The production capacity of PE continues to increase, and the structure of import and export varieties changes.
In August 2022, the HDPE plant of Lianyungang Petrochemical Phase II was put into operation. As of August 2022, China’s PE production capacity increased by 1.75 million tons during the year. However, considering the long-term production of EVA by Jiangsu Sierbang and the extension of the second phase of LDPE/EVA plant, its 600,000 tons / The annual production capacity is temporarily stripped from PE production capacity. As of August 2022, China’s PE production capacity is 28.41 million tons. From the perspective of comprehensive production, HDPE products are still the main products for capacity expansion during the year. With the continuous increase of HDPE production capacity, the competition in the domestic HDPE market has intensified, and the structural surplus has gradua... -
International sports brand launches biodegradable sneakers.
Recently, sporting goods company PUMA began distributing 500 pairs of experimental RE:SUEDE sneakers to participants in Germany to test their biodegradability. Using the latest technology, the RE:SUEDE sneakers will be made from more sustainable materials such as tanned suede with Zeology technology, biodegradable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and hemp fibers. During the six-month period when participants wore RE:SUEDE, products using biodegradable materials were tested for real-life durability before being returned to Puma through a recycling infrastructure designed to allow the product Proceed to the next step of the experiment. The sneakers will then undergo industrial biodegradation in a controlled environment at Valor Compostering B.V., which is part of Ortessa Groep B.V., a Dutch ... -
A brief analysis of China‘s import and export data of paste resin from January to July.
According to the latest statistics from the Customs, in July 2022, the import volume of paste resin in my country was 4,800 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 18.69% and a year-on-year decrease of 9.16%. The export volume was 14,100 tons, a month-on-month increase of 40.34% and a year-on-year increase An increase of 78.33% last year. With the continuous downward adjustment of the domestic paste resin market, the advantages of the export market have emerged. For three consecutive months, the monthly export volume has remained above 10,000 tons. According to the orders received by manufacturers and traders, it is expected that the domestic paste resin export will remain at relatively high level. From January to July 2022, my country imported a total of 42,300 tons of paste resin, down ... -
What is PVC ?
PVC is short for polyvinyl chloride, and its appearance is white powder. PVC is one of the five general plastics in the world. It is widely used globally, especially in the construction field. There are many types of PVC. According to the source of raw materials, it can be divided into calcium carbide method and ethylene method. The raw materials of calcium carbide method mainly come from coal and salt. Raw materials for ethylene process mainly come from crude oil. According to different production processes, it can be divided into suspension method and emulsion method. The PVC used in the construction field is basically suspension method, and the PVC used in the leather field is basically emulsion method. Suspension PVC are mainly used to produce: PVC pipes, P... -
Boosted by interest rate cuts, PVC repairs low valuation rebound ！
The PVC rebounded higher on Monday, and the central bank’s reduction of LPR interest rates is conducive to reducing the interest rate of residents’ home purchase loans and the medium and long-term financing costs of enterprises, boosting confidence in the real estate market. Recently, due to the intensive maintenance and the continuous large-scale high temperature weather across the country, many provinces and cities have introduced power curtailment policies for high-energy-consuming enterprises, resulting in a phased contraction of the PVC supply margin, but the demand side is also weak. From the perspective of downstream performance, the current situation The improvement is not great. Although it is about to enter the peak demand season, the domestic demand is rising slow... -
Expansion! Expansion! Expansion! Polypropylene (PP) all the way forward!
In the past 10 years, polypropylene has been expanding its capacity, of which 3.05 million tons was expanded in 2016, breaking the 20 million tons mark, and the total production capacity reached 20.56 million tons. In 2021, the capacity will be expanded by 3.05 million tons, and the total production capacity will reach 31.57 million tons. The expansion will be concentrated in 2022. Jinlianchuang expects to expand the capacity to 7.45 million tons in 2022. In the first half of the year, 1.9 million tons have been put into operation smoothly. In the past ten years, polypropylene production capacity has been on the road of capacity expansion. From 2013 to 2021, the average growth rate of domestic polypropylene production capacity is 11.72%. As of August 2022, the total domestic polypropyle... -
Bank of Shanghai launches PLA debit card ！
Recently, Bank of Shanghai took the lead in releasing a low-carbon life debit card using PLA biodegradable material. The card manufacturer is Goldpac, which has nearly 30 years of experience in the production of financial IC cards. According to scientific calculations, the carbon emission of Goldpac environmental cards is 37% lower than that of conventional PVC cards (RPVC cards can be reduced by 44%), which is equivalent to 100,000 green cards to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2.6 tons. (Goldpac eco-friendly cards are lighter in weight than conventional PVC cards) Compared with conventional conventional PVC, the greenhouse gas produced by the production of PLA eco-friendly cards of the same weight is reduced by about 70%. Goldpac’s PLA degradable and environmentally friendly ... -
The impact of power shortage and shutdown in many places on the polypropylene industry.
Recently, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other provinces across the country have been affected by the continuous high temperature, and the electricity consumption has soared, and the electricity load has continuously hit new highs. Affected by the record-breaking high temperature and the surge in electricity load, the power curtailment “swept again”, and many listed companies announced that they had encountered “temporary power curtailment and production suspension”, and both upstream and downstream enterprises of polyolefins were affected. Judging from the production situation of some coal chemical and local refining enterprises, the power curtailment has not caused fluctuations in their production for the time being, and the feedback received has no impa... -

What are the Characteristics of Polypropylene (PP)?
Some of the most significant properties of polypropylene are: 1.Chemical Resistance: Diluted bases and acids don’t react readily with polypropylene, which makes it a good choice for containers of such liquids, such as cleaning agents, first-aid products, and more. 2.Elasticity and Toughness: Polypropylene will act with elasticity over a certain range of deflection (like all materials), but it will also experience plastic deformation early on in the deformation process, so it is generally considered a “tough” material. Toughness is an engineering term which is defined as a material’s ability to deform (plastically, not elastically) without breaking.. 3.Fatigue Resistance: Polypropylene retains its shape after a lot of torsion, bending, and/or flexing. This property is e...
