At 3F Zhonghao New Chemicals, our vision is safety and occupational health. Our department is committed to safety and maintaining stable product quality.
What sets us apart from other companies is our high-quality products and our source of innovation.
3F’s products have been widely used in industrial and civil applications. For example, refrigerants are used in automobiles and household air conditioners. Also, fluoropolymer is the main raw material for various types of rubber and engineered plastics, which we are familiar with in our daily lives.
For the fluorine chemical industry, the pressure of technological innovation is very high. Once companies fall behind, they may be eliminated soon, which is the biggest challenge we see them face. From Swagelok’s point of view, the most important thing is to communicate closely with customers, keep pace with their technological progress, provide solutions that best meet their requirements, and help them create a leading position in technological progress.
Our on-site engineering team and I always work closely with the customer to observe their applications and communicate with them to identify what to improve to ensure safety and representativeness for sampling. In the design process of the sampler, the compatibility of the medium materials, the process design, and the users’ operating habits require new designs due to different participants.
3F purchases a wide range of products from Swagelok, such as standard Swagelok tube fittings, ball valves, needle valves, sampling cylinders, relief valves, hoses, and customized services.
Swagelok products help us with internal control of our quality. In other words, Swagelok helps us in the process of delivering high-quality products. There is no doubt that product quality is very important to chemical products. Swagelok provides a very reliable sampling system that allows us to get samples safely and stably, and to control product quality. They helped us provide high-quality products to our clients.
Due to the high toxicity and flammability of our products, the sampling system requires high sealing performance and reliability.
Swagelok’s sampling panel system has served us for four years now with no glitches or leaks. From individual components to highly integrated sample panels, we get a sense of Swagelok’s evolution toward being a fluid system solution provider.
We’ve taken a training course from Swagelok, which was very comprehensive and professional. It helped us master their sampling system, as well as the operation and maintenance practices that have benefited our department a lot and can be used in our production process so that we can do sampling and control product quality. We will continue to face fierce competition in the new product market. We need to offer newer, more reliable, and higher-quality products to our customers. That’s why we believe in Swagelok. We are looking forward to more opportunities for win-win cooperation between us in the future.
