Gathering energy and empowering Dongfang Research Institute helps Keqiao enterprises stand on the forefront

Recently, reporters learned from the Shaoxing Innovation Institute of Donghua University that the research and development of green functional materials was co-founded by professors from Donghua University and the State Key Laboratory of Fiber Material Modification, together with industrialists and scientific innovation engineering teams. , the production company – Shaoxing HuiqunNew Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has made new achievements. The new green titanium-based polyester catalyst developed is very popular in the market and has been used in many polyesters. The ester production line was successfully tried.

Industry-research cooperation helps transform cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements

Since its establishment in 2019, “Huiqun New Materials” has been focusing on the pilot production of the synthesis, separation, drying, ultrafine and application technology development of organic and inorganic hybrid functional materials, and is committed to the engineering of scientific and technological achievements. and industrialization transformation, carry out pilot scale-up production and popularization of the technical results of small experiments in universities, and explore independent hematopoiesis and virtuous cycle methods of new material incubators.

Since its development, the company has received Category A funding from the Shaoxing Domestic and Overseas Talents Program, participated in 1 national key research and development plan project, accepted 4 national invention patents, and has more than 600 square meters New productR&D base. In March this year, it also reached a long-term strategic cooperation with Professor Sun Bin of Donghua University and the new material (functional masterbatch) research and development platform jointly built by Donghua Institute of Textiles and Textiles, mainly focusing on additives for functional fibers, functional powders, and functional masterbatch. Addition and dispersion technology, etc., are used to prepare functional materials; a small test platform is provided around functional fiber spinning technology and application technology.

The new green titanium-based polyester catalyst developed this time to address industry and social pain points has become one of the company’s main products. Its catalytic activity is high, adjustable and controllable, and its performance is stable due to its resistance to hydrolysis. It can be added in the esterification stage that most other catalysts cannot do, exerting its esterification catalytic effect and saving energy and consumption, and can replace the currently common antimony series. Catalyst to solve the environmental pollution and human health threats caused by heavy metal antimony catalysts in polyester clothing and polyester beverage bottles. It can replace the n-butyl titanate catalyst that is not resistant to hydrolysis. , which solves the problem that PBT industrial production lines need to be regularly stopped for descaling due to scaling and the product quality is unstable. It can be widely used in textile, polyester film, polyester bottles, hot melt adhesive, polyester plastic and other industries.

“In the future, the company will rely on the strong scientific research capabilities of Donghua University, collaborate with upstream and downstream related enterprises in the industrial chain, and professional production companies, etc., to further strengthen cooperation with Donghua Institute of Industry, Education and Research, Cooperation in talent cultivation, resource introduction, etc.,” said the person in charge of “Huiqun New Materials”.
