Market size + demand pain points

A certain company is an innovative technology company focusing on color safety. It synthesizes safe and healthy macromolecular colorants through technological innovation to promote the progress of chemistry and materials. Its products have great application prospects in various fields such as cosmetics, children's toys, wine bottle paint, coatings, leather, food coloring, nonlinear optical materials, etc.

Market size:

Based on the end-use industry, the colorant market can be divided into packaging, textiles, paper and printing, building and construction, automobiles, etc.; in 2022. the colorant market is expected to reach US$65.65 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 5% from 2017 to 2022; the global resin and macromolecular material market size was US$130 billion in 2016. and it is expected to reach US$200 billion by 2025.

Demand pain points:

Reactive dyes have serious problems of active base hydrolysis during dyeing and storage. Every year, 20%-50% of active dyes are lost due to active base hydrolysis, and a large amount of salt and alkali need to be added for dyeing promotion and color fixation, resulting in serious resource waste and environmental pollution. In addition, some aromatic amine azo dyes have potential carcinogenicity and sensitization, and their safety is worrying. It is difficult to have safe, easy-to-use and environmentally friendly integrated coloring functional products.

Core technology + product advantages

The company's research and development of macromolecular coloring technology involves synthesis, modification, formulation, process and other aspects. The research and development began in the 1990s and has been developed by more than a dozen postdoctoral research groups. The difficulty of technology imitation is higher than that of medicine imitation.

The company selected three high-performance materials, polyether, polyurethane and polyacrylic acid, as the base material, selected different colors for reaction, and added colors to the "genes" of these materials, which can form self-colored polymer materials with various characteristics or effects, with adjustable structure, variable hardness and softness, optional colors and fixed performance.

Technical advantages:

The first domestic technology: It solves the problems of poor migration resistance and color blocks in traditional mixed color matching schemes. Through chemical coloring, the colored coating will never fade, providing a more perfect color matching solution.

Health and safety: The color and other functional resins prepared by reaction methods such as copolymerization and polycondensation firmly bind the functional groups to the material itself without any harm to the human body and the environment, and are truly healthy and safe.

Green and environmentally friendly: The water-based polymer materials prepared based on water-based polymer synthesis technology are truly green and environmentally friendly.

Wide range of applications: It can be used in coatings, leather finishing agents, inks, nail polish, hair dyes, resin coloring, special coatings and other fields.

Macromolecular colorants are a new type of colored macromolecular polymers formed by introducing color genes into the main chain or side chain of macromolecules through certain chemical reactions. They have many characteristics such as high safety and will not be absorbed by the human body. They are a type of environmentally friendly products that save energy, reduce emissions and reduce consumption.

Colorant raw materials are functional raw materials with the following advantages:

•  Good migration resistance. There is no molecular migration of macromolecular colorants in the dyed material, and no color mixing pollution will occur.
•  Good heat resistance. The non-volatility, high melting point and low solubility of macromolecules at higher temperatures make them more resistant to high temperatures.
•  High safety. The molecular chain size is large, and it cannot penetrate the skin and will not be absorbed by the human body, reaching the oral safety level.
•  Strong solvent resistance. Macromolecular colorants are insoluble or have very low solubility in most common solvents and are not easy to fade.
•  Good compatibility. The molecular skeleton used has the same structure as the dyed polymer material, and the compatibility is greatly improved.
•  Green and environmentally friendly. The water-based polymer material prepared based on water-based polymer synthesis technology is truly green and environmentally friendly.
   

This technology has applied for more than 30 national invention patents; and has been reported and paid attention to by many authoritative media, such as CCTV's "News Network", "Focus Interview", "Entrepreneurship Heroes", People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, etc.

The company has won the first place in the 19th Tsinghua University Entrepreneurship Competition of "Kunshan Cup", the first prize in the 4th China Shaoxing Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition for High-level Talents at Home and Abroad in 2019. and the "Tsinghua Chuang+" seed fund support. The core team is composed of masters and doctors from Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, and USTC.

The company has always adhered to the business philosophy of "staying true to our original aspiration, keeping in mind our instructions, innovating technology, and leading the world", providing customers with advanced products and high-quality services. We are committed to becoming a leader in the macromolecular colorant industry, synthesizing safe and healthy macromolecular colorants through technological innovation to promote the progress of chemistry and materials, and become the Chinese core of color chemicals.
