Operation Analysis Of Nonwovens And Industrial Textiles In The First Half Of The Year

In the first half of 2008, the national nonwoven and industrial textiles industry showed a steady development trend, but the growth rate slowed down.

In the first half of the year, the price fluctuation of raw materials, labor price rise, exchange rate changes, plastic restriction and earthquake relief and other factors had an impact on the development of the industry.

At the beginning of 2008, the southern enterprises suffered from ice and snow disasters, accelerated domestic RMB appreciation, tighter monetary policy, lower export tax rebates, and the effective implementation of the new labor contract law, which improved the production costs of enterprises and reduced the profit margins of enterprises.

In particular, the continued depreciation of the US dollar has seriously disrupted the export market, and the loss of foreign exchange by export enterprises has been greatly reduced.

Some enterprises stopped the production of export products and compressed the scale.

In the first half of the year, the national nonwovens and industrial textiles industry faced the uncertain factors such as raw material price fluctuation, which brought a series of difficulties to production and operation.

The severe fluctuation of raw material prices is the main factor affecting the production of enterprises.

The non-woven industry is a completely competitive industry, most of the product value-added level is relatively low, the production factor price, especially the raw material price is the most important factor in the relationship between supply and demand.

Spunbonded nonwovens

The spunbonded nonwovens industry encountered huge fluctuations in raw material prices.

The production and production of spunbonded equipment has increased since the increase of raw materials. The reason is that the price of raw materials is increasing, and the competition in the coil market is fierce. Enterprises feel that money is getting harder and harder to earn.

Especially in 5~6 months, the price of raw materials increased rapidly, and the average price of polypropylene increased by 3000 yuan / ton.

Many enterprises can not cope with such a big increase in a short time. The company is in a difficult position, and most of these enterprises are small in scale and weak in technical strength, so they can only adjust prices continuously with downstream users, resulting in serious competition in the domestic industry.

At the same time, the export market of spunbonded nonwovens is stagnant, raw material prices fluctuate, the US dollar exchange rate decreases and profit margins decrease. Some enterprises stop exporting production, and some powerful enterprises gradually adopt the way of RMB settlement so as to reduce the losses caused by exchange rate.

Spunlaced Nonwovens

After experiencing difficulties last year, spunlaced nonwovens have improved with the price reduction of viscose staple fibers this year.

Viscose fiber encountered rapid price rise in 2007, began in 2008 March, prices began to fall, May is the most prominent, compared with the beginning of May, the price of viscose staple products decreased by about 3000 yuan per ton, compared with the beginning of this year, the mid-range products were reduced by about 3200 yuan, the low grade products were reduced by about 3300 yuan, the cost of the spun nonwoven semi-finished products decreased, and the profit margins increased.

Plastic limit order brings new opportunities for some enterprises to develop

At the beginning of 2008, the general office of the State Council issued the circular on restricting production, sale and use of plastic shopping bags, which brought new opportunities to the development of nonwovens.

Spunbonded nonwoven shopping bags are popular with its advantages of lightweight, beautiful, durable and durable, and become the best choice to replace polyethylene shopping bags.

In particular, the consumption of product packaging bags, shopping malls or enterprise promotional bags is becoming wider and wider. The sale of bags sold as commodities is generally, and is widely recognized by consumers.

Filter materials are affected by national environmental policies, and sales are better.

At present, the state has higher requirements for environmental protection in the fields of iron and steel, metallurgy, chemical industry, cement, coal and so on. There are definite requirements and standards for the use of filter bags and dust bags, making the application of filtering materials more and more standardized, and the market is becoming larger and larger.

Nonwoven and industrial textiles play an important role in earthquake relief

In May 12, 2008, a strong earthquake occurred on the Richter scale of 8 on the Wenchuan County in Sichuan, and hundreds of thousands of victims were threatened.

Enterprises in the industry deeply feel the sense of social responsibility of enterprises, take earthquake relief as the first important task of enterprises, and work overtime to make earthquake relief supplies.

Nonwovens and industrial textiles have played a great role in this disaster relief.

Rope, rope, cable, parachute and so on are the necessities for rescue.

In the disaster relief, rope, cable and cable are indispensable rescue tools. The enterprises in the industry specially designed "rescue special rigging". In the shortest time, a high quality special purpose sling was produced to support the disaster area. At the same time, the finished rigging products of the peripheral branches of Beijing, Tianjin, Henan and Tangshan were allocated, and all the available order goods could be used to support the disaster area to the maximum extent.

The earthquake was particularly damaging to the road traffic. In order to ascertain the disaster and emergency rescue as soon as possible, the air force first implemented the plateau airdrop. Under harsh weather conditions, the parachute troops landed in the mountains.

In the parachute disaster area, the umbrella materials used by airmen and materials are all industrial coated fabrics.

Tents, medical textiles and filter materials are needed for post disaster reconstruction.

At one time, tent became the first need for the victims after the disaster. All tent factories worked overtime 24 hours to make the shelter for the disaster area.

Tent cloth, car tarpaulin, storage cloth and all kinds of tarpaulins have also become the main items for temporary buildings.

According to incomplete statistics, about 1000000 tents and more than 4000 tons of canvas are produced by domestic tents and industrial cloth manufacturers.

With the improvement of people's living standard, the use space of disposable medical and sanitary textiles has been increasing.

Disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and other popularization rates have been further improved. Disposable bedsheets, surgical hole towels and other surgical room supplies are also being expanded. The use of Nonwovens for dry and wet cloth is also increasing.

This year, after the 5 / 12 earthquake, in order to prevent the occurrence of larger epidemics, the disaster areas badly needed various kinds of medical and health protection products. Nonwoven products manufacturers actively took action to make products for the disaster areas. Bandages, gauze rolls, sterile gauze sheets, sterile gauze pads, cotton pads, masks, surgical packs, surgical gowns and so on were the most scarce and most urgent medical supplies in the disaster area, which brought some opportunities to the industry.

In order to solve the problem of drinking water in the disaster area and ensure the safety of people in the disaster area, the water filtration system has been fully used.

The continuous membrane filtration water purification equipment donated by the enterprises in the disaster area for 100 tons of Nissan water uses hollow fiber membrane components with unique structure and high pollution resistance materials and unique gas water double washing technology, which can effectively remove impurities such as suspended solids, microorganisms, bacteria, algae, glue and other impurities in the water. The purified water is clear and pparent, and the turbidity is close to zero.

Geotextiles have excellent functions of filtration, isolation, reinforcement and protection. They play a great role in reinforcing reservoirs, dammed lakes and dams, preventing landslides and landslides, seepage, and isolating collapsed buildings.

During the 5 12 earthquake, the damage to the barrier lake and the reservoir embankment will be more destructive than the earthquake. The safety of millions of soldiers and civilians will be seriously threatened. The consequences will be devastating. The geotextile will play a great role in reinforcing the barrier embankment and the reservoir embankment, alleviating the danger of damming the barrier lake, and preventing the landslide and landslide in the disaster area.
