The hydrotalcite market has strong development momentum and domestic hydrotalcite has large development space.

Hydrotalcite is a non-toxic dihydroxy compound with a special layered structure. As a supramolecular material, hydrotalcite has good adsorption, catalytic properties, weak alkalinity and stability, and can be used as an insulating agent and stabilizer. , anti-aging agents, anti-UV agents, etc. are used in the fields of medicine, synthetic resins, plastics, environmental protection treatment, etc. At the same time, hydrotalcite has the effect of suppressing and eliminating smoke. It is a new type of smoke-eliminating non-toxic flame retardant.

According to different application fields, hydrotalcite can be divided into pharmaceutical-grade hydrotalcite and industrial-grade hydrotalcite; according to different sources, hydrotalcite is divided into two categories: natural hydrotalcite and synthetic hydrotalcite. Among them, synthetic hydrotalcite has higher purity and The processing steps are simple and it is a mainstream product in current production. Synthetic hydrotalcite preparation processes include anion exchange method, co-precipitation method, roasting reduction method, etc. Among them, co-precipitation method is relatively widely used.

According to the “2022-2027 China Hydrotalcite Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Thanks to the continuous release of downstream market demand, my country’s hydrotalcite market has strong development momentum. From 2013 to 2020, my country’s hydrotalcite market size increased from 240 million yuan to 980 million yuan, of which the industrial-grade hydrotalcite market size reached 820 million yuan.

In recent years, my country’s hydrotalcite market has become more prosperous, and the industry’s production capacity and output have increased. By 2020, the output of my country’s hydrotalcite industry has reached 70,000 tons. Compared with European and American countries, my country’s hydrotalcite market started late and is still in the initial stage of development. Due to technical limitations, there is still a certain gap between the quality of domestic synthetic hydrotalcite and foreign advanced products. Therefore, my country’s synthetic hydrotalcite import dependence is still high. .

There are a large number of hydrotalcite production companies in my country, and the market competition is fierce. Among them, foreign-funded companies occupy a major share of the high-end hydrotalcite market by virtue of their advantages in technology, first mover, brand, quality, etc., such as Japan’s Kyowa Chemical, Sakai Chemical and other companies, while local companies compete in the market. However, under the general trend of domestic substitution, the market share of domestic hydrotalcite is gradually increasing. At this stage, my country’s local hydrotalcite production companies include Chenghe Technology, Boyang Chemical, Shaoyang Tiantang, Jiangxi Hongyuan Chemical, etc., among which Chenghe Technology is a leading company in my country’s hydrotalcite industry.

Chenghe Technology is a high-tech enterprise that supplies polymer material additives. The company’s main products are nucleating agents, synthetic hydrotalcite and composite additives. The performance of the highly transparent synthetic hydrotalcite produced by Chenghe Technology is superior to similar international products. It has been supplied to international companies such as Edico and Baierrohe on a large scale. At the same time, the company’s synthetic hydrotalcite products are also the only domestic synthetic hydrotalcite designated for use by Sinopec. .

Industry analysts said that hydrotalcite has a wide range of downstream applications. In recent years, thanks to the release of downstream market demand, my country’s hydrotalcite market has The development momentum is strong. my country’s hydrotalcite industry started late. Due to technical limitations, my country’s high-end hydrotalcite products currently still rely on imports. However, as the competitive advantages of domestic enterprises increase, the pace of domestic hydrotalcite substitution will accelerate, and the industry will have broad room for development in the future.
