Construction of the World's Largest EVA Project Started in Lianyungang Petrochemical Base

The construction work of the world's largest EVA project started on 7 September in the petrochemical industry base in Lianyungang. After the project is fully completed, the proportion of China's high-end photovoltaic materials in the global market will be significantly increased.

With a total investment of about 21.6 billion yuan, the project involves the construction of three EVA facilities, one high-performance engineering plastics device and one high-end polyolefin device. EVA is the key raw material for the production of photovoltaic modules, and is also widely used in electronic information, automobile manufacturing, aerospace, etc.

Zhu Hengjun, manager of the project, said: "The production of EVA is confronted with high barriers, has long expansion period, and meets with many restrictions in conversion. Nevertheless, after striving to make technical breakthroughs, we have mastered a full set of independent technologies and have achieved the goal of stable mass production."

At present, the domestic EVA market is 60% reliant on imports. After completion, the project will lift the annual production capacity of EVA to 1 million tons, expand the global market share by about 20 percentage points from the current level, and effectively supply the the demand of the domestic solar industry.
