The Rising Price Of Upstream Flame Dyes Is Inevitable.

Recently, the Hubei Huali dye company, one of the main producers of reactive dyes, has suffered a boiler pipeline leak. The company said that the impact of the accident on the reactive dye market is limited, and the company will resume production soon. However, other people in the industry do not agree with this statement: "according to our experience and understanding, the fire caused by the leakage of the boiler tube is almost uncontrollable. Even the fire Department has no plan to do so. Only when the oil is burned out, will it extinguish itself, so that the damage to the equipment will be great. We expect that the replacement of the equipment by gorgeous light will take 3~4 months. In addition, Chu Yuan Group has stopped delivery at present. reactive dye The major intermediate acid will face a large shortage. "

Chu Yuan group is located in Zhang Cheng Yuan high tech Zone, Shishou City. Its products cover 80% intermediates of dyestuff production. Among them, the output of H acid is 40 thousand tons / year, para ester 40 thousand tons / year, reactive dye 50 thousand tons / year, and it is one of the largest dye intermediates and reactive dye producers in the world. H acid is an important intermediate of reactive dyes. Earlier, due to the stricter environmental policy, some of the acid enterprises stopped production and limited production, resulting in a shortage of market supply and a price rise. The former 50 thousand yuan / ton increased to 70 thousand yuan / ton. As a result, after the starting price of disperse dyes starts, reactive dyes may also lead to a full rise in price due to the shortage of H acid in the new environmental protection policy.

Among the listed companies, Zhejiang Longsheng has 90 thousand tons of reactive dye capacity, 30 thousand tons of intercontinental shares and 7 thousand tons of anoits. Affected by the fire accident of leading enterprises, it is expected that there will be a panic anticipation of supply in the near future, which will boost the volume of reactive dye shipments. Affected by the rising supply of intermediates, the price of H acid is increasing. Dyestuff enterprise At the beginning of January, the price of reactive dyes has been raised, up to 5000 yuan / ton ~8000 yuan / ton, reaching more than 10%. According to the insiders, at present, the market supply of HA is still tight, and the price of reactive dyes will further increase.

Haining's Longzhou printing and dyeing Co., Ltd., general manager of Haiti City, has been relatively calm. He said that rather than complaining about rising prices, it would be better to start from upgrading itself. In his view, the key lies in: water circulation treatment, dye utilization and production technology three aspects of continuous improvement. "Products are excellent enough to sell high prices, and energy saving technology can lead to effective cost increase." Xuan Haiti said.

　　 Face dyestuff Prices continue to rise, unlike Longzhou printing and dyeing, these high-end printing and dyeing factories, some processing fees in 2.2 yuan / m ~2.5 yuan / M printing and dyeing factory life is even more difficult. "I can only say that there is no way out now. For printing and dyeing mills, no matter how to deal with them, the result is the same: either reduce profits or increase losses. A large printing and dyeing enterprise manager, who did not want to be named, told reporters reluctantly.

Facing the rising price of domestic dyestuffs, the choice of international dyestuff brand has also become the countermeasure of some large printing and dyeing enterprises in China. "Compared with the price increase of domestic dyestuff enterprises, the price of the international brand is still higher than that of the domestic brand, and the printing and dyeing plant has gradually digested because of the influence of the price rise of the foreign trade, which has risen by ten thousand or twenty thousand yuan per ton of dye before. In the future, the price increase of international brands should not be excessive. " Xuan Haiti said.

"The state's environmental policy has given the dye giants huge bargaining power. To meet the emission standards, as our downstream customers, we have less and less say. To this end, we must seek to solve the dilemma of being clamped by a small number of dye suppliers, and try to win the right to speak. For this reason, we also started looking for new suppliers through exhibitions and other channels last year. A person in charge of dyeing and printing enterprises in Keqiao, Shaoxing, told reporters.

Faced with the rising trend of dye prices, the experts gave the strategy: printing and dyeing enterprises must make efforts to reduce the adverse effects by staggering peak procurement, scaling down potential, reducing consumption, adjusting and optimizing the product mix and so on.

"However, energy saving measures only reflect the ability of printing and dyeing enterprises in R & D, energy saving and environmental protection, both in terms of improving dye utilization and improving the utilization rate of water circulation. These are not related to dye enterprises. Instead, we need to solve the problem of how much reasonable pricing of domestic reactive dyes. This is a problem that industry associations and media should pay close attention to. Ma Jianxin, chairman of rainbow printing and dyeing Co., told reporters.
