Oriental Union Chemical Corporation and Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation join hands to build a low carbon industrial chain

        As we all know, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation belongs to the "chemical industry" and Ya Tung ready mixed concrete Corporation belongs to the "cement and building materials industry". Seemingly unrelated industries, in fact, there are countless connections and possibilities behind them. Let's see how they bloom the sparks of comprehensive effect under the agitation of innovative thinking? And how to join hands across domains to complete the integration of industrial chain?

        If the "quality of ready mixed concrete" is the key to the success of a construction project, "chemical additives" are undoubtedly an indispensable part of the concrete manufacturing process.

        Ya Tung ready mixed concrete corporation produces about 5 million m3 of concrete every year, and about 20000 tons of chemicals are added in the process. The main raw material of this chemical agent is polycarboxylate polymer (PCE), which is processed by hPEG monomer reaction. At present, the only hPEG monomer manufacturer in Taiwan is Oriental Union Chemical Corporation. Only in the past, it was sold to the general large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturers first, and then it was produced by reaction processing and compounding, and then supplied to the downstream cement and building materials industry.

        This kind of industrial chain makes the quality of concrete vulnerable to the influence of agents, but also raises the production cost of cement building materials industry, resulting in many tangible and intangible losses. In view of this, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation and Ya Tung ready mixed concrete Corporation decided to jointly develop chemical agents and vertically integrate the industrial chain.

        Resource sharing and complementary advantages

        As the quality of concrete in the construction site is mainly affected by the quality of sand and stone and the amount of chemical agent, the "standardized admixture and quality" is the primary task. After close discussions between the two teams and hundreds of field tests, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation redefined the core active ingredients in the pharmaceutical products, established accurate production process and scientific formulation technology, and ensured the stability of pharmaceutical quality through quantitative indicators; meanwhile, Ya Tung ready mixed concrete Corporation We also started to develop the technology of "quantifying the quality of sand and stone" to predict the dosage of chemicals. In this way, we can accurately change the dosage of chemicals according to the quality of sand and stone, and avoid unnecessary cost waste caused by the traditional method of relying on experience adjustment.

        In addition, considering that the quality of sand and gravel in Taiwan is variable, and fly ash is easy to float out during construction, which affects the appearance of concrete, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation further combines its manufacturing technology in special chemical raw materials with ya Tung ready mixed concrete corporation With rich experience in the production and use of concrete materials, we have successively developed functional additives such as concrete appearance improver and defoamer to assist Yatong ready mixed concrete corporation to ensure the uniform appearance of concrete.

                Vertical integration and multiple benefits

        With the efforts of the project team, the newly designed G-type high-performance water reducing retarder (jsp01) and high fluidizing agent (jsp02) have passed the pharmaceutical technology evaluation in the north, central and South regions of Taiwan in 2020, with excellent performance in all aspects. Among them, the G-type high-performance water reducing retarder (jsp01) has been successfully introduced into Yatung ready mixed concrete corporation since 2020 To verify the feasibility of cross enterprise application integration. In the future, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation will continue to collect data on various environmental factors, make quantitative statistics on the characteristics of sand and stone materials, integrate practical experience on site, apply it to big data analysis, and assist Yatong ready mixed concrete corporation to quickly respond to various material conditions and produce high-quality concrete products.

        It is worth mentioning that in addition to enhancing product value and reducing cost, the one-stop production of Oriental Union Chemical Corporation from integrating raw materials to end products has also effectively reduced the production cycle and energy consumption of products. Taking the production of 1000 tons of G-type high-performance water reducing retarder (jsp01) as an example, about 8000 kwh of electricity and 32 tons of steam can be saved, which is equivalent to reducing 12 tons of carbon emissions. If the reduction of packaging materials and energy-saving benefits of transportation are taken into account, the carbon reduction effect is more significant.

        Oriental Union Chemical Corporation and Yatong ready mixed concrete corporation are the industry pioneers in different professional fields. Through cross domain cooperation, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation We have developed chemicals and functional additives for concrete that can meet the needs of end-users and the market, and are formally involved in the field of building chemicals. In the future, we are expected to further operate the concrete application market and meet the design needs of the industry. Meanwhile, due to the improvement of the overall competitiveness of concrete products, Ya Tung ready mixed concrete corporation will help to expand its market share in the concrete market, join hands with other companies, increase the overall revenue and profit of the group, and set a new example for creating the comprehensive effect of the group.
