Sinochem Newswire In the 2024 (21st) China International Chemical Industry Exhibition held in Shanghai recently, CNPC's booth was particularly eye-catching, with five major exhibition areas such as high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and all-embracing rubber series, as well as seven new application scenarios such as new energy, new medical care, and new services, becoming one of the highlights of the exhibition.

It is understood that in the refining industry continues to develop and technological advances in the context of PetroChina focus on focusing on high value-added, high-performance new materials development and promotion. For example, new high-performance metallocene polyethylene and polypropylene products, green and environmentally friendly photovoltaic-grade specialty polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer (POE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) materials, as well as solubilized styrene-butadiene rubber for tires focusing on reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

In addition, the company has launched a number of materials that are integrated with emerging industrial chains, including high-performance engineering plastics polycarbonate (PC) and polyoxymethylene (POM), ultra-high-voltage cable insulation materials, lithium battery separators and capacitor film materials.

In order to cope with the market status quo of “low-end surplus and high-end shortage”, PetroChina is committed to breaking through the technological barriers of high-end products and has launched a series of competitive refining products. Ultra-clean polyolefin products can provide solutions in the medical field, cable field, lithium battery and capacitor field.

In addition, PetroChina has made remarkable breakthroughs in the field of high-performance polyolefins in recent years, launching some materials with significant advantages in strength, heat resistance and flexibility. For example, it has developed series of low-melting, medium-melting, high-melting and ultra-high-melting polypropylene materials, which are widely used in the fields of packaging, automobile and medical treatment; and it has developed materials for hydrogen storage pipelines and nuclear power drainage pipelines, which have played a supporting role in the civil and industrial fields.
