The nuclear grade resin industry benefits from the development of the nuclear power industry and the future market prospects continue to improve.
Nuclear-grade resin is a type of ion exchange resin. It is produced and transformed through special refining processing technology. It is directly used in nuclear industry systems, water treatment systems and loop systems to purify water containing radioactive substances. It is not recycled. Regenerated and reused high-purity resin has extremely strict requirements on performance indicators such as exchange capacity, particle uniformity, compressive strength, transformation rate, and metal impurity content.
Since nuclear-grade resin is mainly used in the water supply and water treatment systems of the primary and secondary circuits of nuclear reactors, it is required to have a high regeneration transformation rate, extremely low impurity content, excellent resistance to radiation decomposition, etc., and the resin is required to be able to Working at higher operating flow rates and higher temperatures, the nuclear-grade resin industry has a higher barrier to entry.
The “2021-2026 Nuclear Grade Resin Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” issued by the Industrial Research Center shows that currently , only a few domestic companies such as Zhejiang Zhengguang Industrial Co., Ltd., Shanghai Yadong Nuclear Grade Resin Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Xidian Electric Power Resin Co., Ltd., and Xi’an Lanxiao Technology New Materials Co., Ltd. can produce high-stable nuclear grades. Resin capabilities, in the global market, the nuclear-grade resin industry is mainly monopolized by international giants such as Dow, and domestic companies have a low market share in the global nuclear-grade resin industry.
From the perspective of the development prospects of nuclear-grade resin, in recent years, my country’s nuclear power operating installed capacity has continued to expand, and nuclear power generation has continued to increase. In 2020, there were 48 commercial nuclear power units in mainland my country, with a total installed capacity of 49.88 million kilowatts; nuclear power generation It was 366.25 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%, accounting for approximately 4.94% of the country’s cumulative power generation. In the future, under the background of energy transformation, my country’s nuclear power installed capacity and nuclear power generation will continue to increase. Based on this, the demand for nuclear resin in the water treatment field of the nuclear industry will continue to increase, and the market development prospects of the nuclear resin industry will become increasingly promising.
Judging from the development trend of the nuclear-grade resin industry, companies represented by Zhejiang Zhengguang Co., Ltd. are currently continuing to innovate nuclear-grade resin products and continuously improve the uniform particle size, compressive strength, antioxidant performance, heat resistance, Radiation resistance, purity, transformation rate and other performance indicators to better reduce dirt deposition in the nuclear reactor loop system and meet the operational safety requirements of the loop system.
Industry analysts said that the development of high-end water treatment, especially the nuclear reactor water treatment system and loop system industry, will provide the nuclear grade resin industry with There is a good market space. In the future, with the continuous advancement of relevant favorable policies and localization, the increase of nuclear power unit projects under construction, and the further development of the nuclear power industry, the amount of nuclear-grade resin used in nuclear power unit water treatment and radioactive element separation and purification will continue to increase. Existing companies in the grade resin industry are expected to experience increased revenue.
