About Amino-Chem
Founded in 2002, Amino-Chem is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Longsheng Group based in the Hangzhou Bay Shangyu Economic and Technological Development Area, Zhejiang Province, China. The company manufactures aromatic amines, phenolic intermediates and related resin products, including m-, o- and p-phenylenediamine, resorcinol, m-aminophenol, 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, 3-amino-4-methoxy-acetanilide, ammonium sulfate as well as modified resorcinol-formaldehyde resins (AN220, AN2101, AN2102). The core processes include continuous nitration, continuous and batch catalytic liquid-phase hydrogenation at low pressure, high-pressure hydrolysis and rectification, controlled via DCS-controlled processes and plants. Through a trading portfolio, intermediates for paints, pigments, agrochemicals and advanced materials (including DCDPS, 4,4-DDS, TPP, BMI, NPMI, DMAC) are also offered. The group consists of seven subsidiaries with production sites in Zhejiang as well as offices in Shanghai, Essen (Intertie GmbH) and Houston. Amino-Chem employs more than 1000 staff and supplies customers in the paints and pigment industry, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, the rubber/tire industry and engineering polymers worldwide.
