Issue 15/2014 - Small Products Magnificent

Small products are bold

The annual domestic demand is only 2400 tons, but it dares to expand the scale of the plant to 3600 tons / year, and 2-vinylpyridine, a fine chemical intermediate with a very small market scale, shows the domineering spirit
of dominating the world.

As the largest domestic producer, Dongfang Chemical did not stop in front of the low-price promotion strategy of foreign merchants, but relied on technological innovation to expand the production capacity of 1000 tons / year to 3600 tons / year
in one fell swoop.
Dongfang Chemical's capacity expansion is not simply capacity expansion, but through innovative processes, improve product quality, reduce costs, and create competitive products
.

This means that 2-vinylpyridine must not only occupy the domestic market, but also participate in the competition in the international market and export the products abroad
.
Technology gives products competitiveness
.
Today, 50 tons of products have been successfully exported to the United States, and 2-vinylpyridine has begun its international journey
.

In the field of chemical intermediates, there are countless varieties of fine chemical intermediates such as 2-vinylpyridine, and one of their common characteristics is that the market size is small but the role is very large, and it undertakes the upstream and downstream
of chemical production from raw materials to products.
The technical content and market price of fine chemical intermediates are often very high, and many varieties of domestic can not be independently produced or can not meet the demand, subject to foreign countries, which also makes the production of many important domestic downstream products in the key intermediates links are "stuck" neck
.
To break through this bottleneck, we must work innovative technology, so that those key intermediates that cannot be produced independently from scratch, from small to large, so that small products show their boldness
