Introduction
As an important chemical product, Adipic Acid(AA) has a wide range of uses. Adipic acid is mainly used to produce polyurethane and PA66, etc., and its importance in the chemical industry needs no explanation.
Ningbo Nuobai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd is deeply involved in the Adipic Acid(AA) market in China, and has witnessed the dependence on imports due to the lack of domestic production capacity in the past few years, to the dramatic rise of Adipic Acid(AA) exports in recent years.
Product Profile
Adipic acid, abbreviated as AA, also known as fatty acid, is an important organic dibasic acid, capable of salt formation, esterification, amidation, etc., and condensation with diamines or diols to form polymers, etc. Adipic acid is an industrially important dicarboxylic acid, which plays an important role in chemical production, organic synthesis industry, medicine, lubricant manufacturing, etc. It ranks second in production among all dicarboxylic acids.
Product Usage
Uses can be classified by nylon and non-nylon products.
Nylon application is condensation reaction with hexamethylene diamine to produce nylon 66 salt, nylon 66 salt and then condensation into nylon 66 fiber and nylon 66 resin.
The main application of non-nylon is the reaction between adipic acid and polyol to produce polyester polyol, which in turn produces various polyurethane products, such as raw polyurethane shoe soles, polyurethane synthetic leather resin, TPU. in addition, it can also produce plasticizers, polyurethane adhesives, 1.6-hexanediol, wet strength agent, polyester resin, etc.
The downstream product of adipic acid, nylon 66, is an excellent engineering plastic and fiber material used in a wide range of applications such as machinery, electrical and electronics, instrumentation, automotive parts, railroads, tie-downs, home appliances, textiles, airbags and tire cord fabric.
In addition, adipic acid is used in the production of biodegradable plastic PBAT. With the implementation of plastic restriction and the need for energy saving and emission reduction, PBAT has become the choice of a large number of enterprises and capital as a relatively mature alternative to plastic in terms of process and raw materials.
The competitive landscape of the international adipic acid industry
At present, the world adipic acid supply is greater than demand, global adipic acid production is mainly concentrated in a few large companies, INVISTA (capacity 0.53 million tons), Eastman (formerly Solutia, capacity 0.480 million tons), Solvay (formerly Rhodia, capacity 0.38 million tons), BASF (capacity 0.3 million tons). Total capacity is 1.69 million tons.
The total domestic adipic acid production capacity is currently 2.79 million tons the annual. The total capacity of the top five manufacturers accounts for about 74% of the total national capacity. CR5 situation in China is:
Chongqing Huafon Chemical(0.75million tons, 26.82%)
Shenma Nylon(0.47 million tons, 16.99%)
Hualu Hengsheng(0.326 million tons, 11.66%)
Jiangsu Haili(0.3 million tons, 10.73%)
Shandong Haili(0.225 million tons, 8.05%)
China is the world's largest producer of adipic acid, and exports have accounted for 2-3% of China's adipic acid production in last few years. Due to the growth rate of Chinese factories, the domestic market has been unable to fully absorb adipic acid production capacity, in recent years, Chinese manufacturers target the export market, based on the customer resources of strong trading companies such as Nuobai, increased cooperation in a large number of exports
The demand for nylon engineering plastics has been growing rapidly in recent years, and the future development prospects for high-grade nylon engineering plastics are great. Meanwhile, the production of biodegradable plastic PBAT is another major growth point of adipic acid market in the future
Future business-Coorperate with Nuobai
As mentioned above, Chinese market is no longer able to meet the capacity of China, based on long-term market experience, adipic acid manufacturers seek cooperation with Nuobai, hoping that we can be one of their most important agents to help them expand overseas markets.
With two years of cooperation, we have successfully concluded successful business with customers in various foreign countries and helped domestic adipic acid manufacturers to consume a lot of capacity.
Nuobai, as a experienced tradng company, has been cultivating in the adipic acid market for many years and accurately grasps the market dynamics, and is a high-quality supplier of adipic acid.
Why Nuobai was chosen
Nuobai, Supply Chain service provider and consolidate the features of different factory, ensure the availability of material and has the following advantages in the adipic acid supply chain:
1. Decades of pharmaceutical and chemical export experience has brought us a solid customer base
2. Resilience and Resilience in the Nuobai Supply Chain
3. Top Adipic Acid plants put their trust in Nuobai
