Fine chemicals have the following characteristics

Fine chemicals have the following characteristics:

(1) Wide variety of products and wide application fields

Internationally, there are 40-50 categories of fine chemicals and more than 100,000 varieties. Fine chemicals are used in all aspects of daily life, such as medicine, dyes, pesticides, coatings, daily chemicals, electronic materials, paper chemicals, inks, food additives, feed additives, water treatment, etc. Information technology, new materials, new energy technology, environmental protection and other high-tech fields are widely used.

(2) The production technology is complex

There are many varieties of fine chemicals. The same intermediate product can be extended to several or even dozens of derivatives with different uses through different technological processes. The production process is complex and changeable, and the technology is complex. All kinds of fine chemical products need to go through laboratory development, small test, pilot test and then to large-scale production. They also need to be updated or improved in time according to the needs of downstream customers. The requirements for product quality and stability are high, and enterprises need to be in production. In the process, we continuously improve the process and accumulate experience. Therefore, the derivative development of fine chemical products in the segmented field, the accumulation of experience in production processes and the ability to innovate are the core competitiveness of a fine chemical enterprise.

(3) High added value of products

The production process involved in fine chemical products is long, and it has to go through multiple multi-unit operations. The manufacturing process is relatively complex, and in the production process, conditions such as mild reaction conditions, safe operating environment, and specific chemical reactions are met to achieve chemical production. Easy separation, high product yield, which requires a high level of process technology and reaction equipment. Therefore, fine chemical products generally have higher added value.

(4) There are many types of compound products

In practical applications, fine chemicals appear with the comprehensive functions of products, which requires screening different chemical structures in chemical synthesis, and giving full play to the synergistic cooperation between the functions of fine chemicals and other complex substances in the production of dosage forms. The demand for fine chemical products in industrial production is diverse, and it is difficult for a single product to meet the needs of production or use. Take the water treatment industry where the company is located as an example, the special chemicals used in this field include bactericides Scale agents, corrosion inhibitors, flocculants, etc., and the chemical preparations for each use can be compounded by several chemical agents.

(5) The product has high viscosity to downstream customers

Fine chemical products are generally used in specific areas of the industrial production process or to achieve specific functions of downstream products. Therefore, users have high requirements for product quality and stability, and stricter selection process and standards for suppliers. Once entered into the supplier list, it will be Not easily replaced.
