Dye Industry "12th Five-Year" Development Plan Outline (Excerpt)

Facing the huge low-carbon economy, circular economy, and energy-saving and emission-reducing pressure, the development of the dye industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” must shift from relying on resources to relying more on scientific and technological advancement and talent-driven change, focusing on economic scale. Focus on the development of quality change, from high-carbon growth to low-carbon growth, from the damage to the growth of the ecological environment to environmentally friendly growth. Clearing out the scientific development ideas, accelerating the adjustment of industrial structure and promoting the transformation of development methods are the primary tasks faced by China's dye industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period.

I. Review of the development of the dye industry during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan"

(I) Major achievements during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period

1: The number of products produced, exported and consumed ranks first in the world

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s dyestuffs achieved an average annual growth of 6.29% in industrial output value, an average annual increase in industrial sales revenue of 6.20%, an average annual increase of 9.80% in profits and taxes, and an average annual growth of 2.67%, of which annual average growth of dye production was 1.98. %, organic pigment output increased by an average of 5.18%, and the export trade increased by 2.25% annually. It directly exported to more than 130 countries and regions in the world, accounting for about one-third of the world's import and export trade.

2: The product structure is further improved

At present, China has successfully developed nearly 500 new environmentally-friendly dyes. The environmental-friendly dyes have exceeded two-thirds of all dyes, of which the most developed are environmentally-friendly reactive dyes and disperse dyes, while at the same time accelerating the elimination of backward products. And production processes, accelerating the elimination of the production and application of banned dyes, improving the structure of dye products, and satisfying the domestic and foreign markets for the growing demand for green textiles, have achieved remarkable results.

3: Technological progress and greater ability to independently innovate

Since 2006, the dye industry has accelerated the pace of industrial upgrading. One-third of enterprises, especially key and key enterprises, have increased investment in technological innovation. The emergence of new types of textile fibers has led to the development of new dye products. The results have been fruitful; the level of high-tech and production equipment has increased, and the industrialization of cleaner production processes has accelerated, which has promoted the development of green production technology for the entire dye industry.

4: The scale of the company continues to expand, and the group development model highlights

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China's dyestuff industry gathered a preliminary result, the industrial grouping development model highlighted, and the industrial park has begun to take shape. 70% of the production enterprises settled in the park accounted for 85% of the production. Zhejiang dyestuff enterprises have become the leading force in China's dye industry and have become the leading group of dyes and organic pigments in China, accounting for 65% of the national output.

5: Steady growth in production, sales and export trade

In 2010, the total industrial output value of dyes was 40.91 billion yuan, an increase of 6.62% over 2009, industrial sales revenue was 39.55 billion yuan, an increase of 10.94% over 2009, a total taxation of 4.23 billion yuan, an increase of 32.6% over 2009, and a production of 980 thousand tons. , an increase of 8.77% over 2009, of which the output of dyes was 756,000 tons compared with 2009, an increase of 5.15%, organic pigment production was 224,000 tons, an increase of 23.08% over 2009, reaching the best level in history before the international financial crisis. The number of export trade and consumption also achieved steady growth.

6: Steady improvement in product quality and attention to brand building

During the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the quality of dyestuffs and organic pigments in China has been greatly improved, especially in synthetic process technology and commercialization technology, and some of the product quality has reached the international advanced level. China's dyestuff industry has matured from the accumulation of primitive capital, and has improved the study of dyestuff technology and market economic laws. It is an inevitable trend for future development to refine, strengthen, and create famous Chinese brands.

7: The level of technical equipment has gradually increased

With the continuous improvement of production process technology and comprehensive utilization technology, the level of production equipment that is complemented with it has been improved, key technologies such as the large-scale production of clean production technology equipment for leading varieties and key intermediates, and process automation have been successfully applied to dyes. Industrial production, such as: hydrogenation, membrane filtration, pulp drying, and other technologies, have been included in the National Ministry of Industry and Information Technology key industrial clean production technology demonstration and promotion project directory.

8: Globalization begins to advance

The internationalization of products, the transnationalization of production, and the liberalization of trade have begun to advance. Chinese companies rely on their capital, technology, brand, and market advantages to develop their distribution in raw material markets or market growth areas. For example: Zhejiang Longsheng Group Co., Ltd. is a Chinese dyestuff. The only company in the industry to go abroad to the world, other large companies are also developing in the direction of globalization. The level of knowledge in the corporate leadership is also gradually increasing, and it is developing intelligently, which will surely advance the global development of the dye industry.

9: Significant achievements in energy conservation and emission reduction

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, dyes and organic pigment manufacturers cooperated with scientific research institutes and carried out a lot of work in researching the clean production process of dyes and reducing the emission of “three wastes”, and achieved fruitful results, such as dye synthesis process. Wastewater reduction and clean production technologies, dye intermediates hydrogenation reduction cleaner production technologies, and organic pigment intermediates acetoacetyl aromatic amines cleaner production technologies have been widely used in the industry. In order to change the image of the dye industry and strive for industrial policy support, it has played an important role.

(B) The main problems

1: Overcapacity of low-end products, disorderly competition of similar products

China's dye industry is developed on the basis of imitation of foreign dyes. Due to the low threshold of imitation products and quick results, coupled with the urgent need for the rapid development of the textile industry, many dye companies have launched, resulting in a large number of dye enterprises in China. Dye products are the same, the same structure is serious, and some are middle-to-low grade products. There are few high-value-added products, lack of the company's own characteristics or characteristics, resulting in disorderly competition of similar products in the fierce market competition, and reducing product profitability. Affected the improvement of the overall competitiveness of the dye industry.

2: The toxicological properties and ecotoxicological properties of the product are seriously lacking

The EU REACH Regulation was formally implemented on June 1, 2008. According to the requirements of the regulation, dyes need to provide inherent data including physicochemical properties, toxicological properties, and ecotoxicological properties. At present, the lack of these indicators by dyes and organic pigments in China averages 75.0%. This has brought many uncertainties and great difficulties to China's dye industry in responding to the EU REACH regulations. It will certainly affect the raw materials, technology, quality, management and operation of the dye industry in China, and will become another level that restricts the development of the dye industry. .

3: High-performance, high-value-added products rely on imports

Although the output, export volume, and consumption of dyes, organic pigments, and textile auxiliaries in China rank first in the world, the proportion of product structure is still dominated by medium and low-end products. With the improvement of people’s income level and the continuous renewal of market demand, the contradiction between production and consumption has become increasingly prominent. The high-performance, high-value-added dyes, organic pigments, and textile auxiliaries imported annually during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period The quantity exceeds 10% of the annual consumption, including about 40,000 to 60,000 tons of dyes, 20,000 to 24,000 tons of organic pigments, and 85,000 to 90,000 tons of textile auxiliaries.

4: The overall technological innovation ability is weak

The creation of dyes and organic pigments in China started late, the foundation for creation was weak, financial support was limited, and the experience in creating was not abundant. There was a big gap between original technology and foreign multinationals, and the industrialization of basic research was slow. Although some progress has been made in recent years, the entire dyestuff industry has shown that the vast majority of dyes and organic pigment companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, have very weak technological innovation capabilities.

5: The competitiveness of dyestuffs commercialization, dosage forms and dyestuff auxiliaries is obviously lagging behind

The competitiveness of China's dyestuffs and organic pigments in high added value has lagged behind that of foreign companies. On the one hand, there are too few high-value-added products, and developed countries often purchase the original dyes in our country and then carry out commercial processing and then return them to the domestic market. On the other hand, China's existing domestic additives have fewer types and fewer new varieties, especially environmental friendly, high performance, and dye additives are very scarce and need to rely on imports.

6: The application technology research and service level of products is in the initial stage

The research on the investment and application of special-purpose experiments and test equipments for domestic enterprises has just started, and the requirements for integrated application research and application technical services required by downstream companies cannot be met, and it is difficult to provide effective technical support for the printing, dyeing, ink, coating and plastics industries.

7: Relatively low level of degree of automation and automation

There is a certain gap between the optimization, systematization and integration of dye production technology and the quality and operational stability compared with foreign advanced technology. The production processes of dyes and organic pigments of foreign companies are generally automated. The product yield and quality stability are both higher than those in China, and the capacity of a single production line is also higher than that of domestic ones. Only a few enterprises in our country have achieved automatic control in the production of individual products. Although most enterprises use centralized display of process parameters, the operation control mainly uses manual or manual remote control, and only individual companies use DCS distributed control systems for individual workshops.

8: Weak brand building

China's dyestuffs and organic pigments have become the world's largest producer, but brand building has not yet formed a well-known brand with international competitiveness and influence. It lacks the comprehensive advantages of personalization, differentiation, high quality and low cost. With low values, the development of dyes in new areas is even weaker. In the domestic market, brand building has also become weak, with only a handful of high-grade, high-quality, safety-environmental, and excellent application services brands available.

9: The state of intellectual property has not yet reached internationalization

The total number of dye-related invention patent applications currently published by China’s Intellectual Property Office is 1,642, of which 675 are invention patents applied in China, accounting for 41%; 302 patents involving new structures, 198 in China, accounting for 65%, but approximately 50% of the dyes are compounded, and the new structure application only accounts for about 30%. The total number of applications for patent related invention patents was 1,800. China had 850 applications, accounting for 47%; 51 patents related to structure, and 8 applications in China, accounting for only 16%.

In invention patents authorized by the United States since 1976, the total number of patents involving dyes was 3,900, of which 5 were patents invented by mainland China and 31 in Taiwan; 2,058 patents involving pigments were invented by mainland China and Taiwan. The patent is only one each. From this we can see that the patented technology of China's dyes has not yet reached the international arena.

Second, the development status and trends of China's dyestuff industry

(I) Status of China's Dye Industry

China has become the world's largest producer of dyestuffs, trade volume and consumption in the world. Dye production accounts for about 60% of the world's total dye production. At present, there are about 600 kinds of dyes produced in China, covering all major dye categories, which can meet more than 90% of domestic market demand. China's larger production of dyes followed by disperse dyes, reactive dyes and dyes (Figure 2). During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the growth rate of China’s dye production and export volume slowed down, but the dye sales revenue increased at an average annual rate of 6.2%, indicating that the quality of dye industrial products in China is steadily increasing.

After more than 60 years of development, the dye industry in China has played a decisive role and role in the national economy. Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are the four major needs of mankind. Dyes are used in clothing, food, automobiles, and buildings. Or missing role. In addition, dyes and organic pigments are also widely used in various fields related to national economy and people's livelihood in other industrial sectors and agriculture, medical and health care, photographic equipment, construction ships, information, and national defense. However, compared with advanced countries, the competitiveness of China's dye industry is still in a weak position.

(II) The demand for upgrading the dye industry in our society

In the next five years, the demand for domestic dyes in the textile industry will increase at an average annual rate of 7%. The steady development of China's textile industry will drive the growth of textile dyes consumption. According to the plan for the revitalization of the textile industry, the output of China's textile fibers by 2015 It will reach more than 50 million tons, the annual consumption of dye (plus the export volume) will increase to more than 1 million tons, and textile auxiliaries will exceed 1.2 million tons. In addition, with the improvement of people’s living standards, domestic demand has also put forward higher requirements on the quality of textiles, and it also poses new challenges to the varieties and quality of dyes in China.

In addition, today's dyes have been widely used in various fields such as industry, agriculture, medical and health, photographic equipment, electronic information, national defense, satellite remote sensing, and other national economies. At present, China is the world's largest automobile producer. In 2010, 18 million cars were produced and sold. Such a large number of cars all need beautiful "outerwear" and "interior decoration", while the production of "outerwear" requires high-performance organic pigments, and the production of "interior decoration" requires high-functionality dyes. At present, organic pigments used in the original finishes of automobiles are prepared. Most of the dyes used in the dyeing of decorative fabrics are products of foreign companies; for example, dyes for recording on optical discs, dyes for liquid crystal displays, infrared absorbing dyes, laser dyes, and solar energy conversion dyes developed using the optical/electrical or biochemical properties of dyes. Fluorescent probes play a key role in the fields of high technology, energy, defense, and medical care. They generally have the characteristics of high technological content and high added value, and are also urgently needed in the fields related to the national economy.
