The price of caustic soda in some parts of eastern China has further upward trend

Drying equipment

According to various indications from China Drying News, the demand for liquid chlorine will continue to be sluggish. Chlor-alkali enterprises will not be able to enjoy the profits of caustic soda, and the strange phenomenon of using alkali to supplement chlorine will continue.

It is understood that liquid chlorine and caustic soda are the same as the downstream of the original salt, but the downstream of the two products is completely different, so the trend is obviously different. The downstream of liquid chlorine is mainly polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and downstream of caustic soda is mainly alumina, paper and chemical fiber industries. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and caustic soda are chemical products with excess capacity.

China Chlor-Alkali Association statistics show that by the end of 2011, the domestic production capacity of caustic soda and PVC were 34.12 million tons and 21.62 million tons respectively. This year, the planned new production capacity was 8.775 million tons and 4.98 million tons respectively; this corresponds to the disorderly growth of production capacity. However, the demand growth has been slow. From 2008 to now, the capacity utilization rate of the PVC industry has been lower than 80%, and the caustic soda industry is even lower than 60%.

Since the first half of the year, although domestic papermaking and chemical fiber orders have fallen significantly year-on-year, compared to downstream demand changes, the liquid chlorine market is the more important factor affecting the operating rate of caustic soda plants and the supply of caustic soda. "If the price of liquid chlorine has been low, the operating rate of the production plant will not go up and the supply of caustic soda will continue to be tense."

Many chlor-alkali production companies in East China, Southwest China, North China, and China have been confirmed. As the only profitable commodity in the chlor-alkali industry, they believe that the price of caustic soda will be mainly stable.

Shi Weimin, general manager of Sanguang Energy (China) Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Headquarters), told reporters that the price of caustic soda in some areas in East China has further upward trend. Hu Yanxi, director of the research institute of Henan Pingmei Shenma Group, said that the local supply of caustic soda is relatively tight, and prices are mainly stable. Wang Qiusheng believes that the current liquid chlorine market will take some time to recover. Due to liquid chlorine, manufacturers have been cautious in adjusting prices of caustic soda, so it is unlikely that prices will fall sharply.

Although the price of caustic soda is high, but chlor-alkali enterprises not only do not enjoy profitability, but also take real money to subsidize the loss of liquid chlorine; once the liquid chlorine market, but also to drive up the supply of caustic soda, thus caustic soda prices will decline. Under the pressure of overcapacity in the entire industry, it has been difficult for manufacturers to maintain the balance of chlor-alkali operations. It seems that this summer, the chlor-alkali business is really annoying.
