By the end of 2016, the new factory of Pangang titanium industry successfully put into operation, the new factory Jin Hongshi Titanium dioxide The level of production reached 100 thousand tons, is expected in March 2017 will be smooth production line. Yunnan Chang Ze “Dong Hao Kunming Titanium Industry Co. Ltd” production. On 17 January, R-251 products Everfount success offline, through the detection of the indicators have been restored to the original level. Chang Ze total production capacity of 60 thousand tons a year. Realcan titanium industry located in Xichang, ready to resume production after the Spring Festival, the annual output will reach 60 thousand tons. This cumulative down, 2017, Chinese Titanium dioxide The industry will add nearly 200 thousand tons of Jin Hongshi Titanium dioxide Production capacity, which will greatly ease the supply situation in 2016.

In 2017, titanium dioxide market stable

At present, the titanium dioxide industry boom is good, the market is still in a rising channel, manufacturers of new orders less, mainly in the implementation of the new order. Most factory orders have received 17 years of 2 and March January, most manufacturers plan packed. Choose before stocking downstream enterprises in general, so 2 years later, in March downstream to goods mood is not high. Some manufacturers in February may try to pull up the price to stimulate the downstream to goods in advance. General trading market atmosphere by May. The second half of the year, a major turning point in the traditional September and October, if 7, 8 and two months of the season can be a smooth transition, then September and October February this season rose is not great. But the market is still in the supply and demand situation of the wind vane.

According to the current economic China government GDP growth, the overall economy should be slightly increased compared to 2016, this amount should be at least flat in 2016 and use the titanium dioxide in the downstream market, there is not much fluctuation, there will not be like 2015 downturn. So in 2017, Chinese titanium dioxide will not appear in 2016 a dozen times rising scene, largely dominated by smooth, supply situation will be relatively smooth. If there is no overall prices, January 2016 rising two or three times so fierce. What will be how to develop the specific market, let us wait and see.

in February 9th, is located in Anhui city of Tongling province Tongling Tongguanshan District Hengxing chemical limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as Hengxing chemical plant has been) in ruins, the surrounding roads and railways were covered with black tar, exudes a pungent smell.

On the evening of 8 at 22:50 PM, Hengxing chemical explosion. Tongling city official said, “Tongling micro-blog released” Hengxing chemical high boiling point solvent tank exploded after investigation, currently no deaths.

The cause of the accident, the official informed that the evening of February 9th, preliminary analysis may be a valve steam pipe is not closed to death, causing the tank of solvent oil temperature rose to the boiling temperature, solvent oil vapor due to pressure, gas and liquid high boiling point solvent ejected from the atmospheric pressure discharge pipe, in case of high fever caused by combustion after explosion.

In fact, for this Hengxing chemical, it is not the first time the occurrence of safety accidents caused by fire. As early as 9 years ago in March 9, 2008 five, Hengxing chemical phosphorus sulfide workshop burst fire.

Scene: the factory is in ruins

According to the “Tongling publishing” news, the evening of February 8th at 10:50 PM, Tongling Hengxing chemical high boiling solvent tank explosion, the investigation currently no deaths. According to the Anhui provincial fire brigade in February 9th released the news, then the investigation found that the location of the explosion in a factory for 100 cubic meters of open fuel tank, the storage tank for high boiling point oil, the scene of fire was burning fiercely, the possibility of a two explosion danger at any time, a capacity of 2 and a serious threat to the 100 cubic meters tank.

In this regard, Tongling Municipal Propaganda Department official told reporters on 9 February, by the fire brigade rescue, the fire in the night of February 8th 23:10 under control, 23:57 completely extinguished.

February 9th at noon, the “daily economic news” reporter arrived at the Tongguanshan District of Tongling City Hengxing chemical, in the field, there are two police cars parked in the factory, several police in maintaining order. Just enter the factory, the reporter saw a few workers in the clean ground glass (1339, 28, 2.14%), “this is the night of February 8th, the explosion shattered glass.”

After the explosion, the plant only scattered in various parts of the internal framework, including a huge gas tank, the whole plant is in ruins. In addition, the factory building across the glass windows were shattered all the windows and doors are damaged, not degree.

In addition, factories around the road and railway was covered with black tar, the reporter’s shoes is very easy to be stuck on the tar, and hard to move forward, at the same time these tar emitting a pungent odor, “when it exploded, within the plant tank are blown into the sky, the scene is very scary, when today the smell than last night explosion of a lot of good.” Go to work in the nearby factory Hengxing chemical master Li said.

Review: 9 years before the fire

In February 3rd 85% net water phosphate market price of 4298 yuan / ton, temporary price stability. The phosphate enterprises started to maintain a low, mainly in the pre orders, shipments in general.

February 4th Guangxi minglee Group Limited company of food grade phosphoric acid water purification factory price 4400 yuan / ton, industrial grade price 4380 yuan / ton, shipment, annual production capacity of 200 thousand tons of production equipment. Sichuan Jinshi Phosphorus Chemical Co., phosphate price 4400 yuan / ton, temporary price stability, the normal unit operation, take the goods in general. Sichuan Kanglong Chemical Co., Ltd. phosphate price 4350 yuan / ton, temporary price stability, the normal unit operation, take the goods in general. Huanghua pengfa Chemical Co. Ltd. phosphate factory price 4600 yuan / ton (excluding tax), the actual transaction price is flexible, the unit runs smoothly, shipment. Shifang Huarong Technology Co., Ltd. phosphate factory price 4100 yuan / ton, temporary price stability, the unit runs smoothly, production capacity of 30 thousand tons / year, the current operating rate of 100%, shipment.

At present, the domestic prices of upstream raw materials fell phosphate phosphorus phosphate cost support face weak, weak downstream fertilizer market demand, trading volume is insufficient, Guadan, with sporadic small single, affected by the upstream raw materials, in the short term there is still downward phosphate body space, mainly to see the downstream demand.

In January, the domestic acetic acid market fell sharply. As of the end of the month, China to discuss the market in 2750-2950 yuan / ton, the monthly average price of 2893 yuan / ton, down 4.02%, an increase of 49.76%. In mid December acetic acid market prices rose to a high, the downstream purchase mentality turn cautious, in January after the factory shipments more pressure, inventory accumulation, the overall social inventories increased significantly.

Coupled with the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year, a large number of downstream acetate factory shutdown, slash of acetic acid and acetic acid during the rigid demand, no parking plan for the Spring Festival, during the Spring Festival to reduce inventory pressure, the factory has a row of library needs to discuss the market focus has shifted. Coupled with the methanol market weakness down, facing the lack of supporting raw material acetic acid acetic acid market, the market continued downward. After the end of intermediaries and downstream users gradually leave, discuss the market reduced market is maintained.

Prediction: the current acetic acid social inventory is high, but the main downstream equipment is gradually resume production, holding cargo shipments increased, industry mentality has improved, but the short-term market supply and demand contradiction difficult to effectively alleviate the situation, coupled with the raw material of methanol market atmosphere instability, acetic acid, short-term there is still narrow downside risk. But with lower production recovery, is expected to ease pressure on the stock factory, acetic acid market atmosphere will be stable.

At present, 50% powder mainstream price at 2400

-2500 yuan / ton, the actual turnover still talks. Qinghai area of potassium sulfate does

not run smoothly, transportation has not been good to ease. Now 50/51% powder station

prices of more than 2300 yuan / ton. SDIC k-lo prices continued early, 51% powder station

price 2450 yuan / ton, 52% powder at the price of 2500 yuan / ton, shipping is still not

too smooth, tight volume by region.

At present, the upstream prices of potassium chloride, potassium sulfate is expected in

the short term price stability oriented.
