上海市政協(xié)副主席王新奎、松江區(qū)副區(qū)長(zhǎng)張培榮、美國(guó)駐上??傤I(lǐng)事館首席商務(wù)領(lǐng)事白瑞基(William Brekke),以及道康寧的客戶、合作伙伴及員工共同參加了慶祝儀式。這次松江工廠的擴(kuò)建標(biāo)志著道康寧在中國(guó)發(fā)展的又一個(gè)重要里程碑。采用無(wú)溶劑有機(jī)硅產(chǎn)品正在成為紙張離型劑工業(yè)的一個(gè)全球性趨勢(shì),此次擴(kuò)建也彰顯了道康寧不斷發(fā)掘硅潛力的承諾,致力于用創(chuàng)新惠及世界各地人群。
道康寧大中華區(qū)總裁張康明(Jeremy Burks)表示:“中國(guó)市場(chǎng)一直是道康寧成功的重要貢獻(xiàn)者。我們?cè)谥袊?guó)不斷擴(kuò)大生產(chǎn)能力并持續(xù)創(chuàng)新,從而為客戶提供量身定制的產(chǎn)品和解決方案。道康寧在中國(guó)本地生產(chǎn)的無(wú)溶劑有機(jī)硅離型劑產(chǎn)品再一次證明了我們向客戶提供先進(jìn)的產(chǎn)品和解決方案,并且始終致力于可持續(xù)的負(fù)責(zé)任的發(fā)展。”

自1973年進(jìn)入中國(guó)市場(chǎng)以來(lái),道康寧已經(jīng)為中國(guó)帶來(lái)了無(wú)數(shù)的創(chuàng)新解決方案。至今,公司在中國(guó)的投資總額已經(jīng)超過(guò)20億美元,并建立了三個(gè)主要基地:今天慶祝擴(kuò)建的道康寧松江工廠是道康寧的亞洲特殊化學(xué)品生產(chǎn)樞紐;位于江蘇省張家港市的道康寧有機(jī)硅綜合生產(chǎn)基地是世界一流、中國(guó)規(guī)模最大的有機(jī)硅綜合生產(chǎn)基地的重要組成;以及位于上海張江的道康寧中國(guó)商務(wù)技術(shù)中心。這三個(gè)基地優(yōu)勢(shì)互補(bǔ)、相輔相成,為客戶提供完整全面的本地創(chuàng)新、生產(chǎn)和服務(wù)。如此充分整合的本地供應(yīng)鏈?zhǔn)箍蛻裟軌蚴芤嬗诟煽康谋镜刂圃旌凸?yīng),縮短產(chǎn)品交貨時(shí)間,減少因越洋運(yùn)輸而產(chǎn)生的成本,進(jìn)而減少運(yùn)輸產(chǎn)生的碳足跡。
道康寧特殊化學(xué)品業(yè)務(wù)全球副總裁麥榮德(Patrick McLeod) 指出:“道康寧在全球已經(jīng)有近七十年的歷史了。無(wú)論在哪里運(yùn)營(yíng),我們都致力于獨(dú)特的、卓越的客戶服務(wù),并因此保持公司成功。隨著紙張離型劑工業(yè)的全球趨勢(shì)從溶劑型技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)向采用無(wú)溶劑產(chǎn)品,我們?cè)谥袊?guó)的綜合、全面的服務(wù)能夠完美地滿足這方面的客戶需求。此外,我們?cè)谥袊?guó)進(jìn)行的本地生產(chǎn)和提供的綜合服務(wù),能幫助客戶在其生產(chǎn)過(guò)程中融入創(chuàng)新方案、提高生產(chǎn)效率,提升細(xì)分市場(chǎng)份額并在國(guó)際市場(chǎng)上更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。”
“通過(guò)融合高效的節(jié)能設(shè)計(jì)和技術(shù)以及提高原材料使用效率的先進(jìn)工藝,我們致力于將環(huán)境、健康和安全(EHS)原則貫穿于道康寧的所有業(yè)務(wù)活動(dòng)中,繼續(xù)為行業(yè)的可持續(xù)的、負(fù)責(zé)任的發(fā)展作出貢獻(xiàn)。” 麥榮德補(bǔ)充道。
道康寧松江工廠于1997年建成,占地12公頃,是公司在中國(guó)第一家生產(chǎn)工廠。該生產(chǎn)基地的產(chǎn)品包括乳液、密封膠、粘合劑和密封劑,服務(wù)美容護(hù)理、電子、建筑、紙張以及紡織品和皮革等許多行業(yè)。此次松江工廠擴(kuò)建使客戶能采用本地化生產(chǎn)的無(wú)溶劑有機(jī)硅離型劑產(chǎn)品,變得更環(huán)保,而且能夠更好地符合環(huán)境法規(guī)的要求,從而為壓敏工業(yè)帶來(lái)了更多的益處。
道康寧嚴(yán)格遵循責(zé)任關(guān)懷®原則,采取多項(xiàng)措施以持續(xù)減少松江工廠的廢棄物排放,降低對(duì)環(huán)境的影響,實(shí)現(xiàn)資源回收利用。例如,在整個(gè)新建的制造系統(tǒng)中,最大限度地減少有機(jī)溶劑的使用,降低了公司的總體碳足跡,同時(shí)為客戶提供了更環(huán)保的無(wú)溶劑有機(jī)硅離型劑產(chǎn)品。此外,松江工廠還使用了閉路蒸汽回收系統(tǒng),回收和再利用生產(chǎn)過(guò)程中產(chǎn)生的蒸汽,這不但降低了產(chǎn)生額外蒸汽的需求,而且減少了生產(chǎn)基地總體水和能源的消耗。

Dow Corning (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.’s Songjiang Site Ushers in New Era of Advanced Manufacturing
World-class Site Enhances Efficiency for Regional Customers and Bolsters EHS Commitments
Songjiang, Shanghai – Dow Corning (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Dow Corning Corporation, a global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, today celebrated the completion of its multi-million USD expansion at the Shanghai Songjiang site that marks one of the largest single investments in China’s paper release industry to date. The newly established solventless silicone manufacturing system demonstrates the company’s continued effort to increasing efficiency in the regional supply chain and brings environmental and financial benefits for customers across China and the Asia Pacific region because no solvents are used.
Supported by Mr. Wang Xinkui, Vice Chairman of Shanghai People's Political Consultative Committee; Mr. Zhang Peirong, Songjiang District Vice Governor; William Brekke, Principal Commercial Officer at U.S. Consulate General Shanghai as well as customers in the region and Dow Corning employees, the celebration signifies a key milestone in the company’s development in China and represents Dow Corning’s continued commitment to unleashing the power of silicon as the use of solventless silicone products become a global trend.
“The China market has been a significant contributor to our success and expanding our manufacturing presence allows us to continue innovating and providing tailor-made products and solutions for our customers here,” said Jeremy Burks, Dow Corning Greater China President. “Our solventless silicone system is a great example of the cutting-edge of technology we offer our customers and which also supports our commitment to sustainable and responsible development.”
Since entering the China market in 1973, Dow Corning’s solutions have brought numerous innovations to China. To date, its combined investment in China is more than $2 billion USD and the company’s three major facilities in China - the newly expanded manufacturing Songjiang site that serves as the Asia Specialty Chemicals Hub; Zhangjiagang’s world-class manufacturing facility that is an integral part of China’s largest integrated silicone production site as well as Shanghai’s Dow Corning China Business and Technology Center – are pivotal to providing a complete and complementary local service offering. This fully integrated local supply chain enables customers to benefit from a more reliable supply of locally produced products; a reduced lead time on products’ delivery; and lower costs and a diminished carbon footprint due to reduced trans-ocean freight costs.
“Dow Corning has been operating for nearly seven decades worldwide and our continued success is attributed to our unique global commitment to excellence in customer service wherever we operate,” said Patrick McLeod, Dow Corning Business Vice President, Specialty Chemicals. “With the global industry trend shifting from solvent-based technology toward adopting solventless products, our integrated service in China is perfectly positioned to meet this demand. Furthermore, our local supply and integrated service offering in China allow our regional customers to increase their market segment share and better compete in the world marketplace by enabling them to incorporate innovations into their product lifecycles and production efficiency.”
“Through incorporating highly efficient energy designs and technology and advanced processes for raw material efficiency, we are committed to applying environmental, health and safety (EHS) principles throughout our business so that we can continue contributing to our industry’s sustainable and responsible development.” added McLeod.
The 12-hectare Songjiang site was established in 1997 and was Dow Corning’s first manufacturing plant in China. Serving a number of industries, including beauty care, electronics, construction, paper as well as textile and leather, the site today manufactures products ranging from emulsions to sealants, adhesives and encapsulants. The newly established solventless silicone manufacturing system brings further benefits to the local paper industry. By enabling local manufacturers to incorporate solventless silicone release coating products into their production processes, it makes their production has less impact on the environment while better meeting environmental regulations because of the lack of solvent.
Strictly adhering to the Responsible Care® principles, a number of measures have been adopted to enable Dow Corning to continue minimizing waste, reducing environmental footprint through less use of solvents and recycling resources at the site. For example, the minimization of organic solvent throughout the newly installed manufacturing system has enabled Dow Corning to reduce its overall impact on the environment. A close-loop steam recovery system has also been adopted to recycle and reuse steam generated as part of the production process, which not only decreases the need to generate additional steam, but also reduces overall water and energy consumption on-site.
