On April 14, Yangzi Petrochemical realized the industrial production of polypropylene resin PPH-Y40 (S2040) for non-woven fabric for the first time in the company's polypropylene plant, with a daily output of 700 tons. The product quality has reached the national quality standard. The product is mainly used in the production of high-softness and high-elasticity non-woven fabrics, which will help ease the tight supply situation in the non-woven market of medical protective clothing and masks outside China.

Non-woven special polypropylene resin is mainly used in the production of medical masks, protective clothing, disposable operating clothes, sheets, covers, liquid absorption pads and other medical protective supplies. Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus epidemic, the market demand for medical protective clothing, masks and other protective supplies has soared, which has also led to the short supply of non-woven polypropylene resin market.

To this end, in early April, in combination with the "100-day attack to create results" action, Yangzi Petrochemical decided to develop this new product, quickly put into production and create results. Although Yangzi Petrochemical Research Institute has technical reserves, in recent years, with the technological progress of the downstream, the technical indicators are more demanding. Because it is the first development, the institute does not have any production plan to refer to.

To this end, with the long-term accumulation of new product development technology reserves and experience advantages, Yangzi Petrochemical Research Institute and plastic factory in close cooperation, the establishment of research and development technology research team, focus on the key objectives, to carry out "100 days of hard work and create results" action. The research team put forward the slogan of "Work hard, work hard, and work fast for 100 days". They consulted a large number of documents, patents and other materials, including the public literature of foreign companies and the research literature of China, and analyzed and explored the development plan.

In April 7 to April 8, just two days, the research institute completed the non-woven polypropylene resin industrial development program. On April 9, the research team discussed and improved the program. At the same time, Yangzi Petrochemical special special, urgent, rapid coordination of the preparatory work for industrial production. Due to the hot market, the supply of auxiliaries for the production of non-woven polypropylene resin is also very popular, to this end, Yangtze Petrochemical through a variety of ways to contact the north of a auxiliaries production enterprises, the timely introduction of new auxiliaries, not only to ensure product quality, but also to lay the foundation for mass production. Because the new product is high, granulation is difficult. To this end, the plastic factory starts the granulator again, optimizes and adjusts the production process to ensure the product quality.

April 14, with bags of PH-Y40 (S2040) new products off the line, marking the successful realization of industrial production of non-woven polypropylene resin, the entire research and development process of PH-Y40 (S2040) only takes 7 days, This is also the company's history of special material development time shortest, the fastest a new product.

According to the feedback of market research, the current non-woven special polypropylene resin is about 2000 yuan/ton higher than ordinary polypropylene resin, and the price is still rising, the successful development of PPH-Y40 (S2040) not only won good social benefits for YangziPetrochemical, but also will obtain considerable economic benefits. It has also taken a solid step for the company to win the "double victory" of epidemic prevention and control and production and operation.
