Polyol phosphate esters (PAPE) have broad application prospects in the field of water treatment. my country’s industry development faces challenges

Polyol phosphate ester (PAPE), also known as nitrogen-containing polyol phosphate, has a chemical formula of PO4HR1R2 and is an important organic phosphate compound. Polyol phosphate ester appears as a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid and is soluble in water stabilizers such as inorganic phosphates, polycarboxylates, and zinc salts. As a chelating agent, it has broad application prospects in the field of water treatment.

The main raw materials of polyol phosphate include ethylene oxide, glycerin, phosphorus pentoxide, n-propanol, etc. Glycerin, also known as glycerin, is an important organic chemical raw material. Propylene peracetic acid oxidation method, propylene chlorination method, etc. are its main synthesis methods. As market demand grows, my country’s glycerol production continues to increase. In 2022, my country’s glycerol production will reach 796,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%. At present, my country’s glycerol industry as a whole is in short supply and its products are highly dependent on foreign products, which brings certain challenges to the development of the polyol phosphate industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Polyol Phosphate Ester (PAPE) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》shows that polyol phosphates are widely used in the field of water treatment, including industrial circulating water treatment, cooling water treatment, boiler water treatment, etc. In terms of industrial circulating water treatment, polyol phosphates have antibacterial, corrosion-resistant, anti-scaling and other functions, and can be used to clean industrial circulating water systems; in cooling water treatment, polyol phosphates have multiple polyoxyethylene groups. It has excellent corrosion inhibition effect and can be used as a corrosion and scale inhibitor in industrial cooling water treatment systems. The development of downstream industries is accelerating, driving the market demand for polyol phosphate esters in my country to become increasingly strong.

In recent years, the country has attached great importance to the development of the water treatment industry and has issued many policies to support it, including the “Industrial Wastewater Recycling Implementation Plan” jointly issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission and six other departments, and the “Industrial Wastewater Recycling Implementation Plan” jointly issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council. Opinions on Promoting Urbanization Construction with County Towns as an Important Carrier”, etc. In the future, driven by national policies, polyol phosphates will become an important water treatment agent, and the industry’s prosperity will further increase.

Major players in the global polyol phosphate market include Belgium’s Solvay Group, the U.S. Dow Chemical Company (DOW), and the U.S. Exxon Mobil Oil Company (Exxon Mobil), etc. The main manufacturers of polyol phosphate esters in my country include Kamik Technology, Jianghai Environmental Protection, Taihe Technology, etc. Among them, Taihe Technology’s production capacity ranks among the leaders in my country.

Industry analysts said that polyol phosphates have broad application prospects in the field of water treatment. With the growth of downstream demand, its industry development trend Keep improving. There are many polyol phosphate manufacturers in my country, but due to factors such as insufficient supply of raw materials, there is still a gap in production capacity and output compared with overseas developed countries, and high-end demand is highly dependent on imports.
