Spoiler of inferior meltblown cloth? Polypropylene products are mainly divided into drawing materials and fiber materials. Melt-blown nonwovens special material is the core material of protective products such as masks and protective clothing, which is usually modified by high melting point polypropylene fiber. As the main raw material of medical materials urgently needed for epidemic prevention, the demand of high melting point fiber polypropylene S2040 has risen sharply. Many analysts believe that the high price of polypropylene is not only driven by the basic demand for masks, but also affected by market speculation and arbitrage.
According to 2 1 Century Business Daily, in order to make huge profits, some enterprises "shoddy" and substitute inferior meltblown fabrics with poor protection effect. The so-called inferior melt-blown cloth means replacing melt-blown fiber with a kind of ordinary polypropylene fiber with a lower price, and replacing professional melt-blown cloth equipment with a small melt-blown machine with a price of nearly 10 million yuan. Finally, the "melt blown cloth" without electret treatment was produced, and the filtration efficiency was only 40% to 50%.
It is precisely because of the spoiler of inferior meltblown cloth that the whole industrial chain has recently fallen into chaos, including the skyrocketing prices of raw materials such as polypropylene and propylene in its upstream. The price of high melt index polypropylene fiber has also risen to about 30 thousand yuan/ton, and the market speculation atmosphere is still very strong! At the end of March, the ton price of high melt index polypropylene was around 7000 yuan. "Stimulated by high profits, some small factories have transformed injection molding machines into small meltblown cloth production machines to produce unqualified products. Because it is impossible to use modified materials with high melting index, most small manufacturers use fiber materials with low melting index, which leads to an increase in demand for fiber materials such as S2040 and soaring prices. " Some analysts said.
According to china securities journal, on April 13, the auction price of Shenhua Baotou S2040 reached 22,000 yuan/ton. April 10, price 1. 1 ten thousand yuan/ton. The price has doubled in just three days. Longzhong information data shows that the self-raised price of Dongguan Dushanzi Petrochemical S2040 has recently doubled from 9,000 yuan/ton to 1.8 million yuan/ton; The price of Shanghai Secco S2040 rose from 1 1,000 yuan/ton to 2 1 1,000 yuan/ton.
Backlog of wire drawing production schedule. In addition to the rise in the price of polypropylene materials used in mask production, the price of polypropylene wire drawing materials used in other industries is also rising simultaneously. Polypropylene wire drawing material has good tensile properties and is widely used to make woven bags, striped fabrics, tarpaulins, ropes and so on. In April, especially around Tomb-Sweeping Day, the market demand of polypropylene materials suddenly increased and the price rose sharply, which led to the decrease of production space of polypropylene wire drawing materials and the tight supply and demand situation.
"After the price of polypropylene materials rose sharply, the supply-side manufacturers switched to polypropylene materials in large quantities, and the scheduling ratio of fiber materials increased five times in just 1 week, reaching a historical high of 3 1%." Some analysts said. Due to the more and more extensive use of wire drawing materials, the price increase of this product has become inevitable. From the perspective of industry self-discipline, many manufacturers have also taken the initiative to cool down the industry in recent days to curb speculation.
On April 13, PetroChina and Sinopec temporarily canceled the intermediate trade invoicing link of high-melt index fiber, and the sales company directly docked customers, and set the highest sales price limit of 1. 1.5 million yuan/ton to control the market speculation atmosphere from the source. In addition, China Shenhua, Shanghai Secco, Yanchang Petroleum and other enterprises also issued statements explaining the brands and uses of fiber materials produced and sold by the company, emphasizing that users should use them correctly.
Extended data:
Standardization of melt blowing industry in Yangzhong City, Jiangsu Province. The situation of inferior melt-blown fabric industry chain can be seen in the news briefing of Yangzhong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. Since the outbreak of Xinguan pneumonia, a large number of enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households producing meltblown fabrics have appeared in various places in a short time, and the number of registered businesses related to meltblown fabrics has also shown a "blowout" growth. By April of 10, there were 867 enterprises involved in the production and sales of meltblown fabrics registered in Yangzhong.
According to the People's Daily and other media reports, on April 1 1, the People's Government of Yangzhong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province held a press conference to inform about the standardization and rectification of the meltblown fabric industry. In order to crack down on the speculation of middlemen, Yangzhong City deployed to seize all the "three noes" meltblown fabrics carried by outbound vehicles according to law.
