    The acquisition will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021
    .
    Public information shows that these specialty oils or epoxides are key components of Cargill's existing portfolio of bio-based plasticizers and polyols
    .
    Through this acquisition, Cargill will fully control their production process, convert its commercial soybean oil into epoxides, and ultimately create bio-based plasticizers and polyols for use in the manufacture of shower curtain liners, tiles, carpets and furniture And other products
    .

     

    In addition, part of BASF's (BASF) plasticizer product portfolio is now also based on sustainable raw materials
    .
    BASF uses a large amount of bio-light oil or biogas extracted from organic waste or vegetable oil to replace fossil resources in its production.
    Its biomass-balanced plasticizer provides a smaller carbon footprint than traditional products
    .
    Both the mass balance method and the BMB plasticizer are certified according to the REDcert2 certification scheme
    .
    In addition, with the newly launched DINCH CcycledTM hexamer alcohol, BASF also provides a well-known non-phthalate plasticizer based on chemically recycled raw materials
    .

     

      At present, global plasticizer consumption maintains an annual growth rate of more than 5%, and it is a general trend for bio-based environmentally friendly plasticizers to replace traditional ortho-benzene plasticizers
    .
    In 2021, due to the recovery of crude oil prices, the cost of petroleum-based plasticizers will rise with the price of crude oil, and the cost advantages of vegetable oil-based environmentally friendly plasticizers will gradually appear
    .
    In addition, the green sustainable development trend is superimposed with the support of national policies.
    With its advantages of low volatility, low toxicity, high stability, and low cost, bio-based plasticizers have become more and more obvious in replacing petroleum-based plasticizers
    .
