Intermediates and additives

Chemical Intermediates‌ are key intermediate products in chemical synthesis, used to produce fine chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyes. They bridge raw materials and final products, optimizing molecular structures through chemical reactions. Common types include alcohols (e.g., ethylene glycol), ketones (e.g., acetone), and aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde), widely applied in plastics, pharmaceuticals, and fragrance industries. China is a major production and trade hub, with low technical barriers and significant cost advantages. Future trends emphasize environmental protection, efficiency, and innovation, such as green processes and biocatalysis. Production requires attention to safety and environmental protection, including handling toxic or flammable substances.
