me of the products the chemical industry overcapacity situation is still not seen significant improvement. This makes a lot of chemical industry CEOs sigh: Now able to catch a good product too hard, too easy to fall into the excess force of will. However, last week in Beijing, China's chemical industry at the 2010 Summit Forum on investment trends, most of the participating experts does not agree. To sum up, the experts made three to avoid excess capacity of the road map.
The more the better to go down the traditional product
Currently in the traditional areas of chemical products, many products in the market demand close to full capacity, and some even overcapacity. Therefore, many experts believe that in the next few years, China will enter the field of bulk chemical products mature, some products have excess capacity, industrial upgrading and restructuring. Including soda ash, chlor-alkali, methanol, urea, phosphate fertilizer and other heavy consumption of staple products, and pesticides glyphosate and other staple products of these problems. Even refining profit margins will gradually decrease. With the Middle East petrochemical production capacity in 2011 greatly increased the gross margin will be reduced domestic ethylene.
Therefore, the experts agreed that, for some of the traditional chemical products, the future of the highlights is to extend downstream.
Such as methanol. Methanol can be used to produce some of the high level of profitability, good market demand of downstream products. Methanol protein is one of them. According to China Chemical Industry Economic and Technical Development Centre introduced Xu Jingsheng, deputy chief engineer, methanol and methanol as matrix protein is a single-cell protein production, high nutritional value, can be used as human or animal protein supplement for livestock feed and other fields. "Currently the shortage of protein feed, in the need protein consumed 4.2 million tons of methanol, equivalent to 8.4 million tons of methanol consumption. If methanol protein production technology can solve the problem, it will be a bright spot development." Xu Jingsheng said.
Such as phosphorus. China Salt Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Wang Peilin introduction, after being banned in detergents around the detergent, sodium tripolyphosphate in the detergent in the amount from the previous 20% to 25% to 10% now to 12% domestic yellow phosphorus enterprise sales be affected. If another angle, find the way from the lower reaches of yellow phosphorus exhaust gas utilization, is also very cost-effective. Wang Peilin calculations: If exhaust power generation, production of yellow phosphorus can lower the cost per ton is about 1,200 yuan; If sodium tail gas production, the cost per ton of yellow phosphorus can be reduced about 2000 yuan; If production of high added value of carbon emission a chemical, can reduce the cost of 2,500 yuan or so. According to him, phosphorus slag comprehensive utilization of resources also include the use of yellow phosphorus ESP recycling of phosphorus in iron and so on. "Purification in the country has a complete purification technology today, select development of exhaust gas processing products should be the focus of corporate attention. Combined with the situation themselves and their surrounding areas, choose a practical program of post-processing, will be brought to the enterprise the benefits can not be underestimated . "Wang Peilin said.
Such as chlor-alkali. Vice President of Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning white Yi that the chlor-alkali industry, should break the "third child-like", the development of chlorinated rubber, chlorinated intermediates and other downstream products. She also believes that not only the traditional products, the engineering plastics, polyurethane, fluorine silicon material products, should also focus on the development of downstream, or they will face the risk of duplication. "Now China has a great production of organic silicon monomer, it should develop downstream. Organic silicon business, if only you do 60,000 tons, 60,000 tons I do not develop downstream, is not enough." Bai Yi said.
Such as paint. It is understood that coating influenced by raw material prices, the industry profit margin is not too high, therefore, maintained at 5% level. Therefore, industry experts believe that more should follow different coating of the road. Bai Yi that the paint industry should develop specific products in various fields, such as architectural coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, marine coatings. Xu Jingsheng believes that the current car paint, green paint and abroad, there is a gap, special coatings, fire retardant coating, thermal insulation coatings, antifouling waterproof coatings, water-based paint and other products development. Reporter also noted that, when talking about paint product differentiation, the number of experts agreed that the powder coating. It is understood, powder coating, compared with solvent-based coatings with environmental protection, reduce fire risk, high recovery rate, coating efficiency. This is a future product transition, a key paint.
Such as pesticides. Hou Hongsen analysis, cream, powder and other traditional pesticide formulations in the environmental, ecological and food safety increasingly criticized, it should be the development of new products are water-based formulations: mainly agent, suspending agent, water emulsion, microemulsion agent. These preparations low toxicity, high efficiency, safety, environmental protection, also has a low cost, low price advantage, agents can reduce the cost per ton of 3000 ~ 4000 yuan.
Such as emissions and waste water treatment agent. According to Hou Hongsen, at present the most important domestic wet desulfurization method is amine, and, with the times, 2 propanol will replace traditional materials such as ethanolamine, as soon as possible will be opportunities to achieve business transformation. According to him, Nanjing Red Polaroid Corporation is the only large-scale production of 2 propanol enterprise, as differentiated competitive advantage, this year the company's two propanol is expected to double production capacity of 4 million tons, the profit also expected to improve.
On differentiation, white Yi also cited an example. In her view, the advantages of raw materials, the Middle East petrochemical products, domestic products to compete through cost certainly does not work. Therefore, the domestic petrochemical enterprises should take the differentiation approach. Such as automobile bumpers need to use polypropylene, while domestic enterprises native, fully aware of the use of domestic preferences, it can quickly transform technology, products modified to meet the requirements of the domestic manufacturers. The advantage is that foreign companies do not understand the situation in China can not match.
Experts believe that the paint companies should be taking the road of product differentiation, while the prospects of powder coatings.
The more refined the better high-end products
Many experts said that domestic enterprises will be low-end export products manufactured by foreign companies after the high-end products sold in domestic phenomenon occurs when the chemical industry, especially in the field of fine chemicals and specialty chemicals in the field. In fact, there are good prospects for many fine chemical products, but domestic manufacturers seem not to touch. In this forum, many experts described a number of good market prospects, but not yet ripe for domestic development of fine chemical products.
Such as fluoropolymers. Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute Director Zhang Fang Fine Chemicals, said: "organic fluorine fluoropolymer industry, an important class of products, domestic enterprises in addition to PTFE, other fluoropolymers almost never do. At home, PTFE fluoropolymer of the total accounted for about 90%; while in a foreign country this ratio is 50%. even Teflon, the domestic part of the low-end products can only produce for export , high-end products but needs to be imported, and the unit price is the export unit price of imports more than 2 times. "In fact, high-performance PTFE, fluorine rubber, polyethylene FEP domestic enterprises are worthy of attention.
Such as polylactic acid. According to Bai Yi description, the product has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, as in many fields, especially medical materials have been widely used. Such as for drug controlled release, tissue engineering and surgical sutures. Traditional medicine refuse dangerous, in need of specialized special processing, and medical materials made of polylactic acid can be directly degraded in the atmosphere. Moreover, PLA can also be used fabric, clothes worn by soldiers currently on our existing applications, its made of fabric with wrinkle-free, odor and so on. "The current domestic production of PLA enterprises small enterprises in Hubei have an annual capacity of 1,000 tons. The plant has a lot of orders from Europe, the product in short supply." Bai Yi said.
Such as electronic chemicals. According to Xu Jingsheng introduction, electronic chemicals manufacturing complex process, but particularly high value-added, even relatively low-end products, its profit margins can reach 30%. However, because of their emerging industries and technological difficulties, domestic technology, many products are not cross the border. Such as light emitting diodes with epoxy resin. This is a specialized packaging materials for light emitting diode, the current market demand is great, but unfortunately there is still no business can do. Another example is liquid crystal alignment film materials used at present can only do domestic enterprises TN, STN and other screen with the middle and low membrane, TFT screen with the film basically does not do domestic. Xu Jingsheng, said: "Currently there are around 60 LCD maker, is the world's largest application market; in recent years, China has also introduced a number of LCD production line. But seems, in the field of liquid crystal chemicals, about 50% of the domestic products will not do. "
Such as water treatment agent. According to Xu Jingsheng introduction, water treatment agent in profit is not too high, but its products through the membrane, water treatment with special equipment to form a water treatment works, so that profits can be greatly enhanced. "Currently there are some large companies such as PetroChina, Sinopec had this demand, hoping that the overall outsourcing water treatment services to other companies. Abroad generally do. If domestic enterprises can do a very good market prospects . "Xu Jingsheng said.
Such as high-end engineering plastics and modified plastics. According to the China Engineering Plastics Industry Association, introduced the Secretary-General Cheng Chih-kai, foreign vehicle with plastic content is normally 40%, while China has not yet reached this level. In addition, high-speed rail would use nylon pads, sleeper pad, high-strength nylon and other plastic products. These are modified engineering plastics and plastic to provide a broad space for development. Cheng Chih-kai, said there are prospects of plastic products. Such as POM, is expected to replace the field of PVC materials used in food containers; also such as polyphenylene oxide, due to export demands halogen free flame retardant cable in Europe, its promise to replace PVC used in the field. Polyphenylene ether can be used for other printed circuit board area. All the world famous enterprises such as plastic GE, BASF, DuPont, Bayer, DSM and so on with factories in China, but domestic enterprises producing high-end technology products is not yet ripe. Such as polycarbonate, although the domestic output of 330,000 tons of the product, but they are produced by foreign enterprises, domestic enterprises had not yet put into the product. Therefore, if the plastics business to a share in the emerging markets, high-end technology will be the only way.
