Recently, Weifang Jiangchang Chemical Co., Ltd. has achieved another significant milestone in the field of traffic maintenance, successfully establishing a strategic partnership with the Ningxia Xi’an Expressway Management Center and signing a formal procurement agreement for de-icing agent supply this winter and next spring. This collaboration marks further expansion of Weifang Jiangchang Chemical’s presence in the Northwest market, as its high-quality de-icing agents and industrial salt product line have once again earned high recognition and trust from a national-level transportation hub management authority.
As a key enterprise within the Weifang Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone—the national marine chemical base—Weifang Jiangchang Chemical stood out in this bidding process thanks to its superior product quality and extensive industry experience. Under the terms of the agreement, Weifang Jiangchang Chemical will supply de-icing agents and industrial salt products to key road sections under the jurisdiction of the Ningxia Xi’an Expressway Management Center, with a total procurement volume of 1,200 tons, including 800 tons of environmentally friendly de-icing agents and 400 tons of high-quality industrial salt. These supplies will primarily address icy and snowy road conditions during the winter months, ensuring safe and smooth traffic flow on the region’s expressways throughout the cold season.
The Ningxia Xi’an Expressway Management Center is part of the transportation sector, responsible for the operation, maintenance, and management of national and provincial expressways in the area. Located in the northwest, the region experiences low winter temperatures and frequent snowfall, making road icing a major safety concern that significantly impacts driving conditions and logistics efficiency.
Traditional snow-removal methods are not only inefficient but also pose substantial risks: ordinary industrial salt can cause severe corrosion to roads and bridges and harm surrounding vegetation. Addressing these industry challenges, Weifang Jiangchang Chemical’s environmentally friendly de-icing agents play a crucial role. The product leverages the company’s independently developed automated production processes and patented roller-granulation dripping technology, delivering rapid snow-melting performance, a low freezing point, and resistance to secondary icing. Notably, it effectively reduces corrosion to highway infrastructure while being environmentally benign, perfectly balancing the need to ensure safe road travel with eco-friendly maintenance practices.
Backed by the abundant natural resources of industrial salt available in the Weifang Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone, Weifang Jiangchang Chemical has established an integrated industrial chain spanning research and development, production, and sales. In addition to conventional chloride-based de-icing agents, the company remains at the forefront of technological innovation in developing environmentally friendly de-icing solutions.
This latest collaboration with the Ningxia Xi’an Expressway Management Center further demonstrates Jiangchang Chemical’s strong competitiveness in the de-icing agent procurement market. Prior to this, the company had participated in dozens of tender projects and won several large-scale transportation system contracts, including the 2021 centralized de-icing agent procurement project of Hebei Expressway Group Co., Ltd. (with a winning bid value of RMB 1.6385 million), with its products now distributed across more than 30 provinces and municipalities nationwide.
As winter approaches, Weifang Jiangchang Chemical is operating at full capacity to ensure adequate production and stockpiling of de-icing agents and industrial salt, fully meeting the supply demands of the Ningxia Xi’an Expressway Management Center. Looking ahead, Jiangchang Chemical will continue to prioritize quality and drive innovation, providing even higher‑quality snow‑removal and anti‑skid solutions to safeguard transportation infrastructure across China and around the world.
