energy consumption and emissions.

intestinal bacteria, pyogenic coccus, pathogenic yeasts and spores.

food and drinking water disinfection, water purification, environmental

disinfection, animal husbandry, aquaculture, among others.

The product is recognized as a national essential new product by five

ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Science and Technology of

the People's Republic of China.

In 2020, when Wuhan ran out of disinfectant supplies to prevent and control the

novel coronavirus, Sinopec imminently instructed the Company to adjust

production and ensure a sufficient supply.

On January 24, 2020, Chinese New Year's Eve, Sinopec-SK Wuhan Petrochemical

Company dispatched eight 30-ton platform trucks to transport 200 tons of

donated disinfectant supplies in 500-kilometre roundtrips from Jianghan

Oilfield to Wuhan.

the country and has been included in the list of manufacturers of epidemic

prevention disinfection materials by Hubei Province.
