Automotive and Transportation
Chemical raw materials are widely used in the automotive industry.Covering fuels (gasoline, diesel, methanol), materials (plastics, rubber, coatings, composites for vehicle bodies, interiors, tires), and functional chemicals (such as electrolytes for batteries and catalysts for exhaust treatment), automobiles support manufacturing, operation, and environmental protection. From basic organic chemical raw materials to high-tech battery materials, everything is crucial, driving the development of lightweight, electrified, and cleaner vehicles.

Main application areas
  1. Energy and fuel

    • Fossil fuels : Gasoline and diesel are the core fuels for traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.

    • Alternative fuels : Methanol can be added to gasoline as a clean fuel or used in further processing, as well as in the chemistry of next-generation electric vehicle batteries such as lithium-sulfur batteries.

  2. Automobile manufacturing and lightweighting

    • Polymer materials : Polycarbonate is used for headlights and grilles; engineering plastics are used to manufacture lightweight components; rubber is used for tires and seals.

    • Coating and adhesives : provide protection, aesthetics, and bond different parts together.

    • Composite materials : used to manufacture lighter and stronger structural components.

  3. Interior and Comfort

    • Foam materials : used for seats, ceilings, carpets, etc.

    • Textile and leather alternatives : high-quality synthetic materials.

  4. New energy and environmental protection

    • Battery chemicals : Electrolytes and separator materials are key components of lithium-ion batteries.

    • Exhaust gas treatment : Chemicals used in automotive exhaust purification systems (SCR systems), such as AdBlue® (urea aqueous solution).

    • Catalyst : Reduces pollutant emissions.

  5. Automotive maintenance and functionality

    • Lubricating oils and additives : reduce friction and improve engine efficiency.

    • Refrigerant : Air conditioning system. 

Chemical Raw Materials and Future Trends
  • Circular economy : High-purity polycarbonate is produced by chemically recycling waste tires and other materials, achieving closed-loop utilization.

  • Electrification and Intelligentization : Providing key chemical support for electric vehicle batteries, sensors, and electronic components.

  • Sustainable development : utilizing bio-based materials and developing more environmentally friendly chemicals to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
