Tiangang's Low-Basicity Light Stabilizer Wins the 2022 Ringier Plastics Technology Innovation Award

Recently, Tiangang Group won the "2022 Plastics Industry — Ringier Technology Innovation Award" with its "Tiangang N-alkyl low-basicity polymeric hindered amine light stabilizer series."

The "Tiangang N-alkyl low-basicity light stabilizer" was initially finalized around 2010. Subsequently, in close cooperation with customers, multiple years of field application experiments were continued, refining many detailed product indicators and completing a large amount of certification work, before it was finally officially launched to the market for scaled application.

Its launch was not a matter of luck but the result of extensive experimental screening. Tiangang Group began R&D on new light-stabilizer structures around 2000, and to date has synthesized hundreds of light stabilizers with different structures and conducted thousands of artificial accelerated-aging and natural-exposure experiments for verification. Over 20 years, through large-scale experimental screening guided by theory, a few products with comprehensive advantages were confirmed for industrial development. This is work requiring patience and very long-term investment: a new chemical structure must not only have excellent performance but also perform well economically, in production feasibility, and in toxicological and environmental impact. Therefore, Tiangang Group has established a complete R&D system, forming a complete R&D chain from theoretically guided molecular structure design, pilot synthesis, and comprehensive application performance evaluation to industrial scale-up.

Liu Gang, Executive Vice President of Tiangang Group, said: "Domestic R&D and production of light stabilizers started relatively late. As one of the earliest national high-tech enterprises in China dedicated to R&D and production of high-performance polymer additives, Tiangang has always been committed to the R&D and industrialization of frontier polymer material technologies. This award is both an affirmation of Tiangang's past achievements and an encouragement for Tiangang's future. We will continue to base ourselves on innovative development, optimize our product structure, adhere to a product-differentiation route, and strive to launch more high-performance, high-cost-performance technologies and products for the industry, promoting the transformation and upgrading from 'Made in China' to 'Intelligent Manufacturing in China.'"

After thirty years of development, Tiangang Group has accumulated a large amount of original technology and successively developed multiple new products with unique chemical structures, two of which have obtained CAS numbers, filling gaps in domestic products and rising to internationally leading levels among similar foreign products.

Beijing Tiangang Auxiliary Co., Ltd. is a national-level SRDI "Little Giant" enterprise focused on R&D and production of high-performance polymer additives, and has built the "China Light Industry Engineering Technology Research Center for Plastic Product Weathering." It is one of China's earlier enterprises specialized in the development and production of anti-aging functional material technology. Tiangang's products enjoy a high reputation in both domestic and international markets and hold a leading position in key markets; its products are exported to Europe, North America, Asia, and many other major countries and regions, and are selected by numerous internationally renowned enterprises.
