4.2 University & Research Institute Joint R&D Cooperation
We establish long-term joint research projects with multiple domestic universities and chemical environmental research academies, focusing on three core research directions for H Acid 80% and other dye intermediates:
- Green catalytic synthesis process optimization: Replace traditional high-pollution reduction routes with low-waste clean catalytic technology, lower by-product generation rate.
- Product quality upgrading: Minimize harmful isomer impurities to enhance dye color fastness and reduce post-dye wastewater chroma for downstream textile factories.
- Comprehensive waste treatment technology: Develop integrated recycling system for production wastewater, waste acid and solid salt residues, realize resource recovery and meet global strict environmental export standards.
- Environmental & Production AdvantagesAll production wastewater goes through multi-stage neutralization, membrane filtration and evaporation recycling; solid waste is classified and resourcefully treated. Our green production technology greatly reduces carbon footprint, making our H Acid 80% qualified for EU textile import audit, without customs detention risks caused by excessive pollutant residues.
5. Key Product Advantages of Our H Acid 80%

8. FAQ
Q1: What is H Acid 80% mainly used for?
A: H Acid 80% (CAS 90-20-0) is a critical naphthalene dye intermediate, mainly used to synthesize three major categories of textile azo dyes: reactive dyes for cotton fabrics, acid dyes for wool & silk, and direct dyes for cotton, paper and leather coloring. It can also be applied to produce water-based ink pigments and partial laboratory analytical reagents.
Q2: What is the advantage of your factory’s H Acid 80% compared with other suppliers?
A: Our factory covers 100 mu with 150 full-time staff and 30 professional technical R&D engineers. We cooperate with multiple universities to develop green H Acid synthesis technology, with strict control of isomer impurities far below industry average standards. Meanwhile, we realize closed-loop recycling of production wastewater and solid waste, fully meeting strict global environmental export standards, providing stable high-purity products and professional downstream dye formula technical support.
Q3: Is your H Acid 80% REACH registered for bulk export to European textile manufacturers?
A: Yes, our H Acid 80% substance holds complete EU REACH supporting documents and full batch SVHC test reports. We can provide official compliance declaration, wastewater treatment certification and HPLC quality certificate to support customs inspection in EU member countries without detention risk.
Q4: What is the impact of high impurity isomers (chromotropic acid, T-acid) in H Acid on finished dyes?
A: Excessive isomer impurities will cause uneven dye color shade, reduce color fastness of textile products, increase wastewater chroma after dyeing and raise downstream factory waste water treatment cost. Our H Acid 80% strictly limits all harmful isomers below 1.5% maximum, effectively avoiding these production defects for dye manufacturers.
Q5: Can you provide free test samples of H Acid 80% before bulk order? Do you offer volume discount?
A: We supply small lab test samples for dye factory coupling experiment and quality verification. Competitive bulk wholesale prices are offered for long-term cooperative large dye manufacturing enterprises. Our 30-person professional technical team can provide free customized dye synthesis formula optimization guidance.
Q6: What is the shelf life of sealed H Acid 80% powder? How to store it properly?
A: Under tightly sealed cool and dry warehouse storage conditions, the shelf life of H Acid 80% reaches 24 months. Long-term damp storage will lead to powder agglomeration and slightly reduce coupling activity, so rain-proof and moisture-proof storage is required.
