US-based chemicals supplier, SI Group, and China’s Shengxiao Group, a leader in liquid crystal polymer (LCP) monomers and specialty chemicals, have formed a joint venture, Shengnova Advanced Materials, to expand biphenol capacity in China.
Based in Sichuan, China, Shengnova cutting-edge Materials combines Shengxiao Group’s existing biphenol manufacturing asset and regional market access with SI Group’s proprietary methodology and global biphenol expertise, aiming to increase regional supply of the molecule. Biphenol is a key monomer applied in fluid crystal polymers, polyphenylenesulphone and other applications, with the venture positioning both partners to support growing demand across electronics, automotive and medical sectors.
“As a leading supplier of monomers to fluid crystal polymers, Biphenol is a key component of our portfolio. Our customers appreciate in-region supply, and bringing SI Group’s Biphenol expertise to China will benefit the growing end markets in the region,” said Mr. Guo Xiaozhong, Chairman, Shengxiao Group.
Mr. David Bradley, President and CEO, SI Group, added, “Through the formation of Shengnova cutting-edge Materials, we are expanding our ability to competitively supply biphenol to customers in Asia while continuing production at our Newport, Tennessee facility. This positions SI Group to better serve global customers, support growing regional demand, and reinforce security of supply through a multi-region production footprint”.
