PC, namely polycarbonate, is one of the five general engineering plastics with good light transmittance and impact resistance. The annual consumption of PC materials is about 5 million tons, of which China accounts for nearly half. The main downstream application fields are electronic appliances, plates and automobiles, which account for about 80% of polycarbonate consumption. However, due to the high technical barriers, China's PC material industry is still a blank in Henan Province due to its small scale and long-term dependence on imports.

PC is made of chlorine produced in the process of salt chemical industry as raw material, which not only breaks the bottleneck of insufficient chlorine consumption in upstream industry, but also adds "new talent" to salt chemical families, so as to extend the industrial chain and strongly support the entire industry.
