Weak Demand For PVC Industry In Europe Urgently Needs Restructuring

< p > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > PVC resin < /a > (PVC) is an important organic synthetic material in China.

Its products have good physical and chemical properties, widely used in industry, construction, agriculture, daily life, packaging, power, utilities and other fields.

The ninth Technical Conference of "European chlorine organization" was held in Madrid recently. According to experts, Andrew, Brown, director of IHS chemical inorganic matter, pointed out in his speech that after the economic crisis, the recovery was slow, especially the demand for the main consumer building industry of PVC is weak, so it is urgent to adjust the structure.

< p > Brown believes that there are too many chlor alkali manufacturers in Europe. Dow Chemical, the largest chlor alkali producer in Europe, has a 12 million 400 thousand ton / year capacity, accounting for only 15% of the total, while Saul Wei and are 13%, and Nobel and Bayer account for about 10%.

The rest also includes many manufacturers.

The same is true for vinyl resins.

< p > according to the experts, the aim of the merger is SolVin and 24%, which account for 24% and 20% of the production capacity of PVC in Europe respectively.

KemOne accounted for 12%, Vinnolit 11%, Xinyue 9%, Vestolit 6% and Borsodchem5%.

In addition, there are many small companies.

The joint venture between Ingrid and sol Wei will create the largest chlor alkali vinyl resin company in Europe so far.

< p > the two companies have put forward a remedial plan to the European Commission. The proposed merger will exclude some production facilities to win antitrust approval.

Brown predicts that the number of European vinyl resin enterprises will be significantly reduced by 2018, and the joint venture will take up 50% of the expected 6 million 700 thousand tons / year capacity, Vinnolit will account for 12%, KemOne and Xinyue will have 10%, Vestolit will account for 7%, Borsodchem will account for 6% and Anwil5%.

In addition, by December 2017, the chlor alkali plants of about 3 million tons / year of production capacity of 31 mercury electrolysis technologies in Europe will need to be converted into ionic membrane technology.

Brown predicts that about 1 million tons / year this capability will be shut down.

< p > according to Jean-PolDebelle, technical director of chlorine organization in Europe, due to the urgency of technological pformation in 2018, there may be a shortage of E&C for specialized chlor alkali plants.

The conference from LAN-STAR group of China and RusChlor of Russia also introduced the situation of chlor alkali industry in China and Russia.

< /p >

< p > at present, the production of PVC in China has a certain gap with other developed countries and regions in terms of technological pformation, new products, new a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/" > technology < /a > development and research funding. For example, Taiwan Formosa Plastics Group spends 500 million yuan a year on new product development, production technology improvement, energy conservation, pollution prevention, industrial safety and health research, etc.

< /p >

In order to participate in the international market competition, we must attach importance to improving the technological pformation of enterprises and the ability of developing new products and new technologies, and improving and establishing the technological innovation system of enterprises. < p >

We should strengthen the technological development and innovation strength, increase the investment of < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/" > Science and technology < /a >, pform the traditional technology, equipment and develop new products with high and new technology or advanced practical technology to readjust the existing product structure.

At the same time, on the basis of investigation, we should focus on promoting a number of products and technologies with relatively high technology and high technology content, which can significantly improve the economic efficiency of enterprises, and improve the level of production technology.
