Wanhua Chemical´s appearance will present solutions across new energy vehicles, sports footwear, high-end medical materials, and intelligent electronic appliances, demonstrating pioneering technologies and practical achievements in the rubber and plastics industry.

At this exhibition, Wanhua Chemical will showcase a number of innovative high-performance rubber and plastic materials.

In the automotive sector, Wanhua Chemical offers comprehensive material solutions for new energy vehicles. TPU provides high transparency and mechanical strength for automotive films, while PC and PMMA deliver excellent optical and weather-resistant properties, making them ideal for lighting applications. Additionally, Nylon 12 is used as a protective layer for new energy busbars, providing high-temperature and corrosion resistance, high insulation, and reliability — supporting enhanced safety and continuous production capabilities.

For the footwear industry, Wanhua Chemical will display innovative materials including POE, TPU, PEBA, and PA12, creating tech-driven and eco-friendly experiences for global consumers. PEBA, known for ultra-low density and outstanding rebound, acts as the “heart” of professional running shoes — delivering a lightweight, responsive, wind-like experience for runners worldwide.

In healthcare, Wanhua Chemical will debut PSU/PPSU, known for exceptional heat resistance, hydrolysis resistance, chemical stability, and compatibility with multiple sterilization methods, making them ideal for medical devices and baby care products.

The company will also present low-residue PVC pharmaceutical packaging, TPU & PVC infusion tubes, and TPU-based dental alignment solutions to advance healthcare innovation.

In addition to the aforementioned innovative rubber and plastic materials, Wanhua Chemical is also continuously exploring in the field of sustainable development.

Leveraging the bio-based platform, the company has launched bio-based TPU and PEBA materials applicable across footwear, consumer electronics. In plastic recycling, Wanhua Chemical employs innovative physical recycling methods to regenerate PC waste from diverse sources—including automotive lamps, water buckets, and panels—into rPC (recycled PC) materials. According to the company, this process not only reduces carbon emissions but also extends product lifecycles to meet the demands of multiple industries. Additionally, the recyclable TPU, containing 30% recycled content, achieves a 20% reduction in carbon footprint, the manufacturer claims. For chemical recycling, Wanhua says its PP/PE recycling process utilizes a combined thermal and catalytic cracking technique to enhance product quality, resolve coking issues, and enable industrial-scale integration. Furthermore, Wanhua Chemical boasts of having achieved breakthroughs in PC chemical recycling, successfully converting waste PC into bisphenol A, thereby providing a sustainable raw material source for the future.

Wanhua Chemical is committed to achieving carbon peak no later than 2030 and strives to achieve carbon neutrality by 2048. (*Scope 1+2) Through clean energy, energy efficiency, and innovative technology, it will continuously promote low-carbon development across the entire industry chain.

In the future, Wanhua Chemical will leverage the strengths of its global operating platform to further strengthen the "global R&D - regional innovation - local delivery" value chain. The company is committed to providing downstream industries worldwide with a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality rubber and plastic material solutions.
