The battery network noted that in addition to the signing of the above letter of intent to expand the capacity of lithium hexafluorophosphate, Xintai Materials, a subsidiary of Tianji Co., Ltd. in July, Xintai Materials, a subsidiary of the company, has jointly invested with the company's main shareholder Xinhua Chemical Industry in the construction of 76000 tons of lithium hexafluorophosphate and 20% hydrochloric acid. 47000 tons of new battery electrolyte additives, 47000 tons of fluoride and other product projects, the project is being stepped up implementation. Tianji shares in the July 29 research activities, the above capacity expansion speed is relatively fast, the new capacity will be completed in 2022 Q1, Q2 entered the trial production phase. The new 10,000 tons of production capacity is basically locked by several large electrolyte manufacturers.

It is worth noting that in terms of orders, in July alone, Tianji shares received long orders of no less than 21500 tons from regular customers BYD and Jiangsu Cathay Pacific Lithium hexafluorophosphate:

Recently, Xintai Materials, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, signed a "long-term cooperation agreement" with Shenzhen BYD supply chain Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen BYD") for the long-term supply of lithium hexafluorophosphate. According to the agreement, Xintai Materials will supply no less than 3500 tons of lithium hexafluorophosphate to Shenzhen BYD from July 2021 to December 2022, and 3600-7800 tons in 2023.

On July 25, Skyline issued another announcement. Recently, Xintai Materials, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, signed an annual procurement agreement with Zhangjiagang Guotai Huarong Chemical New Materials Co., Ltd., and Ningde Taihuarong New Materials Co., Ltd. on the supply of lithium hexafluorophosphate. The announcement shows that the two sides have determined the supply quantity of lithium hexafluorophosphate products: from July 2021 to June 2023, Xintai Materials will supply no less than 12000 tons of lithium hexafluorophosphate products; from July 2022 to June 2023, according to Xintai material production capacity and actual production, it is planned to supply no less than 2400 tons of lithium hexafluorophosphate products on the basis of the original locked supply.

Tianji said that Jiangsu Cathay Pacific, the company's core customer, signed a strategic cooperation agreement last year, and now the company has a 50% and 60% share in Jiangsu Cathay Pacific. This long order will be guaranteed 400 tons a month before July next year and 600-800 tons after July next year.
