What Lanzhou Auxiliary Agent Plant Co., Ltd. does

Lanzhou Auxiliary Agent Plant Co., Ltd. (LAAP) is a Lanzhou-headquartered (Gansu Province, China) manufacturer of organic peroxides, founded in 1966 as China's first dedicated organic peroxide factory under the Ministry of Chemical Industry. The company produces 60+ organic peroxide types and 160+ formulations across five chemical categories — hydroperoxides, ketone peroxides, alkyl peroxides, acyl peroxides, and ester peroxides — used as free radical initiators, curing agents, and crosslinking agents for polymer, rubber, composite/thermoset, coatings, adhesive, and pharmaceutical applications. Production is conducted at a 130,000 sqm facility with seven automated lines operating under DCS and SIS process control, with annual manufacturing capacity exceeding 20,000 tons. R&D is anchored in a 1,600 sqm engineering laboratory with 49 skilled technicians and 30+ senior chemical engineers and PhDs, with R&D spend consistently exceeding 3% of annual revenue (RMB 36 million invested over the past three years). LAAP holds REACH Registration Certificate (European Chemicals Agency), ISO 9001 Quality Management certification since 1999, and is recognized as a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology 'Little Giant' specialized-and-sophisticated enterprise (2021).

LAAP operates a factory-direct B2B sales model targeting global polymer, rubber, petrochemical, coatings, and electronics customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with technical sales engineers providing product recommendations, safety data sheets, and custom formulations. Distribution relies on direct shipments from the Lanzhou manufacturing base, with a specialized Xinjiang land corridor (Horgos and Alataw Pass) providing cold chain logistics (-20°C to 0°C) for temperature-sensitive organic peroxides to Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, supplemented by an LCL consolidation service accepting orders from one pallet (500 kg minimum). Marketing channels include the CHINAPLAS 2026 trade show, comprehensive website technical content, and direct sales contact via phone, WhatsApp, WeChat, and email. Named enterprise customers include BASF, Röhm, PPG, Kansai Paint, SINOPEC, PetroChina, CNOOC, Shell, Sibur, Samsung, and LG, with products exported to over 30 countries. The company is privately held (listed on China's NEEQ over-the-counter market under stock code 874044 since October 2023) and operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Lanzhou Additives Factory (Lanzhou New District) Co., Ltd. (established 2018) and Lanzhou Lanquan Logistics Co., Ltd. (established December 2020).
