Three days the price doubled, polypropylene prices soared behind what factors? Some data show that, as of April 14, the domestic polypropylene material prices more to remain at 9000-9500 yuan / ton, compared with April 10 rose 1500-2000 yuan / ton, an increase of more than 20%. Recent polypropylene product price trend.
Inferior meltblown fabric stirring? Polypropylene products are mainly divided into two kinds of drawing material and fiber material. Meltblown nonwoven special material is masks, protective clothing and other protective products core layer of raw materials, usually produced by high-melt polypropylene fiber material after modification. High-melt finger fiber polypropylene S2040 as the main raw material for anti-epidemic urgently needed medical supplies, the demand is climbing sharply. A number of analysts believe that the high price of polypropylene, in addition to masks driven by the basic demand, more by the market speculative arbitrage.
According to the 21st Century Business Herald, in order to obtain huge profits, some enterprises "to make the best of a bad job", with very poor protective effect of inferior meltblown cloth instead. The so-called inferior meltblown cloth, is cheaper ordinary polypropylene fiber material, instead of meltblown grade fiber material, to 300,000 yuan a small meltblown machine, instead of nearly 10 million yuan of professional meltblown cloth equipment. In the end, the production is not electret treatment, filtration efficiency of only 40% to 50% of the "meltblown cloth".
It is because of the poor quality of meltblown cloth churning, prompting the entire industrial chain into chaos recently, including its upstream raw materials, such as polypropylene, propylene and other chemicals all the way up. The price of high melting finger polypropylene fiber material has also risen to about 30,000 yuan / ton, the market speculation atmosphere is still very strong! "Stimulated by high profits, some small factories use injection molding machines converted into small meltblown fabric production machines to produce substandard products. Due to the inability to use high melting index modified materials, small manufacturers mostly use low melting index fiber materials, which led to increased demand for fiber materials such as S2040 and soaring prices." An analyst said.
According to China Securities Journal, on April 13, the auction price of Shenhua Baotou S2040 reached 22,000 yuan per ton. on April 10, the price was 11,000 yuan per ton. In just three days, the price doubled. Lonza information data show that in recent days, Dushanzi petrochemical S2040 Dongguan area of the self-title price in the jump from 9,000 yuan / ton doubled to about 18,000 yuan / ton; Shanghai SECCO S2040 price from 10,000 yuan / ton, up to 21,000 yuan / ton.
Drawing row production by the backlog, in addition to the polypropylene material used for the production of masks prices, used in other industries, polypropylene drawing material prices are also synchronized with the rise. Polypropylene drawing material with good tensile properties, widely used in the production of woven bags, colored fabrics, tarpaulins and ropes. Into April, especially before and after the Ching Ming Festival, polypropylene fiber material market demand suddenly increased, coupled with a sharp rise in prices, manufacturers switching to fiber material increased, which led to a reduction in the scheduling space of polypropylene drawing material, supply and demand situation has become tense.
"After the sharp rise in the price of polypropylene fiber material, the supply side of the manufacturers to a large number of switching to the production of polypropylene fiber material, fiber material scheduling ratio in just 1 week rose 5 times, reaching a record high of 31%." An analyst said. Because of the wider use of drawing material, the price of this product has also become inevitable. From the perspective of industry self-regulation, a number of producers have also taken the initiative to cool down the industry in recent days, to curb the speculative trend.
April 13 PetroChina, Sinopec have temporarily canceled the intermediate trade in high-melting finger fiber billing link, by the sales company directly to the customer, and set the highest sales price limit of 11,500 yuan / ton, intended to control the market from the source of speculative atmosphere. In addition, China Shenhua, Shanghai SECCO, Yanchang Petroleum and many other companies have issued a statement on the company's production and marketing of fiber material grades and uses, emphasizing that users should be used correctly.
Expanded information:
Jiangsu Yangzhong carries out the standardization of meltblown fabric industry. The poor quality meltblown fabric industry chain is visible in the briefing of the press conference in Yangzhong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the folk around the short-term emergence of a large number of production of meltblown cloth enterprises and individual business households, and meltblown cloth related to the number of registered business has also shown a "blowout" type of growth. As of April 10, Yangzhong registered 867 enterprises*** involved in the production and sale of meltblown fabrics.
According to the People's Daily Online and other media reports, on April 11, the People's Government of Yangzhong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, held a press conference to inform the meltblown fabric industry standardization and remediation of the situation. In order to combat the speculation of intermediaries, Yangzhong City, deployed to all out of Yang vehicles carrying the "three-free" meltblown fabric products seized according to law, as of the morning of the 11th, the traffic police department **** seized more than 30 meltblown fabric transport vehicles.
