Donghua Tianye's PBAT Phase I successfully commenced

On June 20, 2022, Sinochem Donghua Tianye New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Donghua Tianye") successfully started up the first phase (100kt/year) of the 500kt/year PBAT project, and yielded excellent quality PBAT products with the performance indicators better than the national standards in an all-round way.

The first phase of the project is an annual output of 100,000 tons of PBAT. It adopts the "high-efficiency titanium catalyst for PBAT synthesis" jointly developed with Xinjiang Tianye Group and has independent intellectual property rights. PTA, adipic acid and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) are used as the raw materials for the production of PBAT.

PBAT is a fully biodegradable plastic and is included in the catalogue of encouraged industries in the western region. It can be widely used in plastic products such as packaging materials, dining utensils, sanitary products, and mulch films. PBAT can also be used in medical materials, optoelectronic chemistry, fine chemicals and other fields through modification, which can effectively alleviate the "white pollution" problem.
