Guidance on high-quality development of chemical fiber industry

We will work hard to strengthen weak links and strengthen the industrial chain

At the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the "textile power Construction" proposed by the "Textile Power Construction Outline 2011~2020" has been initially realized. On this basis, the "Guiding Opinions" proposed to "comprehensively build a chemical fiber power", what kind of signal is released?

In this regard, Chen Xinwei said that China is currently the world's first chemical fiber producer and consumer power, China's chemical fiber production accounted for more than 70% of the world, chemical fiber accounted for about 85% of the total textile fiber processing in China, China's chemical fiber industry in scientific and technological innovation, product structure, green manufacturing, intelligent level and other aspects have reached the international leading position. Chemical fiber industry chain supply chain security, stability and competitiveness are increasingly enhanced. The industry has formed a group of polyester head enterprises represented by Hengli Group, Rongsheng Group, Hengyi Group, Shenghong Group, Tongkun Group, New Fengming Group, and nylon head enterprises represented by Hengshen Group, Jinjiang Technology, etc., they have global competitive advantages in terms of production scale, industrial chain integration, innovation ability, green manufacturing, brand building and so on. In particular, the carbon fiber head enterprises represented by Zhongfu Shenying, Guangwei Composite, Jiangsu Hengshen, Jilin Carbon Valley, etc., continue to achieve new breakthroughs in technological innovation capabilities and product application fields. In addition, in 2021, Hengli, Rongsheng, Hengyi and Shenghong all ranked among the Fortune Global 500 list.

However, it should also be noted that the development of chemical fiber industry is facing some problems and shortcomings, mainly including: first, high-quality development is not sufficient, the safety and stability of raw material protection and the industrial chain need to be improved, and the constraints of some raw materials, auxiliaries and key equipment need to be broken through. Such as nylon 66 key raw material adipdinitrile localization process is slow; The import dependence of recycled cellulose fiber raw materials is high, and some key technologies of bio-based fiber raw materials need to be broken through and improved. Third, there is still a gap in the development of high-performance fibers, bio-based chemical fibers and degradable materials, and fourth, green development and recycling systems need to be improved. Therefore, the chemical fiber industry in the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period will also complement the shortcomings, strengthen the advantages, further achieve the security, stability and reliability of the industrial chain, and provide solid support for the development of the textile industry chain and emerging strategic industries.

Chen Xinwei also said that in order to achieve high-quality development of the chemical fiber industry, the safety of the source of the industrial chain cannot be ignored. He said that chemical fibers, petroleum-based raw materials of synthetic fibers accounted for about 91%, and China's dependence on foreign oil as high as 70%, so the sharp fluctuations in international crude oil prices will directly bring a certain risk to the smooth operation of the chemical fiber industry. Although in the past two years, domestic large private chemical fiber enterprises have realized the development mode of the whole industrial chain "from crude oil refining to chemical fiber textile", and their competitiveness has been further improved, the uncertainty of the global crude oil market and international trade situation has increased the uncontrollable risk of the raw material end of China's textile chemical fiber industry. In addition, oil is a non-renewable resource, the high dependence on oil resources is not conducive to the stability and sustainable development of the textile industry, therefore, how to improve the safety of the industrial chain from the source is a problem that cannot be ignored.

In addition, from the perspective of diversification of raw material sources and sustainable development, the basic national conditions of China's energy resources are "rich coal, poor oil, less gas", with the development of new green and advanced chemical industry technology, coal can become an important source of raw materials for chemical fiber industry through chemical processing, and it is necessary to accelerate the integration of modern coal chemical industry and chemical fiber industry. In addition, it is also necessary to accelerate the cultivation and development of bio-based chemical fiber manufacturing industry, make full use of crop waste, bamboo, hemp, fast-growing forests and rich Marine biological resources, etc., and develop industrial raw materials routes that partially replace fossil resources with bio-renewable resources.

Chen Xinwei pointed out that in order to promote the high-quality development of the industry and do a good job of reinforcing the weak board and strengthening the chain of the industrial chain, the Guiding Opinions put forward several key tasks:
