Since 2020, the representative variety of polypropylene wire-copolymerization has narrowed significantly. According to data tracking, as of October 15, the price difference between the two has narrowed to 100 yuan/ton.
We shandong top leader Plastic packing co. ltd are committed to the production of PVC PP HIPS hard film, and always pay attention to the raw material market.
use:
Plastic packaging sheets are mainly used to produce disposable plastic cups, plates, bowls, plates, boxes and other thermoformed products, and are widely used in food, vegetable, fruit, beverage, dairy, industrial parts and other fields. With the increasing domestic demand, packaging plastic thermoformed sheets are used more and more widely, and the amount is increasing year by year. The prospects are promising. With the country's emphasis on environmental protection, the "environmentally degradable sheet production line" adapted to production has been able to successfully supply various types of "degradable sheets" to the market. The "nano sheet" made of "nanoplastics" has become another focus of attention and a new "selling point" for manufacturers. In order to improve the shelf life and shelf life of foods, "sheets with high barrier properties" have become the target of competition for development by various manufacturers.
production method:
The common method of producing plastic packaging sheets is calendering, which is mainly used to produce PVC, PVDC and other sheets; the other is extrusion, which is used to produce BOPS, EPS, PET, PP, HIPS and other sheets. The sheet mentioned in this article mainly refers to the sheet used for thermoforming packaging products produced by the process of "extruder-T-head-three-roll calender-coiling". With the development of packaging sheets, the domestic industry producing sheet machines has continuously introduced advanced configurations and new machines. For more than ten years, sheet production and sheet machine manufacturers have cooperated with each other and introduced together, which has also improved the overall development level of the plastic sheet industry. New sheet processing technology and new raw and auxiliary materials have been fully utilized in the configuration of advanced equipment.
From the perspective of the average annual price difference, the average annual price difference between the two in 2020 is 384 yuan/ton, which is 15.04% smaller than 452 yuan/ton in 2019, and 47.33% smaller than 729 yuan/ton in 2018.
From the perspective of supply, the wire drawing output in 2019 was 8.257 million tons, and the copolymer output was 5.0372 million tons; since 2020, the wire drawing output is 5.8598 million tons, and the copolymer output is 3.8063 million tons. From the perspective of the supply ratio of copolymerization and drawing, the ratio of copolymerization/drawing is 61% in 2019, and the ratio of the two is 64.96% from 2020 to the present. It can be seen that manufacturers have an increased tendency to produce copolymers.
From the perspective of demand, the two major industries of automobiles and home appliances, as the representative industries of the large-scale downstream of copolymerized polypropylene, have shown a trend of first low and then high this year. In the first quarter of 2020, China's auto market experienced a cold winter, with a sharp decline year-on-year. Production and sales in the second and third quarters maintained growth year-on-year, and the auto industry began to gradually pick up. The home appliance industry is similar. In June 2020, the national output of household refrigerators was 8.874 million units, a year-on-year increase of 21.7%; the output of room air conditioners was 24.903 million units, a year-on-year increase of 12.0%; the output of household washing machines was 6.55 million units, a year-on-year increase of 5.3 %. However, cumulatively from January to June 2020, the national output of household refrigerators was 37.59 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 6.9%; the output of room air conditioners was 10.414 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 16.4%; the output of household washing machines was 32.602 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 7.2 %.
To sum up, in 2020, the supply of PP copolymer production will increase year-on-year, while the production and sales of representative industries on the demand side will decrease, and the contradiction between supply and demand will increase. This will lead to a sharp drop in the price difference between the two in 2020 compared to 2019 and 2018.
