Environmental Impact Assessment Acceptance for the Expansion Project of Xuchuan Chemical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. with an Annual Production Capacity of 60000 Tons of Polyurethane New Materials

On May 28, 2026, the Administrative Approval Bureau of Taicang Port Economic and Technological Development Zone issued a public notice on the acceptance of the environmental impact assessment for the "Xuchuan Chemical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. Expansion Project with an Annual Output of 60000 Tons of Polyurethane New Materials".

According to the Environmental Impact Assessment Report, Xuchuan Chemical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. was established on February 13, 2007. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and production of polyester polyols and polyurethane materials.

Xuchuan Chemical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. has two factory areas in Taicang City, namely Xichang District and Dongchang District. The Dongchang District is located on the land south of Xiexin Road and west of Longjiang Road in the Taicang Port Chemical Industrial Park (i.e. No. 3 Xiexin Middle Road, Taicang Port Development Zone); The Xichang District is located on the plot west of Binyang Road and north of Huasu Road in the Taicang Port Chemical Industrial Park (i.e. No. 16 Huasu Middle Road, Taicang Port Development Zone). The approved and tested production capacity of Dongchang District is 80000 tons of polyurethane resin per year, and the approved and tested production capacity of Xichang District is 270000 tons of polyurethane new materials per year.

　　adhesiveAs a fundamental chemical material, it is essential in human daily life and industrial manufacturing. In recent years, the rapid development and wider application of adhesive manufacturing industry have had a certain impact on the ecological environment. Low pollution or pollution-free environmentally friendly adhesives will undoubtedly be the future development direction, with water-based, solid, solvent-free, and low toxicity becoming the mainstream directions for adhesive development in the future.

Many countries and regions have successively introduced policies in specific industries such as packaging, furniture, footwear, and automotive interiors, restricting or even prohibiting the use of solvent based adhesives with high VOC content and some hot melt adhesives (such asEVAInsufficient heat and chemical resistance of hot melt adhesive. High performance and environmentally friendly polyurethane hot melt adhesive is a 100% polyurethane resin content formed by chemical reactions and physical mixing of raw and auxiliary materials such as isocyanates, polyols, and additives. It is a paste or solid at room temperature and is an environmentally friendly polyurethane resin that replaces solvent based polyurethane resin adhesives. Polyester polyols are a key type of polymer synthesisraw materialIt has core application value in the preparation of polyurethane resin. As a key raw material for the preparation of composite polyethers, this product also provides efficient and stable formula support for downstream industries, helping to improve the energy efficiency and environmental adaptability of end products.

Due to the rapid development and upgrading of the terminal industry, unprecedented high-performance requirements have been put forward for adhesives. Traditional adhesives are difficult to meet, creating a huge market space for high-performance and environmentally friendly polyurethane hot melt adhesives.

For a long time, the high-end high-performance and environmentally friendly polyurethane hot melt adhesive market (especially in the fields of automobiles, electronics, new energy, etc.) has been dominated by international giants such as Henkel, Fule, Bosco, and Sika. There are gaps in technology, brand, and application services among domestic enterprises.

China's "Manufacturing Power" strategy, "Guidelines for the Development of New Materials Industry" and other policies encourage the development of high-performance and green new materials, and support the localization and substitution of key materials. Domestic enterprises are closer to the market and can respond more quickly to customer needs, providing customized services and timely technical support. Therefore, building advanced high-performance and environmentally friendly polyurethane hot melt adhesive projects is an important opportunity to break international monopolies, achieve localization of high-end adhesives, and enhance the resilience and safety level of China's manufacturing supply chain.

To this end, the construction unit plans to expand on the basis of Xichang District, with a planned investment of 384.2 million yuan to expand the annual production of 60000 tons of polyurethane new materials project. The expansion project (hereinafter referred to as the "Project") will add 52.6 acres of land and 23593.7m of new building area. It has obtained the investment project filing certificate (filing certificate number: Taigang Guanbei (2026) 26) issued by the Taicang Port Economic and Technological Development Zone Administrative Approval Bureau on January 27, 2026, with project code 2601-320555-89-01-233332. The design production capacity of the expansion project is an annual output of 60000 tons of polyurethane new materials, including 13000 tons of high-performance polyester polyols (self-produced and self used 2500 tons), 3000 tons of polycarbonate polyols, 14000 tons of polymer polyester polyols, and 30000 tons of high-performance environmentally friendly polyurethane hot melt adhesive.
