Styrene industry chain prices strong pull up, showing strong momentum to rise on the downstream linkage. On the one hand, the downstream products of ABS, EPS, styrene butadiene rubber (19335105, 0.55%) prices rose more than 10%, stable manufacturers started, to form a stable support for the whole industry chain of styrene; on the other hand, the upstream product benzene styrene continued upward outside a certain extent to stimulate the domestic market and domestic market supply of benzene. Tight price is hard to find, the industry of bullish prices, Sinopec raised storage space, the listing price increase homeopathy. The linkage effects on the lower reaches of the whole industry chain to promote the styrene prices.

Since December, the domestic market was soaring prices, prices rose about toluene to 5850~5950 yuan / ton (tank), rose nearly 600 yuan / ton at the end of 11, also a record highs for the year. At present, the domestic port east toluene inventory changes less, inventories increased slightly, trading atmosphere light temporarily. When the traditional off-season demand, winter temperatures, based on the expected demand shrinking downstream industries such as paint, and near the end of the year, the factory based on clear expectations. From the supply perspective, the supply is relatively stable, holding the goods inventory cost gradually high, with very price mentality.

Aromatic market or welcome back

In the days before the meeting of the Huaian chemical enterprises and financial solutions online promotion and Jiangsu Thailand online trading platform + financial services supply chain solutions signing ceremony, according to Jiangsu Thailand biotechnology to reflect the current shortage of chemical market, short-term there is still upward momentum.

The chemical industry analysts believe that the international crude oil price shocks, the market fundamentals support high rise aromatics. Benzene, styrene, toluene and other product prices are different degrees of pull up, no strong positive fundamentals, but the external support higher, the domestic spot Kongpan fried up, electronic disk Bikong strong, is not short off-season. In addition to the downstream after a period of follow up digestion, though limited, but still within the scope of the bear. Near the end of the year, the supply is relatively stable, there is no demand upward trend, the next plate price or aromatics fell back, but fell less likely to continue to follow up, the fundamentals of product and environment influence.

since November 2016, prices rose aromatic products. According to the business community monitoring, aromatic products prices rise significantly, especially the hydrogenation of benzene to benzene or up to 81.81%, or 76.77%, toluene or up to 19.86%, a number of products rose up to 2016 highs.

At the end of November, the international crude oil prices rebounded again open commodity chemical industry a new round of uplink channel, especially for tighter supply of products brought up an opportunity.

Benzene prices rose with the hydrogenation of benzene

November 1st ~12 month 14 days, benzene prices rose 2350 yuan / ton, or 43.44%. this is pure price since May 2015 for the first time exceeded 6000 yuan / ton, but still tied outside and the price of the market, after the market offer highs.

The reason is mainly the following two points: In November, Sinopec listing price and the market price spreads gradually widened, the spot market supply is tight, the market without low supply, holding the goods to market speculation rising offer rising petrochemical price and the market price spreads widening, petrochemical price kept up space, listing price up regulation. Secondly, the outer benzene prices continue to rise, the domestic market price to stimulate the formation of benzene.

As the hydrogenation of benzene to benzene related products since November, prices also surged, the market price from 5370 yuan / ton rose to 7920 yuan / ton, just over a month, up 2550 yuan / ton, the overall increase of 47.49%. the reason is that on the one hand the industry losses, enterprise comprehensive hydrogenation of benzene the operating rate is not high, but the downstream just need not reduce, resulting in spot market shortage, natural Jan Huojin price; the other is benzene prices strong, the two spreads continued to widen, provide the price for the same reason for hydrogenation of benzene.

Strong pull up the soaring price of styrene toluene

reported, Nanjing Qixia district police informed with the medical waste pollution case, the police suspect the actual verified purchase, reselling more than 3 thousand tons of medical waste, medical waste after these layers of hands, after processing is made of disposable plastic plates and inferior toys for children.

At the end of August this year, Nanjing Qixia Public Security Bureau to carry out the inventory of remediation action on the area of Yanziji area, found a recycling station Gu village store a large amount of medical infusion bag, infusion tube, infusion bottles and other medical wastes. Yanziji police station instructor Gu Wendong introduced, there are a large number of drug residue, live a very unpleasant smell, doped with needles, syringes, infusion tube, blood swab.”

More than 3 thousand tons of medical waste was made of plastic plate?

Then the police station to check the medical waste, were found with needle and infusion tube of medical waste is about 8.5 tons, antibiotic vial of about 5 tons, military Pidai or black plastic bags did not classify the species, the Nanjing Qixia police quickly to the scrap purchase station operators Zhang summoned.

Zhang told the police that since 2012 several medical waste recovery for resale. The police investigation found that Zhang and Guo Mouyou of Suqian business, Kwak 2000 yuan per ton to prices ranging from 2500 yuan to Zhang the acquisition of disposable plastic infusion bag, 2200 yuan per ton to 2800 yuan sold to prices ranging from processing factory production of plastic particles, and then the plastic particles factory produced by all over the country plastic market and network sales of plastic products manufacturers, production of new plastic products. As the home of Zhang also have their own purchase channels, Gu Wendong told reporters, “the source may be related to Nanjing more than a dozen hospitals, each hospital in about 10 tons, simple classification of glass to glass, plastic bottles to plastic bottles, infusion bags to the infusion bag.”

At present, the police actually verified, since 2012 Zhang acquisition of more than 3000 tons of medical waste reselling, the value of 4000 yuan, Zhang and Guo recently prosecuted, waiting for them will be severely punished by law. The number of cases involving Nanjing hospital, because of the need for the case, the police yet to the public.

The requirements of medical waste management regulations of our country, the implementation of centralized medical waste harmless disposal, the local people’s governments at or above the county level shall be responsible for organizing the construction of medical waste disposal facilities, prohibit the sale of medical waste any unit and individual transfer, Nanjing University Center for health and safety of guest lecturer Qi Zhiqiang believes that medical waste without formal treatment, not only pollute the environment, to the for example, if the waste plastic particles made by some unscrupulous manufacturers for the production of plastic daily necessities, the consequences will be unbearable to contemplate. Once into the informal channel, casually discarded will cause water or soil pollution, into the production of plastic products enterprises, these plastic products the dangers of illegal medical devices have higher.

The industrial chain: this week the benzene market prices continue to increase, the domestic market of benzene to discuss the market active, optimistic about the market outlook. At present, the downstream PU slurry, shoe sole device manufacturers running smoothly, terminal manufacturers sales performance is acceptable, adipic acid market prices rose rapidly, the manufacturers of raw materials of adipic acid market sentiment, on-demand procurement. The downstream industry cost pressure, raw material procurement cautious.

This week, the domestic industry: adipic acid Market Focus continued to move up, the market supply tight supply, prices will strongly adipic acid manufacturers, lower cost pressure, the talks deadlocked slightly. The domestic mainstream stock market of adipic acid, take the goods in general.

Market forecast

The upstream benzene Market sharply increase, the domestic market with prices of adipic acid, adipic acid market supply is tight, the lower cost pressures continue to increase, the market price is expected to have acid next week to maintain high on rising prices.

In 2016 second batch of central environmental protection inspectors work started, seven Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate has been set up, carry out environmental protection inspectors are responsible for the work of Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei, Guangdong, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Gansu and other seven provinces and cities, for a period of 1 months. It is reported that, as of November 30th, seven central environmental protection inspectors group has been fully implemented inspectors stationed. From the inspectors work, focus on the attention of the masses of the outstanding environmental problems, the central strong, bad social impact and treatment;

regional watershed remediation and deteriorate environmental quality inspection of key; key inspectors of local party and government and the relevant departments of environmental protection is not as chaotic as the focus on understanding the implementation of local environment; the protection of the party with responsibility and a pair of responsibility, strict accountability etc.. With groups of inspectors to enter, each unit operation difficult local inspectors. Among them, Hubei province is the main producing area of compound fertilizer, the proportion of national output is about 15%. In general, in December for the production of enterprises winter reserves enterprises to protect the spring season fertilizer, fertilizer, high load operation device. But in December this year, from the beginning of the beginning of the month, the local main business unit under the load of varying degrees of decline, individual enterprise device or even a comprehensive parking.

In addition, the recent air pollution is serious in some areas, many launched the emergency response, stop limit production, to reduce pollutant emissions. One of the main measures in Hebei released: the sword cut pollution and atmospheric pollution prevention action scheduling order without production requirements of industrial enterprises, will reduce the minimum air pollutant emissions by 50%. Affected by this, it is now the local compound fertilizer enterprise device under construction, some of the parking, late driving time to be determined. Henan area with heavy pollution weather, mainly for industrial pollution emission reduction measures taken, to ensure that the sulfur dioxide, smoke (powder) dust, nitrogen oxide emissions by more than 20%, while increasing the frequency of law enforcement inspection of key pollution sources. According to LIAN’s operating device for gold monitoring data show that at present the main compound fertilizer enterprises installation of the average operating rate of around 53%, down 5 percentage points compared with the end of the month, including Hubei and Hebei plant operating rate fell significantly, the operation of the Shandong, Henan local resistance device. From the process point of view, spraying device affected by the large drum ammoniation and relatively weak.

From the first batch of environmental inspectors results, eight provinces inspectors, a total fine of nearly 200 million yuan, more than 3 thousand people were accountable; in the inspectors during the local device parking, limit load is obvious; after the end of each inspector, provincial environmental protection department to check, supervise the rectification. In the “13th Five-Year” environmental protection plan, to make up the short board, to promote the development of green environment, environmental quality requirements, not only to better variation, not backslides; to further implement the “action plan” for prevention and control of atmospheric pollution, emissions significantly reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, especially in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, five provinces of Henan, “13th Five-Year” during the total coal consumption fell by about 10%. Is expected in the near future with the deepening of environmental inspectors, pollution control efforts to increase, the device operating rate in some areas or will further decline.
