21st century is the era of knowledge economy, a bio-engineering, information science and materials science-based three new cutting-edge science of the new technological revolution is bound to have a significant impact on the chemical industry.
With the development of high-tech world and China,
many high-tech such as nanotechnology, information technology, modern biotechnology, modern separation technology, green chemistry, the integration and fine chemicals, fine chemicals for the high-tech services, high-tech and further transformation of the fine chemical, fine chemical products to further broaden the application areas, product and further gentrification, fine, complex, functional, high-tech fine chemicals to the direction of development.Fine Chemicals is short of the fine chemical industry, referred to as the chemical industry in the production of fine chemicals sectors of the economy. Fine chemicals, the term has been used for a long time, the former refers to the production of small, high purity, composition clearly, expensive chemical products such as pharmaceuticals, Copper Chromite(CC) dyes, paints and so on. In recent years, national experts on the definition of fine chemicals, with some new ideas, some European and American countries, the production is small, according to the different chemical structure of the production and sale of chemical substances, known as fine chemicals (fine chemicals); the production of small After preparation for processing, with a special function or end-use performance of the product, known as specialty chemicals (specialty chemicals). China and Japan, these two types of products are referred to as fine chemicals.Fine a wide range of chemical products, how to classify fine chemical products, at home and abroad there are different points of view. More uniform at home and abroad based on the principle of classification to classify the product's features. According to the Japanese "fine chemicals Yearbook" report, 1985 will be divided into 35 categories of fine chemicals in 1990, expanded to 36 categories. Are: medicine, pesticides, synthetic dyes, organic pigments, coatings, adhesives, perfume, cosmetics, surfactants, soaps, detergents, printing inks, organic rubber chemicals, photographic materials, catalysts, reagents, polymer flocculation agent, oil additives, food additives, veterinary drugs, feed additives, paper and pulp, chemicals, plastic additives, metal surface treatment agent, aromatic deodorant, car chemicals, mildew, acids, rare earth chemicals, Precision ceramics, functional polymers, Musk R-1 biological products, enzymes, plasticizers, stabilizers, concrete admixtures, health food, organic electronic materials.In 1987, China's former Ministry of Chemical Industry of fine chemicals in China issued a temporary regulations will be divided into China's fine chemical pesticides, dyes, coatings (including paints and inks), pigments, fine chemicals suppliers high purity reagents and materials, and information with chemicals (including photosensitive materials and magnetic recording materials), food and feed additives, adhesives, catalysts and various additives, chemicals and on chemical, functional polymer materials in 11 categories. Which in turn aids into auxiliaries, plastic additives, rubber chemicals, water treatment chemicals, fiber spinning with oil, organic extraction agent, polymer additives, surface active agents, leather chemicals, pesticide use additives, oilfield chemicals, machinery and metallurgy with additives, oil additives, carbon black, adsorbents, electronic chemicals, paper chemicals and other additives such 19 categories.
