Baling Petrochemical Polycaprolactone Pilot Test Successfully

A few days ago, the pilot plant of polycaprolactone in the Refining Department of Baling Petrochemical was successfully started, marking the company's new step in the development and application of high-end biodegradable chemical materials
.
The successful development of this product will boost Baling Petrochemical to build an industrial chain of "cyclohexanone + caprolactone and its derivatives"
.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is ε-caprolactone.
As an important derivative of caprolactone, polycaprolactone is an excellent degradable green environmental protection material with good degradability, biocompatibility, With the advantages of shape memory characteristics and low temperature flexibility, it is widely used in orthopedic splints, medical radiation positioning films, degradable films, 3D printing, children's toys, color masterbatches, etc.
, and has a broad market prospect
.

Due to the high technical and capital barriers in the industry, there are few polycaprolactone companies in the world.
Among them, BASF of Germany, Perstorp of Sweden (Ingevity of the United States) and Daicel of Japan occupy more than 97% of the global market share
