In December 2015, Fuxin City, Liaoning Province launched the
implementation plan about scientific and technological innovation-driven
development. It will mainly develop the fluorochemical industry and meanwhile
make breakthroughs in various advanced technologies. This not only complies with
the general guideline of the 13th Five-year Plan - to thoroughly implement
the strategy of scientific and technological innovation-driven development and
to build new industry system, but also sets an example to other fluorochemical
industry clusters in China.
On 7 Dec., 2015, the People’s Government of Fuxin City (Liaoning Province) released
the Implementation Plan about Scientific and Technological Innovation Driven
Development. The city will accelerate the construction of its independent
innovation system and make scientific and technological innovation the drive to
adjust, transform and upgrade its industry structure.
The city has specific plans that by 2020:
- To invest USD125.05 million (RMB800 million) into R&D
- To develop 10 technologies and products that are leading at home and advanced
abroad
- Sales from high-tech business to take up over 20% of the total industrial sales
- Contribution rate of scientific and technological progress to
the economy growth to reach 60%
Particularly, it will develop the fluorochemical industry, extend the industry
chain to premium level, and make breakthroughs in the core and
cutting-edge technology, advanced technology and key technology for
industrialised application. Specifically, it will enhance the R&D of new
and high value-added fluorochemicals by relying on the local leading
enterprises such as Kingchem (Liaoning) Chemical Co., Ltd., Fuxin Hengtong
Fluorine Chemicals Co., Ltd., Liaoning Tianyu Chemical Co., Ltd. and Asymchem
Laboratories (Fuxin) Co., Ltd.

Fuxin’s rigorous promotion of the scientific and technological innovation in fluorochemical
industry not only complies with the general guideline of 13th Five-year
Plan - to thoroughly implement the strategy of scientific and technological
innovation driven development and build a new industry system, but also sets an
example to other fluorochemical industry clusters in China, according to CCM.
If China’s fluorochemical industry wants to rise from the current depression
caused by the structural disequilibrium - excess mid- and low-end capacity
and insufficient high-end capacity, it should take the course of scientific and
technological innovation driven development, and extend towards the downstream
industry chain. This has become a consensus in the industry.
In early 2015, Liaoning Provincial Economy and Informatisation Commission
included Fuxin’s fluorochemical industry in the 13th Five-year Fine Chemical
Development Plan, and intended to guide the industry to develop premium fine
chemicals, by specifically supporting the high performance fluorine-enriched
materials, fluorine-enriched pesticide and pharmaceutical intermediates and the
downstream products.
Meanwhile, the Fuxin Fluorine Industry Development Zone, the local
fluorochemical enterprise cluster, completed 2 significant scientific and
technological innovation events in June 2015.
1. The R&D centre it built jointly with the Shanghai Institute of Organic
Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the leading research institute in
organic fluorochemical industry, has come into use, to provide strong
technological support for the local fluorochemical enterprises in the R&D
of new products and exploration of new application fields.
2. Taking the lead in building an intelligent development zone with innovative
technology and management, it was awarded the title China’s Fluorochemical
Industry Pilot Base by the China Fluorine and Silicon Organic Material Industry
Association. With Internet technologies like Internet of Things and big data,
it developed intelligent management system that includes 6 sections such as
environmental protection, security and energy information, and realised the
sequencing, standardisation and informatisation of management in the zone.
