The 30,000-ton lithium carbonate project of Nanning BYD New Materials Co., Ltd. has a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan and covers an area of approximately 450 mu. After the project is completed and put into operation, it will produce 30,000 tons of lithium carbonate annually, with an annual output value of 5 billion yuan.

Entering the construction site of BYD's 30,000-ton lithium carbonate project, all the engineering projects are carrying out construction work in an orderly manner. Inside the enterprise dormitory building, workers are engaged in interior wall plastering, paint application and other operations. In the storage area, one by one, huge fiberglass reinforced plastic storage tanks have been wound into shape and stand upright. Outside the building, construction machines are rumbling, trucks fully loaded with materials are shuttling back and forth, and the construction site is bustling with activity. With the full-scale launch of the project and construction, BYD's lithium carbonate project has taken initial shape.


As an advanced new materials supplier in Asia, Swancor Advanced Materials has been committed to providing Earth circular and sustainable products and services in the fields of green energy, environmental protection and safety. In recent years, Swancor Resin products have continuously provided solutions for domestic and foreign enterprises to address carbon neutrality, helping them achieve the "dual carbon" goals and empowering green and low-carbon development.

For many years, Swancor Advanced Materials has been deeply engaged in the new energy battery materials industry and has close cooperation with many leading enterprises in the industry. Its cooperative projects are spread all over the country, including Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hubei and other places.

The process sections where vinyl ester anti-corrosion resin is applied in cathode material engineering mainly involve two aspects: anti-corrosion of various raw liquid storage tanks and various leaching tanks, etc. Generally, high-performance vinyl ester resins such as CH901 and CH907 can be widely used. Swancor vinyl ester resins have won wide recognition from owners and customers with their excellent product quality and outstanding product performance.

In addition, the vinyl ester resin of Swancor also plays an important role in the recycling industry of power lithium batteries.

The application of Swancor products in the new energy battery materials industry mainly lies in scenarios such as equipment for the storage, transportation and treatment of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid solutions, acid and alkali waste gas treatment equipment in waste gas treatment systems, anti-corrosion of production workshop floors with corrosive media, and wastewater storage and treatment equipment.

The types and properties of the Upper latitude vinyl ester resins involved are as follows:

Standard bisphenol A type vinyl ester resins such as SWANCOR 901 and SWANCOR CHEMPULSE 901 are the most widely used resins, and they have excellent corrosion resistance to common acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents.

2. Phenolic vinyl ester resins such as SWANCOR CHEMPULSE 907, SWANCOR 907-S, SWANCOR 900, etc., are phenolic epoxy-modified vinyl ester resins. After curing, these resins have a high crosslinking density This makes it have excellent resistance to oxidizing acids and strong corrosive organic solvents, etc.

3. Brominated flame-retardant vinyl ester resins such as SWANCOR 905-2 and SWANCOR 915 have similar corrosion resistance to standard bisphenol A type vinyl ester resins. Meanwhile, due to the introduction of halogens in the resin system, they possess excellent flame-retardant properties and are mainly applied in corrosion-resistant equipment with flame-retardant requirements
