HPDMC is mainly used in lithium battery electrolyte. As one of the four key materials of lithium battery, electrolyte is mainly used in new energy vehicles, 3C digital and energy storage fields.

Specifically, Uber signed a 100000 t / a DMC technology license agreement with the company in December 2020, allowing the company to produce DMC in China. Based on the company's 20,000t / a high purity C "H" O product plan, UBU licenses the technology and know-how of producing HPDMC using DMC, which it holds, owns and has the right to grant to other parties, to build and operate HPDMC devices and produce HPDMC.

According to the agreement, the license fee amounts to 300 million yen (equivalent to about 16.44 million yuan), which shall be paid in four installments according to the agreement; the term of the technical license shall take effect after the date on which this agreement is signed by both parties and is valid for 20 years from February 25th, 2022.
