National Science and Technology formally approved to Bengbu City

Recently, the National Science and Technology formally approved to Bengbu City, nation-building glass, new materials, high-tech industrial base. This marks the city of glass and new materials industries have been formally incorporated into national development planning strategy for high-tech industry overall layout of the city of glass and new materials to enhance technological innovation in support of industrial capability, and actively undertaking transfer of industries, extend the industrial chain, and enhance value-added products, to promote the development of industry agglomeration of great significance.
Industry base construction is the full high-tech industries in guiding and leading role in promoting regional economic leap-forward development of an effective form, with integrated features and agglomeration effects. The city as an old industrial city, in the glass and glass deep-processing has some advantages. In 2004, in order to further enhance the city's glass industry's technical standards and grades, and industrial restructuring, industrial-scale gathering, the city government has proposed the development of glass and new materials high-tech industrial base objectives, and in 2006 completed provincial high-tech industries base.
In recent years, the city in promoting independent innovation and comprehensive reform pilot area in the process of building around the new material to promote the glass industry cluster development, and targeting of new display materials, photovoltaic glass and other industries focus on the development direction, continues to accelerate progress in independent innovation and equipment, actively expand cooperation to accelerate industrial upgrading. The city formed a glass and products based, optical glass, special float glass, information display materials, conductive film glass and photovoltaic glass led to the glass equipment manufacturing to complement the industrial development system, and encouraged Chinese Kai Sheng, Fang Xing Technology, Huayi conductive film, the Air Sanxin such as industry leader. Obtained spherical silica powder, glass hollow beads, solar ultra-white glass, anti-reflective glass, solar glass substrate, amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells and a number of scientific and technological achievements, to declare all kinds of patents more than 100 pieces. Among them, solar ultra-white glass in 2007 was state-owned enterprises a new record of major Innovation Award No. 4, breaking the foreign long-term technical blockade. ITO conductive film glass, spherical silica powder and other products has reached the technological level of the leading domestic level, the corresponding output of the product are among the highest in the country for many years.

At present, the glass industry has developed new materials for the city's focus on pillar industries, a total of 29 enterprises above designated size, the state high-tech enterprise 7, an innovation-oriented enterprises, with national, provincial wide range of innovative platforms 7, industrial R & D capabilities resident in leading domestic level. Equipped with an annual output of six million weight boxes of float glass, 110,000 tons of special glass, 11,000 tons superfine powder materials, 20 million conductive film glass, solar glass, 1.2 million weight cases, and 40 million square meters production capacity of TCO coated glass , has become an important national information display materials, photovoltaic glass production base.
