1984 and 1990 set up offices in Beijing and Shanghai respectively.
1992 Bouniemen Polyurethane (China) Co., Ltd. was established in Shanghai, and a polyol mixing system factory and technical service center with an annual output of 30,000 tons were set up in Shanghai, and customer service centers were set up in Shanghai and Hong Kong to vigorously promote the new technology of low-fluorine and fluorine-free foaming.
1In March, 1994, Imperial Chemical Industry Company invested150,000 in Guangzhou, and established a joint venture with Hong Kong capital and Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Industrial Development Corporation. As its first paint production base in China, 20 15, the second paint production plant is being prepared in Shanghai. It also plans to cooperate with Chongqing Iron and Steel Company to build a titanium dioxide production plant with a capacity of 25,000 tons/year in Chongqing within two years and a second production line with a capacity of 50,000 tons/year within ten years, and sign agreements with Japan Polyurethane Industry Corporation (ICI holds 25% of the shares) and Shanghai Dayuan Chemical Plant to build a world-class diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) production plant in Shanghai at the beginning of the next century.
In terms of technology transfer, pressurized methanol technology was provided to Sichuan Vinylon Factory on 1979, and purified terephthalic acid plants with technical construction capacity of 75,000 tons/year and 225,000 tons/year have been provided to Urumqi Petrochemical Complex of China Petrochemical Company and Liaoyang Petrochemical Fiber Company respectively since 1992. It also transferred synthetic ammonia technology to Hainan. ICI is optimistic about the future polyurethane market in China. 1June, 1996, ICI opened the largest system factory in China, which can provide instant world-class services to local users.
In addition, ICI has a subsidiary in Taiwan Province Province, China, which is engaged in the production of coatings, polyurethane, PTA and industrial explosives, and sells ICI products. 1992 A 350,000-ton PTA plant was built with an investment of150 million pounds. Now it is planned to expand to 400,000 tons per year. Next to it, a 450,000-500,000-ton/year PTA plant with new technology is under construction as scheduled, which will be the largest single plant in the world. With the development of ICI's business in Asia, there will be more opportunities to cooperate with China enterprises.
