"/In the fields of medicine, scientific research, manufacturing, etc., professional-grade disposable consumables often play a pivotal role. These seemingly simple but crucial products not only bear the heavy responsibility of ensuring safety and improving efficiency, but also require the deep integration of cutting-edge technological innovation and practical applications, which also makes the research and development of high-end disposable consumables a complex and sophisticated system engineering.
However, technological innovation does not exist in isolation. It must be rooted in actual needs and requires strong alliances between powerful companies. Now, this practice has another typical example of cooperation.

Recently, Bluesail Medical and Wanhua Chemical signed a strategic cooperation agreement at Wanhua Chemical's Cishan headquarters and held a joint innovation laboratory unveiling ceremony. The content of this cooperation is mainly for both parties to give full play to their strengths and carry out deep integration, namely "Wanhua Chemical's polyurethane industry chain advantages and technical advantages" + "Bluesail's medical gloves field manufacturing advantages and market advantages".

At the cooperation ceremony, senior leaders of both companies attended the event and jointly pointed out that they would jointly promote new possibilities of polyurethane materials in the field of medical gloves, and on this basis gradually expand and deepen cooperation between the two parties, relying on the advantages of the upstream and downstream industrial chains of each other, jointly innovate and develop more new products and new projects, and promote their respective new developments. Specifically: the two parties will adhere to the principle of "complementary advantages, equality and mutual benefit, emphasis on effectiveness, and common development", focus on deepening cooperation in the fields of disposable polyurethane gloves, medical catheters, PEBA, nylon, PC and other medical devices, relying on Wanhua Chemical's advantages in scientific research, industry and talents, and Bluesail Medical's advantages in the terminal market, carry out in-depth, all-round, and multi-field exclusive cooperation in material formulation and product technology, and establish a comprehensive cooperative relationship and long-term cooperation mechanism.

The cooperation between the two parties has been quite long. Since 2019, the two parties have joined hands to start the joint research and development journey of polyurethane in the field of gloves. After more than five years of unremitting struggle and in-depth cooperation, the teams of both parties successfully launched a new polyurethane glove with excellent performance in August this year. The product stands out with its remarkable features such as lightness, breathability, softness, high elasticity, sealing, environmental protection and low sensitivity, providing a new protection option for medical workers and the majority of people in need of protection.

Today, this new polyurethane glove has emerged in the domestic and foreign markets and has been recognized by the domestic and foreign markets. It is expected to occupy an important position in the disposable glove industry. It is reported that Bluesail Medical and Wanhua Chemical have also jointly established a joint innovation laboratory. According to market and user needs, through in-depth scientific research and continuous technological innovation, they will upgrade and iterate to develop more innovative technologies and products to meet consumers' urgent needs for high-quality health protection products. It should be pointed out that this cooperation is exclusive. Wanhua Chemical is one of the companies with the highest degree of integration in the global polyurethane industry chain, and Bluesail Medical is a medical device company with a complete layout of high, medium and low consumables. It fully reflects the mutual recognition between the two parties and their firm confidence in the cooperation of this project.

The birth and application of each new technology is like a stone thrown into the lake, which stirs up layers of ripples and profoundly affects the ecological pattern of the industry. In the field of personal protective equipment, the continuous emergence of new materials can achieve this effect. Polyurethane is a polymer material with high density, high wear resistance, high elasticity, high isolation and other characteristics. It is widely used in medicine, electronics, textiles, aviation and other fields. Waterborne polyurethane is a polyurethane system that uses water instead of organic solvents as a dispersion medium. Since the main solvent is water, waterborne polyurethane has the advantages of no pollution, environmental protection, good compatibility and easy modification.

The reason why polyurethane gloves can stand out in the market is also reflected in the comparison with gloves made of traditional materials. It has achieved a qualitative leap in terms of breathability, no sweat, good puncture resistance, high elasticity, anti-allergy, skin-friendly, etc., and is widely used in dust-free, sterile and electronic industries. At the same time, gloves prepared from polyurethane aqueous dispersions are not easy to cause allergies, their elastic properties are comparable to latex gloves, and they have no odor. In terms of use, the relatively comprehensive advantages and no special shortcomings make polyurethane gloves have broad market prospects under the market demand of hundreds of billions of disposable nitrile gloves each year. Some industry experts have pointed out that "the emergence of polyurethane gloves is bound to quickly occupy a place in the market", and now this prediction has become a reality.

This is particularly evident in the medical field. Polyurethane gloves have been gradually recognized by doctors and nurses in recent years for their excellent antibacterial, breathable and corrosion-resistant properties. They can not only effectively prevent cross-infection, but also provide patients with a more comfortable and safe nursing experience. According to a public global medical industry market research report, the global polyurethane glove market size will reach billions of US dollars in 2023, and the demand in the medical market will grow at an average annual rate of more than 10%.

In addition, the market space for polyurethane gloves is also reflected in its sustainable development potential. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, people are increasingly favoring green and environmentally friendly products. Polyurethane, as a recyclable and degradable material, conforms to the concept of sustainable development. Therefore, driven by environmental protection policies, polyurethane gloves are expected to gain more development opportunities in the future market.

When talking about Bluesail Medical in the industry, its "A+X" strategy is often mentioned, which is a reflection of the development of the company's business model to a higher level. The A goal is to develop from the global PVC glove king to a leading Chinese health protection company, and the X goal is to leap from low-value consumables to high-value consumables for medical devices, and build a multinational industry platform for medical devices with complementary models and risk hedging. The health protection business with disposable gloves as the core is the traditional advantage business of Bluesail Medical and also one of its trump cards. As the first listed company in the industry to complete the layout of all categories of disposable gloves, it can provide customers with the most complete product series, with an annual production capacity of nearly 50 billion pieces.

The report card is glittering. It is reported that the sales of glove products cover more than 130 countries in five continents around the world, with more than 300 strategic partners, and it is one of the companies with four complete categories of health protection gloves in the world. Among them, the production and sales volume of disposable PVC gloves of Bluesail Medical accounts for nearly 25% of the total exports of China Customs, ranking first in the world, and the production and sales volume of nitrile gloves accounts for more than 21% of the total exports of China Customs, ranking among the top three in the world. It can be seen that Bluesail Medical has become an important participant in the global glove market with its strong production capacity and global sales network in the field of medical gloves.

In addition to maintaining and expanding its advantages in the international market, Bluesail Medical is also actively exploring and consolidating the domestic big health-related channel market, through cooperation with third-party testing channels, laboratory channels, food and catering channels, supermarket channels, etc., and further improving the new marketing ideas of marketing diversification, channel diversification, and product diversification. The cooperation between Blue Sail Medical and Wanhua Chemical has undoubtedly injected another powerful "supplement" into the development of Blue Sail Medical, and also brought unprecedented major benefits to both parties.

As a leading company in the chemical industry, Wanhua Chemical is a global leader in the polyurethane industry. This cooperation with Blue Sail Medical will make new attempts in product innovation. For Blue Sail Medical, with the ability to manufacture all kinds of gloves, the company hopes to expand its product line through polyurethane gloves and lead the product trend of the glove industry again.

Blue Sail Medical has made full preparations to meet this opportunity. In June this year, the company introduced a US$200 million investment from Thai industrial investor HKG, which can further reduce the production and manufacturing costs of gloves and help the company become one of the most cost-effective glove manufacturing bases in the world. HKG's strategic investment has also laid a better foundation for the future development of polyurethane gloves, allowing it to be more comfortable in the fierce market competition.

At the same time, in the high-end field of medical consumables, such as cardiovascular interventional products, Bluesail Medical's world-leading technology and products, combined with Wanhua Chemical's innovative capabilities in new material research and development, are expected to develop a new generation of innovative material products with better performance and more controllable costs, bringing good news to patients. This is also a new business growth point for both parties in the future.
