    Recently, Sunshine, the commercial director of INVISTA's polymer business, accepted an exclusive interview with "Automobile and Accessories" to share the application prospects of nylon 6,6 and the company's development plan in the lightweight field
    .

    1.
    The superiority of INVISTA nylon 6,6

    Sunshine said: INVISTA's more than 80 years of nylon 6,6 production experience, as well as the latest generation of proprietary technology for the production of adiponitrile based on butadiene, endow INVISTA with the ability to provide high-performance products, and to seize the development of lightweight The power of opportunity
    .
    In addition, INVISTA's adiponitrile technology also meets the requirements of lightweight materials to enhance life-cycle sustainability.
    Compared with other competing technologies, its production process brings less greenhouse gas emissions and lower unit product Energy consumption, while increasing product output, also improves process stability
    .

    2.
    The Asia Pacific R&D Center was established

    While focusing on nylon 6,6 products and technological leadership, Sunshine emphasized the importance of cooperative innovation in promoting lightweight materials and applications
    .
    At present, lightweight automotive composite materials are facing the challenge of integrated development, which needs to cover material development, component manufacturing, practical application and other aspects at the same time in the R&D process
    .

    In INVISTA, improving the competitiveness of its own products and accelerating cooperation and innovation between industrial chains have become a key step for the company's long-term layout in the lightweight field
    .
    INVISTA's Asia-Pacific R&D Center in Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone came into being
    .
    After more than a year of preparation, INVISTA Asia Pacific R&D Center is equipped with leading experimental equipment and an experienced R&D team.
    After the official operation, INVISTA will support INVISTA and partners to carry out material research and development, performance testing, product design , simulation analysis and other links, to provide a systematic and more complete solution for lightweight
    .

    From the establishment of the business development department many years ago, focusing on the application and expansion of nylon 6,6 in downstream fields such as automobiles, to the deployment of the R&D center in the Asia-Pacific region to support the strengthening of local R&D strength, INVISTA will accelerate the development of differentiated products through close cooperation.
    Let the entire value chain share the fruits of the wave of vehicle electrification
    .

    3.
    The growth point of nylon 6,6 is coming, and perfecting the value chain becomes the key

    The continuous expansion of the new energy vehicle market will also drive a new round of nylon 6,6 demand growth
    .
    According to INVISTA's estimates, the current annual demand for nylon 6,6 in China's local market is about 700,000 tons, and it is expected to become the world's largest nylon consumer
    .
    The strong demand also made INVISTA think about how to more efficiently support the upgrade direction in areas such as lightweight
    .

    The continuous layout of the nylon 6,6 value chain in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone has become a key strategic plan for INVISTA to ensure product development and speed up supply
    .
    This strategy covers both R&D and production.
    In addition to building the Asia-Pacific R&D center, it will also build an adiponitrile production base and increase the output of nylon 6,6 polymer
    .
    INVISTA believes that the layout of the nylon 6,6 value chain will bring sufficient local supply and provide cost-effective materials for the manufacturing and R&D of the automotive industry
    .

    After two years of construction, the INVISTA nylon chemical adiponitrile production base will be officially put into operation later in 2022, with an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons/year of adiponitrile, supporting the industry about 800,000 tons/year of nylon 6 ,6 slice production, enabling INVISTA to respond more quickly to the growing demand for nylon 6,6 products
    .
    With the stable supply of adiponitrile as a raw material, INVISTA will simultaneously increase its own nylon 6,6 polymer production capacity, and plans to support downstream engineering plastics manufacturing with 400,000 tons/year of nylon 6,6 polymer
    .
