Printing And Dyeing Season Is Not Strong, Dye Prices Fall

In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, where China's printing and dyeing enterprises are most concentrated, with the advent of the peak season, some large and medium dyeing factories have increased significantly. A dyeing factory director told reporters that their machines were running at full capacity, and the delivery date increased from 4 days to more than a week.

But also in Shaoxing, most of the printing and dyeing enterprises do not feel the atmosphere of the peak season.

A deputy director of the production plant told the reporter: "this year, the peak season is obviously less than the previous year, in previous years, our factory urgent orders are to be more than 15 days.

So far this year, the equipment utilization rate has just reached 80%. "

A printing and dyeing enterprise in Jiangsu said, "at this time of the past year, it should be the peak season in the busy season, but this year's peak season has not come, because the order has not increased significantly, and the equipment utilization rate is only 60%, which is unimaginable in previous years."

Why is the peak season not prosperous? "The downstream demand is obviously insufficient. This is the fundamental reason why the peak season is not prosperous this year."

A person in charge of dyeing and printing enterprises told the China textile daily reporter that "some of the operators are stocked with stock and are still digesting their inventory."

And this kind of bad market also goes upstream.

。

"This year's printing and dyeing peak season linger, printing and dyeing mills generally affect the price of dyes."

A dye dealer, who declined to be named, said that the "maximum reactive black dye" price has dropped to less than 40 yuan per kilogram.

A month ago, reactive black dye was 64 yuan per kilogram.

"The fall in the price of dyes is a bit unexpected, because in the early September, the Tengger Desert was polluted and caused widespread concern.

After the incident was exposed, the central government of Ningxia Municipality ordered the polluters Ningxia Ming Sheng dyeing and Chemical Co., Ltd. to permanently shut down the old factory area, not to resume production, and to remove the original plant and equipment and facilities before the end of December.

This has also led to one of the main raw materials of dyes, 2- amino -4- acetamido anisole, which has changed abrupt in the market. The price has surged from 38 thousand yuan / ton in the early September to 100 thousand yuan / ton today, or up to 163%.

The dealer said, "I got the news that Ningxia Ming Sheng new factory building is being built, the design capacity is the same as that of the old factory area, and it is also 2000 tons / month, originally planned to be put into operation in October this year.

However, due to the fact that the responsible persons involved in the pollution incidents have been investigated, today,

There is still no news about when the new factory will be put into production.

Ningxia Ming Sheng new factory did not exist in the first half of 2015.

If the person in charge of Ming Sheng in Ningxia was eventually identified as a criminal offense, it is not ruled out that the new factory of Ming Sheng in Ningxia will also be closed.

If last year or early this year, the price of dye will definitely be a straight line.

But dye prices are falling.

Industry experts said: "according to the current situation, it is expected that the impact of Ningxia's Ming Sheng incident on the price of dyes will take some time to emerge.

Although dye is a strong cyclical chemical product, its environmental sensitivity and industry concentration are relatively high, so it is easy to change the market because of some environmental emergencies.

In addition, the decline in dye price performance is also closely related to the acid of the reactive dye intermediates. In the second half of this year, the sudden collapse of H acid caused a lot of losses to many traders.

It seems more rational, and will not rush to pursue it.

In addition, the example of H acid also worried the market. Although the old factory of Ming Sheng dye was closed, the new plant could not be put into production in the short term. But once the price of the reduction has come up, will many small enterprises suddenly appear as well as H acid, and they choose to take the risk to steal the production for the sake of profiteering, and then lead to a big market change.

These small factories usually sell at a lower price, and don't care how long they can produce. They can make a profit at the best time, and then turn it off. "

For the future printing and dyeing industry and the price trend of dyes, industry experts said: "printing and dyeing industry will be better in the peak season, profits will also increase significantly, but the price of dyes will continue to decline, because the price of dyes is not a reasonable level, is still running at a high level."
