    3. UL US certification and EU food-contact certification obtained for direct application in food packaging UV inks.

    (3) Bio-based TMPTA Raw Material Route Breakthrough: Full Industrial Chain Pilot Production Passed Apple Supply Chain Certification

    Breakthrough Overview: Chifeng Ruiyang (core supporting capacity supplier for domestic Top5 brands) launched China’s first pilot production line for bio-based TMPTA derived from corn starch derivatives with 41.3% biocarbon content. It is China’s first mass-exportable bio-based TMPTA grade with Apple supply chain environmental raw material approval.

    Downstream Purchaser Benefits:

    1. European and American end brands (3C plastic shell UV coatings, eco-friendly 3D printing resins) meet EU carbon footprint accounting standards with carbon credit deductions for end-product carbon labeling applications.

    2. VOC emission from cured bio-based monomers is 38% lower than petrochemical-based equivalents, complying with the updated EU 2026 low-VOC environmental legislation.

    (4) Special Modified Grade for UV-LED: Low Curing Energy Consumption Adapted to 365nm Cold Light Source Curing

    Breakthrough Overview: Guangzhou Tianci and Jiangsu Yangnong optimized molecular terminal structures to launch modified TMPTA grades dedicated to LED curing. Curing speed under 365nm LED light sources increased by 42%; compared with traditional mercury lamp-compatible TMPTA, downstream curing equipment power consumption dropped by 35%. MEHQ polymerization inhibitor controllable range: 50-150ppm (vs. 100-400ppm for standard grades).

    Downstream Purchaser Benefits:

    1. Overseas printing and wood coating manufacturers switching to LED production lines achieve reduced energy costs per ton of finished products.

    2. Low-inhibitor formulas prevent yellowing of light-colored UV topcoats, lifting yield of white and transparent topcoats by 6%~9%.

    (5) Low-color Low-odor Refining Optimization: Full Closed Inert Gas Protected Rectification for High-end Nail UV Gel Cosmetics

    Breakthrough Overview: Jiangsu Yangnong upgraded full production lines with nitrogen-sealed rectification systems, stabilizing standard industrial grade APHA color ≤25 and cutting odor volatile values by 57% compared with legacy products, directly matching European and American cosmetic-grade raw material indicators.
