In the future, Feiyang Junyan will continue to uphold the concept of innovation, increase R&D investment, and promote the company to achieve greater breakthroughs and development in the field of new materials.
Tian Changhai, executive director of Zhuhai Feiyang, introduced in detail the construction progress of the expansion of Zhuhai Feiyang and Tiandong polyurea projects, demonstrating the company's strong strength and foresight. He mentioned that with the transformation of the new chemical materials industry from high-speed development to high-quality development, Feiyang Junyan actively responded to the industry trend and began to design and build a new polyurea material project with an annual output of 26,000 tons in July 2023. The commissioning of this project will enable Feiyang Junyan to have a total of 40,000 tons of resin-related production capacity, laying a solid foundation for the company's future development.
The new project has achieved remarkable results in upgrading the existing asparagus resin production process. By realizing a fully automated production line for raw materials from the tank farm to the production unit and to the finished product packaging, the new project has reduced the number of employees by 50% compared to the original production line, tripled the output value per capita, and achieved significant economic benefits. At the same time, the product design indicators of the new production line have been comprehensively upgraded, which can directly produce high-purity bio-based asparagus polyurea resin, which further improves product quality and market competitiveness.
In order to further strengthen Feiyang Junyan's advantages in the Tiandong polyurea industry chain and build the second engine of the company's high-quality development, Feiyang Junyan will start the construction of a diethyl maleate project with an annual output of 20,000 tons in June 2023. The project completed the infrastructure construction, equipment installation, instrument commissioning, pipeline cleaning and pressure test in only 6 months, and completed all the trial production work beyond expectations in early 2024, showing the company's efficient and pragmatic style.
The newly built diethyl maleate production unit has significant advantages compared with other similar devices on the market. The device adopts the continuous production technology independently developed by Feiyang Junyan and has independent intellectual property rights, which has the characteristics of high efficiency, high quality and stability, energy saving and environmental protection compared with the traditional kettle batch method. This is also the world's first 10,000-ton continuous production unit, and the product quality has reached the highest standard in the industry, laying a solid foundation for the company's development in the field of diethyl maleate.

It is worth mentioning that after the celebration, the participants followed the guide and visited the newly built 26,000 tons of asparagus polyurea project and 20,000 tons of diethyl maleate project. Walking into the factory, you will see a modern and intelligent production line. The sunlight shines through the spacious factory windows on the brand-new equipment, showing the strong production strength of Feiyang Junyan.
During the visit, we witnessed the raw materials from the tank farm to the production equipment, through a series of precise processes, and finally into high-quality finished product packaging. The smooth operation of the fully automated production line is impressive, and the economic benefits of reducing staff and increasing efficiency are vividly reflected here. The participants stopped to watch, and from time to time expressed their sincere admiration for the achievements made by Feiyang Junyan in technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
In addition, the newly completed Innovation Center was the focus of the visit. This multi-functional building, which integrates smart exhibition hall, R&D experiment, pilot scale-up, process research, precision testing and other functions, is not only a symbol of Feiyang Junyan's technical strength, but also an important carrier of its innovation-driven development strategy.
