XUCHUAN Chemical, the rising sun and the morning glow reflect all the rivers

Clothing leather, sofa leather, luggage leather, shoe soles, shoe uppers, car interior parts, plastic parts... the variety of new products in the sample showroom is dizzying. "The physical properties, material structure, breathability and moisture-proof properties of polyurethane produced with our products far exceed those of genuine leather." The person in charge of Asahikawa Chemical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. said that Asahikawa Chemical has 5 modern production bases, including the Taicang factory in the port area. It is a high-tech enterprise with a polyurethane R&D center specializing in the R&D, production and sales of polyester polyols, polyurethane resins for shoe soles, polyurethane resins for artificial leather, polyurethane adhesives, etc. Its comprehensive strength has ranked among the "China Chemical Industry" for many years. the 500 strongest". the

Leading the leather resin industry

Next to the automated production line, a worker skillfully controls the equipment, and bags of products are produced from the production line. "This is a fully automatic production line that can complete feeding, control, packaging and other processes at one time. The amount of manual labor has dropped significantly. In the past, a production line required 20 people, but now it has dropped to 8 to 10 people." A person in charge of Asahikawa Chemical said Speaking of the polyurethane soles that just came off the production line, they said that they are soft, warm, oil-resistant, flex-resistant, and wear-resistant. They are more wear-resistant than rubber. Its density and hardness can be adjusted within a wide range according to the requirements of use, and it can be manufactured. Dual-color (double-density) double-layer soles, the lower sole is a micro-foamed high-wear-resistant surface, and the insole is an elastic foam that is comfortable to wear. It is much lighter than commonly used sole materials and is more suitable for thick soles that require impact resistance and anti-perforation. Shoes, 15% of the world's safety shoes (labor protection shoes) use polyurethane soles.

With the development of clothing, bags, travel shoes, automobiles, construction and other industries, the polyurethane industry has sprung up. Aiming at this development trend, Asahikawa Chemical formed an excellent team to develop, produce and sell Polyester Polyol and polyurethane resin in Minato-ku. "With the rapid development of the market, Asahikawa Chemical has established five large-scale production bases in Taicang, Kunshan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and has established distribution centers in many cities across the country, becoming the world's largest manufacturer of leather resin products. manufacturing suppliers." The person in charge introduced.

After years of R&D accumulation and market development, Asahikawa Chemical's large-scale products that have been put into the market include: polyester polyols, polyurethane resins (solvent-based, solvent-free, water-based), polyurethane composite materials (A B), polyurethane elastomers ( thermosetting, thermoplastic), polyurethane adhesives (solvent-based, solvent-free, water-based, moisture-curing), etc. The products widely cover the global civil, industrial, vehicle, medical, military and other production fields. For example, the functional waterproof and breathable resin materials produced by the company have been selected by brand clothing companies such as Columbia and Wolf Claw, and have also been used in military clothing, tents and other military supplies.

Asahikawa Chemical currently has an annual production capacity of 920,000 tons and currently has 1,200 employees. Its comprehensive strength has been ranked among the "Top 500 Chemical Companies in China" for many years in a row. From January to August 2022, Asahikawa Chemical's production capacity continued to be released, achieving an output value of 7.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.4%.

Firmly grasping the strategic orientation of jointly grasping great protection and not engaging in large-scale development, Asahikawa Chemical has solidly promoted the great protection of the Yangtze River. Invest 5 million yuan in new thermal energy pipeline equipment and use natural gas instead of traditional coal as fuel, which improves thermal efficiency and reduces waste gas emissions; adds waste gas treatment devices, eliminates polluting processes and equipment; and replaces them with water-based and solvent-free processes The traditional solvent-based process achieves zero discharge of solvents. Adopting a sewage treatment system with advanced engineering technology, the treatment effect is remarkable and meets the ISO14001 environmental management system standard and the requirements of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment... This series of measures has effectively promoted the green development of the enterprise.

Looking forward to the future, Asahikawa Chemical is full of confidence. The company will further improve its research and development, production, and sales capabilities, place its regional headquarters in the port area, and strive to make new contributions to the high-quality development of the port area.
