Raw materials skyrocketing: 2017 is not afraid of not orders, but there is a single can not pick!

Starting from the end of 2016, titanium dioxide began to rise in price, and the mad tide of raw material price hike did not stop. In January 2017, the notice of price increase of the modified plastics company also came out like a scourge. The tide of price rises in January was still shocking. In February, the new round of upswings in prices rose further in the plastic ring. Let many friends in the industry fall into a deep contradiction: 2017 is not without orders, but there is a single dare to pick! ! ! !

According to Xiaobian, domestic well-known plastic modification companies such as blondes and plits have raised product prices, while foreign companies such as Evonik, Dupont, SABIC, DSM, Rantic, RTP, Solvay EMS, BASF, Polytechnics and others also raised prices. The new round of price hikes is undoubtedly a headache for the plastics application terminal companies. “As soon as the whole body is affected,” a ring rises and the ring rises. Will the plastics industry in 2017 be like a chewing gum? ? ?

There are not many words to say. Let's take a look at some of the companies and details that have increased prices since February.

Evonik

Germany's Evonik High Performance Polymer Division announced on February 7th that due to the continuous increase in production costs, the Group's nylon 12 products will increase by approximately 6% within the scope allowed by the current contract. It is reported that the products involved in this price adjustment include: VESTAMID® L, VESTAMID® NRG (nylon 12), VESTAMID® D (nylon 612), VESTAMID® E (nylon 12 elastomer), VESTOSINT® nylon 12 powder, and VESTAMID® Series of medical material products.

Changchun Chemical (Luzhou) Co., Ltd.

On February 7, Changchun Chemical's price increases for PA6 and PA66 were also sent to their distributors. The price increases were: PA6 2500/ton, PA66 4000/ton.

Shanghai Hengan Polyurethane Co., Ltd

Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd.

Chemours

Chemours, the world's largest titanium dioxide company, announced that since March 1, 2017, all Ti-Pure titanium dioxide prices for North America, Canada, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have been raised. . Among them, the Asia-Pacific region raised 150 US dollars / ton; North America and Canada increased by 0.06 US dollars / pound; Latin America, Eastern Europe, etc. raised 200 US dollars / ton; Western Europe and Central Europe, etc. raised 200 euros / ton.

The above are just some of the companies that Xiaobian learned. Of course, there are more companies that have no choice but to increase prices. This is the trend of the times. In this situation, we need to reflect! No matter how you prepare inventory, you can't cope with it. It is hoped that the broad masses of the rivers will understand each other and stay with each other for a reasonable profit, unite and tide over difficulties.

According to Xiao Bian speculation: after the current round of price increases, the boss of modified engineering plastics will finally understand that the raw material upstream is still in the hands of the international giants, and the material modification industry is only in the middle, leaving little profit margin. If it is impossible to extend the grasp of raw materials and even chemical products, it is difficult to participate in international competition. It is hoped that the privately-owned modified plastics enterprises, especially listed companies that have already become large-scale enterprises, will accelerate the layout of upstream chemical raw materials and increase their competitiveness!
