In February of this year, Jilin Petrochemical Company exported its first batch of 12.6 tons of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber—specifically the binary ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM) grade—to Australia, marking a breakthrough entry into that market.
The J-0010 grade binary ethylene-propylene rubber is a key achievement of the company's decades of independent research and development into high-end lubricant viscosity index improvers. Its quality matches the advanced standards of similar international products; it has been exported continuously for ten years and is steadily sold to ten countries and regions, including India, Turkey, and Vietnam.
As the first and only domestic enterprise capable of producing both binary (EPM) and ternary (EPDM) ethylene-propylene rubbers, Jilin Petrochemical leverages an integrated "production-sales-R&D-application" mechanism. This approach has fostered a product portfolio characterized by differentiation, high-end positioning, and strong branding, resulting in year-over-year improvements in both product quality and market share.
Adhering to a market-oriented and quality-centric philosophy, Jilin Petrochemical continuously enhances the performance of its ethylene-propylene rubber through technological innovation and precise management. On the production front, the company has implemented measures such as deep purification of polymerization solvents and optimization of polymerization parameters to consistently ensure the quality uniformity of the J-0010 product. In R&D, the company utilizes its research center to conduct routine testing on five core performance indicators—including thickening power and 10% kinematic viscosity—thereby clarifying the relationship between performance enhancements and process parameters, which provides robust support for precise production control. On the market front, Jilin Petrochemical Import & Export Company has cultivated the international market for high-end lubricant viscosity index improvers by building a professional sales team and precisely aligning with customer needs, effectively boosting the product's global competitiveness. Following extensive preliminary market research and technical exchanges, the J-0010 product successfully entered the Australian market, achieving volume exports.
