With decades of dedicated experience in the industry, Baling Petrochemical has solidified its position as a leading domestic elastomer manufacturer.
As a core new materials production base under Sinopec, Baling Petrochemical focuses on high-end new materials such as synthetic rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, and fine chemicals. It is one of the earliest companies in China to invest in the research and industrialization of thermoplastic elastomers. Unlike the large-scale mass production model of ordinary chemical companies, Baling Petrochemical has consistently adhered to a development path of "independent technology research and development, process iteration, and in-depth quality cultivation." Relying on a national-level R&D platform and years of process accumulation, it has overcome a series of bottleneck technologies, including elastomer molecular structure regulation, precise hydrogenation, and stable polymerization, winning numerous authoritative honors such as the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, thus establishing its leading position in the industry.
After decades of iterative upgrades, Baling Petrochemical's thermoplastic elastomer production capacity, output, and product categories have consistently ranked among the top in China, forming a three-core product matrix of SBS, SEBS, and SIS, covering all fields from general civilian use to industrial manufacturing and high-end special applications. With its core advantages of high cost-effectiveness, stable quality, and rapid delivery, Baling Petrochemical has not only deeply empowered the domestic manufacturing industry but also exported to many countries and regions worldwide, becoming the preferred domestic elastomer brand for customers both at home and abroad, completely breaking the long-standing reliance on imports for high-end thermoplastic elastomers.
Three Core Product Matrix, Adapting to All Industry Needs
The core advantage of Baling Petrochemical's thermoplastic elastomers compared to ordinary competitors lies in its precise product segmentation and ultimate performance adaptability. Each flagship product is optimized and upgraded to address specific industry pain points, balancing ease of processing, stability in use, and environmental friendliness.
1. SBS Styrene Thermoplastic Elastomer: The King of Cost-Effectiveness in Civil Products
As a classic flagship product of Baling Petrochemical, SBS is a core raw material in the fields of shoemaking, plastic products, modified plastics, and asphalt modification. The flagship grade YH-815 employs a star-shaped structural design and a 15% standard pre-filled oil formula, overcoming the performance shortcomings of traditional linear SBS. It significantly improves creep resistance, bending resistance, and tackiness, making shoe soles and adhesive products made with it less prone to collapse and detachment over long-term use, resulting in significantly enhanced durability. Furthermore, the pre-filled oil process eliminates the need for secondary oil mixing by customers, allowing for direct material input and processing, greatly simplifying the production process and reducing equipment and labor costs. It is compatible with various processing techniques such as injection molding, extrusion, and hot melt coating, making it highly versatile and a benchmark product in the civilian elastomer market.
2. SEBS Hydrogenated Thermoplastic Elastomer: A Core Player in High-End Industrial Manufacturing
SEBS is the core representative of Baling Petrochemical's high-end elastomers. With its excellent weather resistance, temperature resistance, resilience, and anti-aging properties, it is primarily targeted at high-end industrial and outdoor applications. Its various specialty grades each have their own strengths: YH-604 boasts ultra-low compression set, exhibiting rapid rebound and minimal deformation after a 70℃ high-temperature long-term test, making it perfectly suited for precision components such as seals and shock absorbers; YH-533, leveraging its independently developed and controllable hydrogenation technology, achieves a high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution, exhibiting outstanding heat resistance, ozone resistance, and UV resistance, making it a preferred raw material for automotive sealing strips and outdoor cable sheaths; the 803A grade is specifically optimized for injection molding performance, with a uniform molecular weight distribution, effectively avoiding shrinkage fluctuations and surface defects, and is widely used in automotive interiors and high-end daily necessities manufacturing.
Compared to ordinary elastomers, Baling SEBS can achieve long-term stable use at 100℃, with a high-temperature decomposition temperature exceeding 270℃, exhibiting extremely low performance degradation under harsh environments, and requiring no vulcanization processing, allowing for the recycling and reuse of scrap materials, aligning with the current trend of green and low-carbon industrial development.
3. SIS Styrene Isoprene Elastomer: A Core Raw Material for the Adhesive Industry
Baling Petrochemical's SIS series products (YH-1106, YH-1128, etc.) are white, porous granular materials with excellent thermoplasticity and melt flowability. They exhibit excellent compatibility with tackifying resins and are safe, non-toxic, and environmentally compliant. They are mainly used in hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives, solvent-based adhesives, plastic modification, and flexible printing plates. They are ideal raw materials for packaging tapes, hygiene product adhesives, and high-end rubber and plastic modification. With stable bonding performance and molding effects, they occupy a mainstream market share in the domestic mid-to-high-end adhesive raw materials market.
Four Core Advantages, Forging a Benchmark Quality for Domestic Elastomers
In the fiercely competitive elastomer market, Baling Petrochemical's long-term leadership stems from its irreplaceable comprehensive advantages, precisely addressing the industry's four major pain points: production, application, cost, and environmental protection.
First, independent technology and controllable performance. Leveraging its self-developed coupling-based hydrogenation core technology, Baling thermoplastic elastomers achieve precise control over their molecular structure, ensuring balanced and stable mechanical properties, weather resistance, and processing performance from the source. Batch variations are minimal, eliminating quality fluctuations in mass production.
Secondly, they offer exceptional processing adaptability. The entire product line is compatible with mainstream injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and coating equipment, allowing for direct production without production line modifications. This makes them suitable for both simple production in small and medium-sized factories and precision manufacturing in large enterprises, resulting in low barriers to entry and high production efficiency.
Thirdly, they are green, low-carbon, and recyclable. Unlike traditional rubber, which requires vulcanization and is non-recyclable, Baling thermoplastic elastomers undergo no vulcanization process. Production scraps and waste products can be recycled, significantly reducing raw material loss and solid waste emissions, meeting environmental standards for high-end industries such as new energy, automotive, and medical.
Fourthly, they offer a stable and efficient supply chain. As a leading state-owned enterprise production base in China, Baling Petrochemical boasts ample inventory, stable spot reserves, nationwide logistics coverage, and short delivery cycles. It also provides comprehensive technical after-sales support and can customize optimized solutions to meet customer product needs, offering a cost-effectiveness far exceeding that of imported counterparts.
