Our Advantages
Advantages of C3 product production process
  • Complete Industrial Chain Layout

    Satellite Chemical is one of the few domestic large-scale producers of acrylic acid and esters, polymer emulsions, and functional polymer materials with a complete C3 industrial chain. The company has an annual production capacity of 900,000 tons of propylene, 1.89 million tons of acrylic acid and esters, 450,000 tons of polypropylene, 1.82 million tons of hydrogen peroxide, 150,000 tons of super absorbent polymer, and 210,000 tons of polymer emulsions. This complete industrial chain layout gives the company significant advantages in raw material supply, production coordination, cost control, and product quality, enabling it to better cope with market fluctuations and industry competition.

  • Technical Innovation Capability

     Research and Development Investment:

    The company places a high emphasis on technological innovation, with continuous increases in R&D investment. In the first half of 2024, the R&D investment reached 795 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.25%. The company has achieved multiple results in technology research and development, such as obtaining the Achievement appraisal of high-carbon alpha-olefin technology from national authoritative expert groups in 2023. The purity of 1-octene exceeds that of similar domestic and international products, filling the domestic technology gap and becoming the second in the world and the first domestic enterprise to independently develop this technology.


     Technology Transfer and Application:

    The company's R&D results can be quickly transformed into actual production applications. For example, the independently developed and innovative super absorbent polymer device operates at full capacity, becoming a supplier for well-known domestic and international brands; the propane dehydrogenation propylene device continuously optimizes comprehensive single consumption, setting a new record for daily propylene production; the new acrylic acid and ester device achieves new process innovation, setting a new high for operating cycles and leading industry costs.

  • Scale Effect and Cost Advantage

     Production Capacity Scale:

    Satellite Chemical's production capacity is leading both domestically and globally. The large-scale production capability enables the company to gain better bargaining power and cost advantages in raw material procurement, production equipment utilization, and product sales. For example, the company has a significant advantage in the production capacity scale of acrylic acid and esters, super absorbent polymers, and other products, meeting the large demand of domestic and international customers.


     Raw Material Advantage and Cost Control:

    The company is based on light hydrocarbon integration, using light raw materials to produce olefins. For example, the raw material used in its Lianyungang base is ethane, which has a low comprehensive energy consumption per ton of ethylene produced. Compared to coal-based olefins, it reduces a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Moreover, the base also has a globally leading "low-temperature cold energy" recovery system, which can effectively save energy and reduce production costs.

 

In summary, Satellite Chemical's C3 processes deliver high-quality, cost-effective products with a minimized environmental impact, leveraging advanced technologies and strategic raw material sourcing.

Storage & Handling

Personnel must thoroughly wash their hands, forearms, and face after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking, using the lavatory, and at the end of the workday. Any clothing contaminated by the material should be promptly removed, isolated, and washed before reuse. Working clothes must not be taken home.

 

No open flames, sparks, or smoking in storage areas.

 

For temperatures above 36°C, use a closed system with adequate ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment (ventilation, lighting, and material handling).

 

Store in the original container or an approved alternative made from compatible materials. Keep containers tightly closed and sealed when not in use. Re-seal opened containers carefully and keep them upright to prevent leakage. Ensure containers are stabilized and store them away from light.

 

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, separated from incompatible substances , sources of ignition or heat (e.g., open flames, sparks, direct sunlight, hot surfaces), and food, drink, and animal feed.

 

Regularly inspect storage areas for damage or leaks. Handle containers with care to avoid physical damage.

 

Equip the storage area with appropriate fire-fighting and leakage emergency equipment as specified for the type and quantity of material stored.

Q: Is butyl acrylate hazardous?

A: Exposure to butyl acrylate can cause headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Dangerous fire and explosion hazard.

Q: At what temperature does butyl acrylate degrade?

A: The mechanism of degradation is main-chain scission, and the depolymerization rate increases with temperature above 320 °C.

Q: Is butyl acrylate soluble in water?

A: Butyl acrylate appears as a clear colorless liquid with a sharp characteristic odor. Very slightly soluble in water and somewhat less dense than water.

Q: What is the use of 2 ethyl hexyl acrylate?

A: 2-ethyl acrylate is used in the chemical manufacturing industry for the production of homopolymers and co-polymers which have further uses in creating aqueous polymers.

Q: What is the exposure limit for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate?

A: Target concentration: 5 ppm (38 mg/m3) (Arbitrary). There is no OSHA Permissible exposure level (PEL) or ACGIH Threshold limit value (TLV) for 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate.

Q: What temperature should ethyl acrylate be stored at?

A: In order to prevent polymerization, ethyl acrylate must always be stored under air and never under inert gases. The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C.
