what is the purpose and the performance of Natural rubber?

the purpose and the performance of Natural rubber
Health and natural rubber glue temperature glass of -72 ℃, plastic flow temperature 130 ℃, the beginning of decomposition temperature 200 ℃, intense decomposition temperature 270 ℃. When natural rubber vulcanization, the increase in Tg, it will not happen again flow.
Natural rubber flexibility
Rubber and its cross-linking density is not too high vulcanizate flexibility is high. For example, 0-100 ℃, flexibility in the back between 50-85 ℃, the modulus of elasticity of steel is only 1 / 3000, the elongation up to 1000 percent, stretching to 350%, after the permanent back Deformation of only 15% of natural rubber flexibility relatively high, second only to the common rubber in butadiene rubber.
The strength of natural rubber
In the elastic material, natural rubber, raw rubber, rubber, rubber vulcanization of higher intensity. Vulcanization of rubber is not known as the tensile strength of Green's strength, natural rubber Green strength of up to 1.4 ~ 2.5Mpa, the appropriate strength for the green rubber molding process is necessary. Natural rubber has a higher tear strength, up to 98kN / m, its wear resistance is also good. Natural rubber high mechanical strength because it is self-reinforcing rubber, when the time will stretch along the chain molecules form a crystal orientation of the direction of stress.
The electrical properties of natural rubber
Natural rubber non-polar material is a good insulating material. When natural rubber vulcanization, as a result of the introduction of polar factors, such as sulfur, to promote, etc., so that the insulation performance.
Natural rubber-resistant properties of media
Natural rubber is a non-polar substances, which dissolve in non-polar and non-polar solvent oil. Cyclohexane intolerance natural rubber, gasoline, benzene, and other media, not vulcanized rubber in the above-mentioned medium dissolved, the vulcanized rubber is swelling. Natural rubber is not soluble in the polar acetone, ethanol, not soluble in water, 10% hydrofluoric acid-resistant, 20% of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid 30%, 50% sodium hydroxide and so on.
The main use of natural rubber
Natural rubber for its highly flexible and sound insulation, plastic, impermeable trap, tensile and wear characteristics, widely used in industry, agriculture, defense, communications, transportation, machine building, medicine and public health in the field And daily life, and so on, such as transportation, with the tire; industry with the transport belt, belt, a variety of ring; of medical gloves, vascular lose; used in the daily life of the rubber shoes, raincoats, are Nuanshui Dai The main raw materials for rubber manufacturers, defense of the use of aircraft, artillery, tanks, even the most advanced technology in the field of rockets, satellites, spacecraft, space shuttles have to be a lot of rubber parts

How to make foam rubber tires?

EPDM rubber foam with a high degree of chemical stability, excellent insulation properties, anti-aging properties, and good mechanical strength. Can also choose to add side of the rubber foam approach to the realization of foam products. As for the prices of products according to the requirements of the appropriate election materials to achieve high-quality, high-performance (profit). Depends on the processing equipment requirements, the rolling type, type of die-casting, plastic injection type. Die, steel, steel CALCINED, cast aluminum, such as the bronze, according to the specific needs of their clientele.

Thailand to be the next six months to cut rubber production 50%

The world's largest rubber producers - Thailand's Ministry of Agriculture Monday said that in order to protect the price of rubber, Thailand from October 2008 start of the next 6 months, the reduction of 700,000 tons of rubber production.

Thailand Ministry of Agriculture in charge of rubber Saenkaew Affairs Minister, said Thailand planned from October 2008 to March 2009 period to cut 50% of rubber production and encourage farmers to reduce the tapping. It is understood that 50% of the production plan is to Thailand from October 2007 to March 2008 during the production of 1,400,000 tons on the basis of the decision. The output is equivalent to the size of Thailand in 2008, about 3,100,000 tons forecast production of around 23%. Thailand's rubber production in 2007 to 3,000,000 tons.

Saenkaew said that the Thai government's goal is to reduce the 25-year-old more than a year old trees covering an area of 64,000 hectares at present to 32,000 ha per year. The Thai government to encourage farmers planting new trees and tree felling.

Saenkaew said that as a reduction in the supply of rubber part of the plan, from October 2008 to March 2009, Thailand will also reduce the domestic spot rubber trading center of the trading day. Day trading is expected to reduce the 2-3 days a week, in response to the drop in supply.

At present, the international benchmark --- Thai RSS3 rubber spot rubber prices Monday reported that 1.85 U.S. dollars per kilogram, while in July this year, the price had hit 56-year record high of 3.25 U.S. dollars. In the face of the global financial crisis, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and rubber big powers are under attack, and cautious consumer sentiment.
Actively respond to ethylene industry downturn cycle

According to authoritative statistics agency predicted that the 2010 World ethylene production capacity will reach 155,000,000 tons, from 2006 to 2010 the average annual growth rate of 6.8 percent; demand will reach 133,000,000 tons / year with an average annual growth rate of 4.9 percent. Due to a large number of new devices will be 2009 to 2010, together with the development of the petrochemical industry's cyclical characteristics of the ethylene industry will inevitably downward into the channel, in 2010 the ethylene plant operating rate to fall to 85%. At the same time, the world's ethylene industry is stepping up its focus to Asia and the Middle East shift to large-scale ethylene plant to continue to develop in the direction of raw materials showed the trend of diversification.

At present, China has become the world's second largest producer of ethylene, ethylene single device the size of an average of over 454,000 tons / year, the market is very competitive. Experts point out that, in the face of the industry cycle downturn, China's ethylene industry needs to rely on scientific and technological progress, vigorously promote the development of ethylene technology and equipment, advanced technology and equipment, do a good job in the new building plant and the technical transformation of existing devices, Lower investment costs and improve the skill level of ethylene plant; integrated refining and give full play to the advantages of ethylene raw materials optimization; to take effective measures to conscientiously do a good job in saving energy and reducing consumption and long-period operation; do a good job in cracking the use of the by-products to enhance the value of by-products Strive to improve China's ethylene industry's competitiveness.
Yee-gum maker breach of contract negotiations after-effect storm remains to be seen

Following the breach of contract after the storm swept through rubber market in the near future on how to deal with the buyers of non-payment of goods, the sanctions for breach of contract lose the trust of Chinese buyers into the market that the focus of the heat. On the 24th of this month coincides with Malaysia in rubber will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, it's from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the three major rubber producing countries and major trading nations of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce Poly a plastic in the exchange market as a whole at the same time a breach of contract , Breach of contract to explore measures to solve the crisis of the next step.

The default crisis, due to start in July's market drop, especially since the National Day vacation almost in a straight line down the market fell into the water. By the financial crisis triggered by falling commodity prices in the rubber market can be fully reflected, since the end of September, set apart from cargo quote 2800 U.S. dollars / ton drop from the current 1800 U.S. dollars / ton, less than one-third decline in January One of the much higher than the 10-20% of the contract deposit ratio, making buyers hesitate to take some of the default mode in order to stop.

It was part of the supplier, according to the current Chinese buyers refused to buy the performance of the quantity of goods has more than 10,000 tons, which are sourced from Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia and other major rubber producing countries. Some of the lower reaches of large-scale acts of breach of contract factories, but also make the Southeast Asian suppliers to domestic buyers have serious doubts about the integrity.

South-East Asia are forced to rubber began to seek to safeguard their own interests. Malaysia's annual meeting, the plastic will have to exchange Chinese breach of the list of buyers, with a view to future trade alert. But whether or not to introduce sanctions to be truly effective, the majority of operators who hold conservative views.

Industry, the current buyer's breach of the collective, which is fundamental for the development of a contract for the sale when buyers pay less bound by the performance. At present, imports of rubber contract payment terms, the buyer is the basic conclusion of the contract, the first wire deposit a certain percentage (the ratio for more than 10-15%, some 30%), and the remaining amount of the contract through the acceptance letters of credit or money order to pay Section. Chinese buyers because of limited capital, with most of the current Acceptance mainly to take only a few letters of credit practices. Acceptance of a lack of bank credit guarantees, if market prices fell more than the ratio of deposit, buyers tend to refuse acceptance, resulting in a completely passive operation of the seller. According to the Trade and easy to understand, has taken a number of high-pay letter of credit or deposit of the contract, the performance is significantly better, plastic business interests are better protected.

But can improve through the implementation of the letter of credit deposit ratio, or to protect the buyer to pay the normal performance? It has been easy to trade on the part of the investigation of the industry, the industry generally more conservative attitude. High deposit or letter of credit for the buyer to pay up more money, credit higher in the current domestic downstream plants in general are facing slow tire sales, capital of the tense backdrop, the practice is quite difficult in the short term is bound to cause China to buy House opposition and resistance. In addition, the effective implementation of the above methods depends on the solidarity of the Group of the seller, once part of the glue business for the customer to relax the terms for China, is likely to lead to further industry-wide return to their own state.

Industry, said the market from a realistic point of view, self-adhesive's more realistic. It is reported that some of the glue will be adjusted according to their Chinese customers for sales strategy, such as customer ranking, respectively, to take a different mode of cooperation for the exchange at the black customers by charging a higher deposit to avoid risks; for breach of contract Storm faith in the performance of the client, follow the pre-deposit ratio of 10-15%, reduce the capital occupied by the buyer.

Malaysia's annual meeting, the seller is a group that in the current crisis in breach of China's first exchange of the General Assembly. In the absence of a strong coalition of interests, the market for the General Assembly's ability to put effective solutions to the crisis, will continue to take wait-and-see attitude.
Matai and India agreed to the three countries to develop export of rubber under the limit

It is reported that a few days ago in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, the three countries agreed that the minimum export price of rubber per kg to 1.6 U.S. dollars to develop, such as rubber prices per kilogram in the United States below 1.6 U.S. dollars, the countries will be reduced by 10% of exports.
Vietnam rubber business inventories as a result of increased rubber prices

Rubber prices fell sharply in the near future, as a result of higher than the cost price, the Vietnam Rubber increase in business inventories.

October 22, Vietnam SVR rubber and rubber RSS from 57,000,000 Shield / ton fell quickly to shield 27,000,000 / tonne, many companies inventory backlog.

It is reported that Vietnam's rubber industry estimates the average cost of harvesting rubber resin million for the 2800-3000 Shield / ton. As of October 14, the last one month of Mong Cai market price of rubber fell to 27,000,000 Shield / ton, no one to buy. Prior to that, because of lower prices, rubber goods companies cover Hard Trading in a Dream, hoping to like in October 2007, customers need to purchase rubber, stocks of all kinds, prices. Now, the cost is higher than the sales price, business-to-sales have been indifferent, each of the stocks of small companies have 400-500 tons of rubber, rubber stocks of large enterprises in the 1000-2000 tonnes.

Vietnam Rubber Association of the Secretary-General Cui-hua Chen's view, usually with the rubber price rise in international oil prices, high crude oil prices rose to 140 U.S. dollars / barrel, the fluctuation range to reach 65-80 dollars, so the low price of rubber mixed by the world's favorite . Now, the financial crisis in the United States and Europe, economic recession, the Vietnam Rubber season (September to December) the supply of natural rubber in a rapid increase in the fourth quarter. These factors combined, resulting in rubber prices.

Vietnam Rubber Industry Group, Le Quang-chun, general manager of the Vietnamese rubber industry remains optimistic. He believes that the export prices, and rubber plantation industry is still a successful season. Group rubber output in 2008 reached 320,000 tons, the average budget plan for a shield 36,000,000 / ton, as a result of high prices at the beginning, you can now make up the difference between the low-cost, to achieve 40,000,000 rupiah average price / ton, higher than the budget price 4,000,000 Shield / ton, more than 30% in profit margins. Rubber prices have risen to 60,000,000 Shield / ton, and that price is speculation, not actual prices, producers and consumers have damage.
Indonesia: rubber exports by the end of normal

Rubber export performance this year, not a recession in the U.S. economy, the end of the year because of the export contract has been signed. Indonesia President of the General Federation of rubber entrepreneurs Bastagli said that the number from the point of view, rubber exports to the U.S. economic impact is not clear. "Contracts have been signed, waiting for the delivery." Bastagli said. Today, Indonesia's natural rubber is still the major markets of the United States, accounting for 26.8 percent of its shares, Japan, China and Singapore followed, were 16.5 percent, 14.2 percent and 6.7 percent. Large car makers will be rubber as raw materials, these companies have in other countries, the Indonesian natural rubber exports were still growing.

Chairman of the view that now is the need to pay attention to commodity prices remained low, the export volume has decreased. Chairman of the Riau branch of high-Marie also said the United States over the financial crisis has not affected the performance of Indonesia's natural rubber exports, as demand remains normal next year. "One next year, in February the United States will continue to import rubber Indonesia." He said. He said that speculators now Japan's acts of international rubber prices, the Chinese demand also fell.
Thailand rubber production association decided to 1,400,000 tons in order to enhance Jiaojia

It is learned that the rubber price is too low to alleviate the current situation, Thailand rubber tapping Association recently decided to stop for 6 months, reducing the output of 1,400,000 tons in order to raise prices of rubber.

The association said that the decision was made on the basis of market supply and demand in the market, I believe that we can effectively promote the rubber market supply and demand balance.

Indonesia to cut rubber production and exports in order to support rubber prices

Oct. 16, Indonesia, a senior industry said Thursday that the Indonesian government plans to cut rubber production and exports 30% up to the rapid decline in rubber prices.

Indonesian Rubber Association, Suharto Honggokusumo chairman, said, "the Ministry of Agriculture has asked farmers to the frequency of self-tapping is usually adjusted every two days for the first time every three days, in order to reduce the supply of raw materials entering the market."

"If this will be effective immediately, although several measures are optional."

In 2007, Indonesia's natural rubber output was 2,400,000 tons, is located in Thailand after the world's second largest rubber producing countries, Thailand's annual rubber output of about 3,100,000 tons.

On the market because of health concerns in the global economy, as well as the automobile industry and the decline in the demand for crude oil prices have fallen sharply, and so on, rubber prices have dropped to a low of the past two years, and in June this year, rubber prices had hit a record high.

Indonesia is expected this year will produce about 2,900,000 tons of rubber.

Thursday, Thai RSS3 rubber was quoted at 186 cents per kilogram, and in late June at 320 cents per kilogram.

Rubber International Union (International Rubber Consortium, IRCo) this week to discuss support natural rubber prices of specific measures.

The organization from the world's three major rubber producing countries - Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia in 2001, the three countries accounting for the world's total rubber output of the supply of more than 70%.

Although the members of the IRCo officials declined to discuss the meeting. But market participants expected that the organization will discuss measures to intervene in the market, including possible measures to limit the supply of rubber in the international market in order to reduce excess capacity, to its inventory in order to rubber at higher prices when they sell again.

However, there is a market on Indonesia to cut rubber production project can really get the support of farmers and implementation.

Singapore, a spot dealer said, "small-scale farmers and growers need to survive, they need to pay bills, the need to support their families. Estimated that the majority of farmers will not really be 30% of the output cut."
Vietnamese rubber exports in the fourth quarter is expected to be steady year-on-year

Vietnamese rubber exports in the fourth quarter is estimated at 200000-300000 t, generally steady at the level of the same period in 2007.

Comprehensive news on October 15, Vietnam Rubber Industry Group, the manager of the export sector, said Dinh Van Tien, Vietnam is estimated that in 2008 the export volume is expected in the fourth quarter and 2007 largely unchanged from the same period, is expected in the 200000-300000 t, depending on In the next few weeks the price of exports.

Vietnam Rubber Industry Group is the country's largest rubber exporter.

Tien also said that the recent decline in international rubber prices has affected Vietnam's rubber industry. At present, the local company's selling price for rubber 30,000,000 VND (1815 U.S. dollars) / ton higher than in July when it fell by 50%, and may continue to decline in rubber prices. But the rubber shipments in 2007 than the increase in export value will exceed last year's 1.4 billion.

January to September, the Vietnam Rubber exports 1,256,000,000 U.S. dollars, compared with the same period in 2007, exports declined by 8.0 percent, but the value of domestic exports increased by 33.6 percent.
Myanmar rubber plantation industry status quo

Russia, which accounts for half of the tire production, in addition to Russia's tire production by 25% of exports. Experts predict that by 2010 Russia's tire market sales volume will be increased to 70,000,000, while sales growth will also be speeding. At the same time, Russia's domestic car market share continue to be imported cars in Russia and imported cars to replace the assembly. This requires a higher quality of the tire, that is, to demand the transfer of high-end products.

First of all, Russia is due to the high-priced tire imports to increase. And import growth ahead of the trend is continuing. Experts predict that by 2010 the Russian market, Asia's share of production will exceed 25%. For high-quality Chinese-made tires enterprise business.
Three factors led to the global tire industry earnings decline

September 25, the China Rubber Industry Association Tire Branch of the Secretary-General Tsai said that people from home and abroad in the near future the major tire companies announced in the first half of the statements, subject to price hikes of raw materials, market demand and scale down the expansion led to an over-supply of products, 2008 World tire industry and mechanical engineering industries as earnings decline, the pace of development has been slow.
Tire Branch of the Under-Secretary-General Yu-kun on analysis, the global tire industry to slow down the pace of the first major factor is the high oil prices drive tire raw materials increased rapidly. This year, rubber, carbon black and other raw materials rose substantially more than 30%, production costs increased rapidly. Despite the tire business has taken measures to increase the cost of digestion, but it is difficult to digest some of the raw materials prices offset the impact. This is evident from the statements of the enterprise can be seen. Bridgestone notice, in the first half profit fell 30 percent, and forecast profit this year than last year dropped 50%. Michelin in the first half operating profit decreased by 2 percentage points. China's raw materials up to the tire pressure caused by larger enterprises. According to the tires of 42 branch members to statistics, from 1 to August this year, profits fell 15%, loss-making enterprises amounted to 11, for the most in recent years.
Impact of the tire industry's second-largest factor is the overall demand in North America in particular, market demand has dropped significantly. As the U.S. sub-loan crisis and the deteriorating economy, the United States Rubber Manufacturers Association predicted that North America this year and next year by using tires, light truck tires, truck tire market demand will decline. The United States is China's tire exports important target market, affected by Chinese tire exports began to fall sharply. According to the statistics branch of tires, 42 tire companies this year, export growth has declined markedly. 1 to a total export volume in August year-on-year increase of just 9.6 percent, and 24.6 percent over the same period of last year's level of growth to form a great contrast.
Yu-kun on the view that affect the tire industry's third-largest factor is the global expansion of production capacity to make an over-supply of products. At present, the world's tire sales in more than 50% of Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear Tire giant is still 3 expansion capital, and the tire to invest and build factories in China and the expansion could be more obvious. According to statistics, China now has all-steel radial truck tire production capacity of more than 70,000,000 / year, while demand in China was only about 40,000,000. According to the statistics branch of tires, 1 to August this year, 42 companies stock up 37.8 percent. Industry sales before the 6 year-on-year increase in business inventories in more than 30%. Now, some of our tire businesses have been taken "to open the second five-stop" measures to limit production.
Japan's Showa Denko-butadiene rubber plant capacity expansion of production capacity by 15%

The device is the current test phase, according to the plan is expected to open in early October. CR is the most powerful company Showa Denko chlorine derivatives products.
Vietnam's rubber export earnings may be reached 1,500,000,000 U.S. dollars

Vietnamnewsnet.vn, according to reports Monday said that the Vietnamese rubber industry in the first 6 months of export earnings of more than 6 billion U.S. dollars in 2008 is expected to Vietnam this year, rubber export earnings may be as much as 15 million. Based on the main rubber prices in the international market, Vietnam's domestic harvest vast areas of rubber, such as the Central Highlands, central and south-east and so on, get a good harvest. Vietnam, is now the world's fourth largest rubber exporter, export prices for the 2800-3000 US dollars / ton, to increase farmers hope.
Thailand's rubber production in 2009 is expected to increase to 3,300,000 tons

President of the Thai Rubber Association of Thailand is expected to rubber production in 2008 reached 3,100,000 tons, and as a result of rising Jiaojia gum to stimulate the expansion of agricultural acreage, rubber production in 2009 is expected to reach 3,300,000 tons.

Thai Rubber Association said that in the near future LuckchaiKittipol, Thailand in 2008 natural rubber production is estimated at 3,100,000 tons, annual output in 2009 is expected to reach 3,300,000 tons.

LuckchaiKittipol said that the increase in the supply of rubber from Thailand to the north-western region, mainly because farmers

Am glad to see that in 2008 prices will stimulate them to expand cultivation.

Thailand is the world's largest natural rubber producer and exporter. According to the Thai Rubber Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, 200

7 natural rubber production in Thailand to 3,060,000 tons, and exports to 2,700,000 tons.
Russian-Georgian conflict in Russia after the tire industry status quo

Hankook Tire in the second quarter of this year, despite sales growth of 16%, but operating profit fell, it was estimated the cost of raw materials than last year, up 24.3 percent.

The North American market shows signs of winter

North America is the world's largest tire production and marketing of the region, the world's barometer of the tire situation. As the U.S. sub-loan crisis and the deteriorating economic situation, the direct inhibition of the automobile demand. Relevant data show that the United States in the first half of this year, new car sales year-on-year decline in more than 17% to its lowest point this century. Lead to low demand for automotive tire sales in North America continued to decline. Bridgestone, Michelin in the first half of this year in the United States, there has been a marked decline in tire sales. In addition, the Rubber Manufacturers Association of the United States believes that by using fetal retail market this year will be reduced by 1% to reach 202,000,000. As the U.S. economy in 2009 will be in dire straits, take the child to use the retail market sentiment improvement. 2008 young-child card retail sales to fall by 7% up to 32,000,000, will continue to decline next year by 5%. In the replacement tire market, medium / wide-base / high-speed heavy-duty commercial truck tire sales may decline 3.5 percent to 16,000,000. The original market, the association forecasts original tires card market this year, sales fell 11% to 41,000,000, a 11-year low.

Disinfection is not afraid of the new rubber seal material

All with oil, grease, as well as in situ CIP cleaning and disinfection liquid, or SIP in situ steam heat contact with each other, sanitation and disinfection requirements of the seals, or permeable membrane technology demanding pieces of molding applications, the new FKM material Show that its unique advantages.

Trelleborg's research and development of a new type of fluorinated rubber compounds have amazing performance. This use of the material conditions of the seals can meet the standards in some of the best material for sealing the request. It tells us that technology is constantly updated for more than a standard.

CIP cleaning in situ and in situ SIP disinfection technology, as well as steam heat sterilization techniques, all of the "sterile" to use the occasion of the seals, membrane permeability and other raw materials, parts and components made of high demands. In order to be able to afford a long period of thinner, acid and high temperature hot, Trelleborg's research and development of a new type of synthetic material - FKM fluorinated rubber compounds Resifluor 500.

This material has a very good performance over the EPDM, fluorine rubber and elastomer materials such as fluoride. It is not only suitable as a dynamic but also can be used as static seals in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical production and food manufacturers to use, especially in those seals should not only contact with the products, but also with detergent and disinfectant , Or come into contact with hot steam occasions. For example, flow control valves in the equipment seals, pipeline junction of the seals. All that is the temperature at 60 ~ 90 ℃ between the components of cleansing and disinfection, or 130 ~ 150 ℃ steam disinfection of parts and components can use this material seals.

The high performance of anti-stripping

In the seals, molding pieces of membrane penetration and the design of the structure should be noted that the parts should be easy to clean and can not clean to the health of the dead. As the need for sanitation and disinfection of the parts are cleaned by the water when high-speed impact, so the use of building materials should have a very high anti-stripping performance.

In addition, the CIP in situ cleaning, and immersion with toluene, acetone and ethane, such as cleaning fluid immersion cleaning methods, in the production of medical products in the cleaning equipment would also like to note that parts of corrosion-resistant chemical.

Resifluor series of VCT 90 and VCT 95 by the non-polarization, non-acidic fluoride of fluorinated elastomers made from polymer, has a high resistance to alkali, acid, thinner and performance. 150 ℃ in temperature, 30% potassium hydroxide solution soak in 3 days, potassium hydroxide content of just 12%. Both materials are to meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA with the relevant provisions of the meet USP <88> (USP Class VI), as well as from October 2006 entry into force of the EU 1935/2004 directive.
Malaysian rubber glove exports this year expected to grow 6%

Rubber into the market vulnerable to further adjustment may be lower

So far this year, subject to weather, plant diseases and insect pests, as well as crude oil prices rising rapidly, and other factors, the domestic rubber (information, prices) higher average prices. However, the price of crude oil fell by market fundamentals, as well as weakness in drag, the spot rubber prices in the near future loose, but the market traded flat still, a strong wait-and-see atmosphere. Industry analysts believe the market will be transferred to the rubber vulnerable to seasonal adjustment, and further down the possibility.

In June after the rubber price trend down into the high stage of consolidation. According to the monitoring, in July the second half of the average domestic rubber price 25,883 yuan / ton higher than in July rose a slight 0.2 percent in the first half. Among them, butadiene rubber rose 1.3 percent, SBR rose 0.5 percent, while imports rose 3 Yan Pianjiao 0.2 percent, on the 5th China-made plastic marked down 0.6 percent.

On the supply factor, the recent increase in the supply of seasonal rubber. In August, affected by weather conditions improve, the main rubber producing countries into high-yield stage, a large number of new sources of plastic made of rubber supply to the market gradually relaxed. According to the Indonesian Rubber Department data show that Indonesia 4-7 for the month of rubber production 238,900 tons, representing a 30.4 percent increase over the same period last year. August 8, Shanghai Futures Exchange inventories of natural rubber to 34,575 tons, an increase over the previous week, 24.8 percent higher than on June 20 increased 105.3 percent.

From the demand side, the slowdown in demand for downstream industries. By the global economic slowdown, high raw material prices, and other factors, tires and auto manufacturing demand weakness Out. National Bureau of Statistics data show that in the first half of the national production of tires (including all kinds of tire) a total of 280,656,000, an increase of 12.8 percent, an increase of the same period last year dropped by nearly 11 percentage points; tire exports in June fell 6.4 percent; 6 For the month of the National Automobile production grew 14.8 percent year-on-year growth rate over the same period last year, down 13 percentage points. Other rubber production growth also slowed emergence.

The significant downturn in crude oil prices also reduced the price of rubber support. Since July 11 Chonggao to 147.25 U.S. dollars / barrel on the top of the peak, the international crude oil futures prices down into the channel, has now dropped to 115 U.S. dollars / barrel, the price of rubber on the role of weakening support. Recently, in the oil branch of butadiene rubber offer down 600-800 yuan per ton, a ton of SBR offer reduction in the 200-600 million.

Of these, Shandong exported 37,460,000, an increase of 3.3 percent, accounting for 23.1 percent, continue to maintain the largest export status of the province; Jiangsu exported 30,090,000, an increase of 30.5 percent; Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian were exported 25,360,000, 20,070,000 and 1717 10,000 showed a slight growth.

Second, in the first half of 2008 Chinese tire exports of the main reasons for slow growth

On the one hand, as resources such as oil prices rise quickly, the major tire manufacturers of raw materials, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black and steel prices are high, coupled with the July 1, 2007 tires from the export tax rebate rate 13% to 5% of the rapid appreciation of the yuan increase, as well as national resources and environmental management, such as family influence, the tire industry profit margins squeezed by the Chinese tire in the international market, "low-cost, low price" advantage of the gradual loss of Tire exports significantly reduced power.

On the other hand, domestic exports of tires continued to enlarge the size of the tires in China has become the subject of trade barriers in international trade most frequently, the highest number of one of the industry, particularly in developing countries has become the main anti-dumping, involved in the case of goods from low-value-added Products to the proliferation of high value-added products, as well as technical barriers, the pressure of public opinion surveys and 337, and other means of trade protection after another, China's tire exports face escalating trade barriers, export environment is getting nervous.

Third, the current areas of concern

China's tire exports of the two largest markets, the European Union and the United States were to implement the "REACH legislation" and the security parameters FMVSS139 tire testing standards, further raising the threshold for access to the tires, and increase China's enterprises to promote their products in overseas markets more difficult. In addition, in recent years because of China's tire industry, the proportion of foreign investment have relaxed restrictions on foreign-funded enterprises in China's expansion has taken shape, Bridgestone, Hankook, Kumho and Jia Tong and other international giants of the occupation of the Chinese market Have shown strong interest. China and more than 600 local tire business as a result of a weak foundation, backward technology and the lack of funds, and other factors, both domestic and international markets will be squeezed, the prospects for the development of the industry cause for concern.

To this end: First, strengthen and guide the development of tire industry, to promote professional development, and further optimize the product mix, lower product homogenization caused by fierce competition; the second is to strengthen the tire industry investment and exports, continue to regulate Tire industry operating order, and to resolve trade barriers faced the risk; Third, give full play to the coordinating role of industry organizations to strengthen the domestic market environment, enhance their ability to deal with trade barriers.
2010 Russian tire market will rise 40%

According to the analysts predicted that by 2010, tire sales for the year 70,000,000.

According to the Financial Business Administration's assessment of the tire market in 2007 Russia's total volume of about 50,000,000, compared with the same period rose 15%, the amount of more than 100,000,000,000 rubles. "Emujieer - Ferrero Czech Shitai En" and "Bull tin - Russia tire," the two major tire companies in a market leading position.
Tire giant ten Chinese gambling market

More than half a year of rumors Ma licensing tire plant in China has finally made below. August 6, Hefei Industrial Development and Reform Department, told reporters: "Germany mainland Ma licensing tire plant in Hefei has been submitted for approval in the National Development and Reform Commission, Ma set up the tire through the national licensing examination and approval there is no fundamental obstacles through only a matter of time Sooner or later the issue is expected by the end of August, there was news. "

According to reports, commissioned by the National Development and Reform Commission, China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute of China Ma licenses technology tire projects, products, programs, comprehensive utilization of resources, land, energy, social impact assessment.

So far, including the tire giant Bridgestone, Pirelli and Michelin and so on in the world's top ten tire manufacturers all set up China in the near future the giant tires that are increasing their investment in China, the Chinese gambling market.

150,000,000 euros for the first China Game

July 28, Ma licensing tire plant in Hefei declared officially launched. Ma licensing tires in Hefei new office will have overall responsibility for the company in Hefei of investment projects.

It is understood that Ma set up the basic licensing tire project in Hefei High-tech Zone South Zhen, investment 150,000,000 euros to build an annual output of 4,250,000 passenger radial tire project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2010, Ma was in the tires licensing of Chinese investment in construction The first tire production base.

The factory is equipped with the most advanced tire production and environmental protection technology, the major passenger car tire production to meet the Chinese market for high-end passenger car tire. In addition to the construction of the project rubber mixing, preparation of semi-finished products such as the production line, built at the same time to deal with biological and chemical smell hot rubber mixing equipment, sulfide gas processing equipment, such as environmental protection facilities.

According to the plan, China tires license Ma after the completion of the project, annual sales of up to 1,870,000,000 yuan, investment profit margins as high as 31.9 percent, better economic returns.

Hefei Industrial Development and Reform Commission official said that a year ago, Ma licensing and tire company HEFEI outerwear talks to invest and build factories in Hefei, Hefei eyes of the main advantage, optimize the allocation of resources, human resources and government services, Ma The card will also invest and build factories in Anhui Province to promote the development of the automobile industry.

Hefei car tires and rubber industries have a strong industrial base, industrial clustering effect has become more and more mainland Ma licensing tires in the project as high-end passenger tires, tires mainland Ma licensing completed and put into production after will be Ma Hefei card, good pass "two - Wheel drive ", China's largest tire maker to.

According to sources Hefei Development and Reform Commission, Ma and licensing negotiations, tires, tires licensing Ma said there are plans to increase further, the country will need approval, or first, and so on the project through the approval again.

In order to meet the new plant with an annual output of future production capacity of 4,000,000, as well as technical and production personnel needs of a large number of horses tire card in the Asia Pacific region human resources director Klaus Luetzenkirchen recently have begun to study the local colleges and universities in Hefei, I hope to do a good job through the relevant channels Human resources, human resources selection work.

Tire giant Chinese gambling market

With the licensing Ma tire plant in China to finalize the world top 10 tire manufacturers, all land in China. As the major automobile manufacturers in China are ambitious to seize the market, foreign investors are not tire giant soft mouth, one after another point in the first place.

As of the end of 2006, foreign investment enterprises in China Tire, 19, has 36 factories in China's tire production in 2006 reached 280,000,000, sales of 1,235 billion yuan. China has become the world's largest tire producer, the China market accounted for 18% of the world. By 2010, the Chinese tire market's total demand will reach 300,000,000.

Bridgestone, Hankook, Kumho, Jia Tong, and other foreign companies have said that China will focus on market share in the first goal, which is more than 20%, which means that the four foreign brands desire to carve up 80% of the Chinese market.

China's huge market can cause giant's desire to invest, foreign giants this year, just over half a year, one after another under the Hao Yan Xu. Early June, South Korea Kumho Asiana Group decided to add a radial tire production line, the original annual production capacity of 7,000,000 tires to enhance the capacity of 12000000-13000000. At present, the second capital increase from the original construction was completed by the end of 2009 ahead of schedule by the end of June this year.

In late June, Goodyear announced it would invest 500,000,000 U.S. dollars expansion of its production base in Dalian. According to the plan, a new Goodyear tire commercial vehicle production line will be introduced into China at the same time the expansion of its passenger car tire production line.

July 10, Pirelli said: "Pirelli in the next two years China will invest an additional 100,000,000 U.S. dollars by 2011 China will tire (including car and truck tires) to increase production capacity to 11,000,000. We will car tire To double production capacity at the same time raise truck tire production capacity. If we can achieve annual output in China 11,000,000, China will become the Pirelli tire of the world's second-largest market. "

Haitong Securities analyst Liu believes that the world tire industry to gradually shift China and other developing countries, developing countries in the tire manufacturing will be more prominent advantage. From 2007 the world's top 75 tire, Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear Tire giant three of the world is still in the first group; mainland China's 16 tires further into the ranking, such as Hangzhou Zhongce in 2006 sales An increase of nearly 50% for the first time more than 1,000,000,000 U.S. dollars, 10.8 billion U.S. dollars, ranking rose to 23 from the 14th, more than 10 other companies have also ranked on the rise. In this way, China's 16 tires total revenue in 2006 over the fourth of Germany's mainland.

But in the face of the huge market, China's local tire business is still in a weak position. China Rubber Industry Association this year, in particular to the recommendation of the six brands, including Motorola, Triangle, Linglong, and Good Luck, BCT, such as the Great Sea, production and market coverage across the country, only 25% market share and the remaining are being Foreign brands to carve up.
Chinese-made tires will be subject to the Finnish consumers

Aug. 6 report, Finland tire association said that rising oil prices led to the Finnish tire prices rise, low-cost tire may be more popular. The association expects the second half of this year, tire prices will continue to be on the rise, mainly due to higher raw material costs, and the tire manufacturing industry in recent years, the dependence on oil is also growing, as the Finnish local tire producer prices still higher , It is estimated that since China and South Korea's imports of cheap tires will be favored by consumers.
Such as tire pressure temperature curing process will help energy-saving

Energy, improve the yield and quality of the tires is the tire manufacturing industry pursued. Guilin Rubber Machinery Factory combined with a variety of process characteristics of the tire at home and abroad, especially in the tire well-known companies with foreign experts, in-depth study, developed a pressure tire curing temperature of the new technology. The process by Shanghai, Shandong, and other users, and through acceptance, to demonstrate that their energy, improve the yield and quality of the tires of the advantages.

At present, most of the tire manufacturing process using the traditional, such as tire pressure isothermal vulcanization process, that is, in the vulcanized tire-entry capsule within a certain temperature and pressure of the media (such as steam), and continued a certain period of time, to the tire curing pass into the inside of the capsule Over hot water. As a whole is in the process of curing, over hot water to maintain a certain pressure and temperature cycle uninterrupted flow of the process of vulcanization is always pressure, such as temperature, and so on. This process needs to spend a lot of energy, the production of tires is the largest energy consumption. In fact the cycle of hot water over the heat absorbed by the tire is only a small part of a large number of hot water cycle to be ineffective. At the same time, traditional curing process is a result of a long curing time, curing too easy. Vulcanized rubber will have the physical properties of a significant reduction in the affected tire quality.

The new tire curing process advantages are: First, a significant reduction in the tire curing process over the hot water cycle time, saving a lot of heat over hot water needed for energy, and saving the water cycle over the course of transmission of energy, so that the tire curing The process greatly reduce energy consumption, new technology than the traditional process of each child to save energy costs 3.38 yuan, according to the tire factory with an annual output of 1,000,000 sets of terms, in theory, could save the cost of 3,380,000 yuan; Second, the shorter the tire curing time and increase The production and productivity, and increased capacity utilization. Each child in order to save about 4.5 minutes, tire plant with an annual production capacity of 100 million units calculated in time to save 4,500,000 minutes, the annual output 87,400 sets of tires, an increase rate of 8.74 percent; Third, the outside temperature to reduce the time 3.5 Minutes, so that the tread off the phenomenon of sulfur have been greatly improved. At the same time, due to the short-term high-temperature curing, corresponding to shorten the total time, so that the various components of tire rubber time temperature curve flat, rubber vulcanization basically the same as the level, so that the mechanical structure of the tire more reasonable and thus increase tire mileage .
Third-generation SEBS synthetic rubber into a hot market

First half of this year Baling Petrochemical Synthetic Rubber Division of SEBS (hydrogenated SBS) products sold 4800 tons more than last year's total sales. At the same time, this annual capacity of 10,000 tons of production equipment at more than 900 tons. The device production and marketing of the "double standard" eye-catching.

SEBS fast growth of consumption

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) combines the characteristics of plastics and rubber, known as "third-generation synthetic rubber." TPE in China, SBC (styrene block copolymer) played an important role in production is the world's largest and fastest-growing of a thermoplastic elastomer. Block by SBC component can be divided into styrene - butadiene - styrene block copolymer (SBS), styrene - isoprene - styrene block copolymer (SIS) and their corresponding product of the hydrogenation -- - Hydrogenated SBS (SEBS) and hydrogenated SIS (SEPS) 4 types.

SBC in the middle, SEBS, although the proportion of consumption accounted for a smaller, but the SEBS characteristics make it the last few years in the research, development of the hot spots, its consumption growth speed. According to the industry, in the United States, SEBS annual consumption of about 70,000 to 80,000 tons, and will be expected to grow at a rate of 3%; in Western Europe, SEBS in the annual demand of 30,000 tons, and its growth rate will reach 5% to 7%; in Japan, SEBS products in the annual demand of about 20,000 to 30,000 tons. Together with the rest of the world demand, it is estimated that the global annual demand of SEBS in 150,000 tons.

It is understood that with the growth in demand, the world's major types of SEBS hydrogenated product manufacturers have some capacity expansion plans. Japan's Kuraray in 2007 in the United States, its annual production capacity of 12,000 tons from 18,000 tons to expand, Nassau wear company in Spain and Mexico, the factory also has the capacity expansion plan. Analysis of the industry is estimated that American production capacity of about 90,000 to 100,000 tons, the European capacity 40,000 ~ 50,000 tons, Asia capacity 40,000 ~ 50,000 tons, the total capacity of 170,000 to 200,000 tons / year. The producers in capacity expansion, it also attaches great importance to product innovation, the current major research is the development of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) substitutes, soft rubber vulcanization, as well as alternatives to new adhesive materials.

At present, is the main domestic Baling Petrochemical Division of synthetic rubber with an annual output of 10,000 tons a SEBS the production line. There is information that Taiwan rubber in the Nantong 20,000 tons / year SEBS devices will be put into operation in the middle of this year, it was reported that pig is now available for trial users. Mainland China is the application of SEBS one of the fastest-growing region, its import growth can be seen. Official statistics in 2005, hydrogenated products imported about 6,000 tons, imports in 2006 increased to 10,000 tons.

SEBS domestic application of the current focus on access to soft-coated materials, low hardness elastomers, SBS and other materials with a solvent such as processing. With the market's requirements to improve product quality, flexibility of the existing body of SEBS amount must be increased, this will only increase in more than 10,000 tons of market capacity. With a variety of new uses for the development of alternatives such as soft PVC, and so on, all kinds of modification of the common plastic, wire and cable seals and the use of the promotion, coupled with the lubricating oil viscosity index improver applications, experts estimate that the domestic market SEBS Capacity within five years to increase further. In this regard, the development of domestic enterprises face both opportunities and face the product quality and stability of the challenges.

To the quality and production and sales targets simultaneously

A new product from R & D to achieve industrial production, and then to the market, which has been recognized market may need a fairly long process. However, synthetic rubber Baling Petrochemical Division of Baling SEBS card products in just less than two years to complete the process.

The cause of the Department of thermoplastic elastomer SEBS sets of technology development projects be included in the national "863" plan, with an annual output of 20,000 tons Mao-line set of SEBS hydride technology development projects, Sinopec is China's "Ten Long," one of the key scientific and technological projects. In March 2006, the Division completed and put into production with their own intellectual property rights of the domestic first set of million-ton annual capacity of SEBS industrial production equipment, production and installation of multiple brands of products SEBS filled the gap, to replace imports and to participate in international competition China-made products so that SBC's market share and further enhance the influence.

SEBS-ton industrial installations put into operation, running some of the need to break through bottlenecks, such as the reminder of this, such as the quality of the odor problem SEBS product development market, subject to the smooth operation of equipment and technology of long-term run-in, and so on.

Baling Petrochemical synthetic rubber business organizations from nearly 100 professional and technical personnel to participate in the research team, the state of technology, product quality, user segments, such as tracking, through the careful organization of small test pilot, on the one hand, optimize the device for the production, Improve the quality of 10 can be implemented in a number of specific comments and suggestions, on the other hand, the development of new products SEBS.

The Department of technicians by the 300 tests, found the impact on the quality of SEBS the root causes and to propose measures to deal with. At the same time, for high-consumption devices, where the high cost of products, from business process tuning devices and equipment, lack of consumer start to focus on a series of improvement and optimization of the lack of extinction, the only way to optimize a catalyst to join, effective SEBS reduced production costs. Post-processing equipment for the home-made device also modified to further improve the capacity to lay a solid technological foundation. Technological innovation so that the devices become more normal operation, but also the quality of SEBS and production to increase steadily. In May this year, SEBS output reached 910.67 tons, to achieve targets for the month.

As by the end of June, the Ministry of SEBS product sales this year, a total of 4820.675 tons, of which sales line, and other brand 501,502,503,561,563 Total 4341.27 tons, sales of a total of 602 star-grade 355.085 tons, in the domestic market share of 60% .
Renovation of the tire: to have the security environment

Tire has a bearing on the quality of the traffic safety

Renovation of the use of tires is the international trend

With the concept of environmental protection and reduction of people, especially in recent years to high oil prices will have to be scrapped tire recycling renovation, the world has become a popular trend, automobile tires has always been refurbished several times in order to give full play to their Value.

Experts pointed out that the tires needed for the renovation of a synthetic rubber, oil consumption is only 1/3-1/4 of the new tires, and refurbished with new tires as durable tires and at the same time to save the economy. To Michelin truck tire, for example, overseas developed countries generally use to renovate 3-4, 7-8 up at the high-mileage up to 1,130,000 km.

A new birth in 70% of the value of the tire carcass, and the easier it is the wear and tear of the tire tread pattern, the renovation of old tires a savings equal to 70% of new rubber resources. According to the information from Finland, Finland introduced in 1996 on the recycling of discarded tires a special bill to require the production and sale of the tire manufacturers will be obliged to replace down for recycling of discarded tires, to be designated by the plant and use of renewable sources. Only in 1998 was down to replace the discarded tires 2,000,000, 350,000 renovation was made of tires. That the quality of the tires with new tires, not any different, and the price is only half of the new births. The rest of the more than 100 million used tires were treated as a fuel for power generation, road building materials, or materials. According to statistics, due to the recycling of discarded tires, Finland produced a series of new industries, the creation of wealth each year nearly 12 billion U.S. dollars, to provide the community with 5,000 jobs.

China in the renovation of the use of tires has been behind

Compared to overseas, China in this regard on many behind. Data show that the developed countries in the renovation of old tires birth rate has exceeded 80%, while China is not 10%; "turn over a new" in the United States is 9:1, 26:1 is our country. Experts have pointed out that developed countries and the renovation of the tire industry compared to China at least 10-20 years behind. In 2004 China's production of discarded tires 112,000,000, for example, if the level of developed countries, at least 1,800 10,000 used tires can be refurbished, but our actual renovation of the only 8,000,000. Fetal source of a serious shortage of about 10,000,000 scrap tires as the tires. Tires from the renovation of the species, only the current refurbishment of bus and truck tires with tires, car tires or renovation of the blank, and the car tires in Europe to replace the renovation market was 28.8 percent.

It is understood that China encourages the use of discarded tires technical renovation in order to raise the utilization rate of repeat of the waste, energy consumption. The renovation of tires for trucks only, in a rigorous production and quality control, quality and more reliable. Can be used to renovate the country each year out of discarded tires are 120,000,000, which means that each year there may be more than 100,000,000 tire renovation to re-enter the market.

However, the Guangdong quality supervision departments and other places shows that the quality of the renovation of tires need to be sorted out: such as the manufacture of the jerry-building - due to fierce competition in the market, some manufacturers to take on lower rates and the use of plastic with the poor quality of raw materials to reduce production costs and In order to lower prices to win market. Many manufacturers are weak indigenous technological capacity, backward production technology, the lack of testing equipment, and even the industry norms do not understand the signs, the renovation of the tires produced can be used even if there are many security risks. In accordance with relevant state regulations, due to reasons such as the bursting of the tire cord injury can only be used in the manufacture of reclaimed rubber, rubber powder, can not be used for renovation. However, some enterprises in order to make a profit, this should be completely scrapped tires to carry out renovation, the traffic safety to the serious security risks.

Consumer awareness forget

Experts pointed out that the tires have been refurbished for the national mandatory standards, sub-standard tires can not be refurbished to enter the market. Therefore, as long as the formal professional store to buy tires renovation, not only can be assured of quality, but also be able to enjoy the savings and environmental benefits of the multiple.

However, the market is still relatively confused, decided to renovate the purchase of tires must pay attention to the following aspects: First of all, not just to save money, not to shop at roadside qualified replacement tire renovation. Second, in China there are very few car tires of the renovation, particularly across the renovation of the so-called cheap car tires have to be careful to buy.

In addition, some businesses will be refurbished in order to tire wear will not be long "almost new birth" in the name sold to consumers, here it should be noted that the regular brand manufacturers to produce tires, automobile tires on all types of tires, performance, and so on, Sidewall and tread and no difference between the inner bearing durability, anti-tank tread wear mark clearly visible. Renovation of the general matrix of fetal rough comparison, the side of the tire marks are combined, the renovation of the tire marks were put up for re-use nail Zhuanao these signs will be able to pull out of the renovation is a tire.
Industry cover the transfer of heat tire business

China's tire industry started relatively late, but the fast development. Beginning in 2004, China's tire production and exports have become the first in the world. At the same time, China's tire production technology improved, scientific and technological achievements are emerging, many of the production process has reached world advanced level. At present, China has been able to produce radial and bias of the structure of the two car tires, truck tires, industrial tires, agricultural tires, and OTR tire series of five over 2000 specifications, has formed a relatively complete system of the tire industry. We have good quality tire production category of listed companies, such as Aeolus shares, Qian Luntai A, Qingdao Double Star and two-share money, and so on.

Tire industry shift to the Asia-Pacific

At present, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and North America is the world's tire industry's main production areas and consumption areas, a situation of the three pillars. However, the tire industry belongs to labor-intensive and technology-intensive traditional industries in Europe and the United States and Japan and other developed countries, the wage share of the cost of production very high, such as the United States for 33%, Germany 45%. High wage costs brought about by the impact of the competitiveness of their products, compared to, the Asia-Pacific region has a low-cost high quality labor resources.

In recent years, from the development, production in Europe and North America tire sales increase is very small, the tire industry to shift significantly in the Asia-Pacific region. In North America, for example, in 1999 in the region for tire sales 351,000,000, accounting for all the world 976,000,000 of 35.96%; in 2005 for sales in the region 365,000,000, representing 1,082,000,000 of the world's 33.73 percent over the same period Asia Pacific sales were up a greater proportion of.

With the world tire industry in developing countries such as China and gradually transfer to developing countries in the tire manufacturing will be more prominent advantage. From 2007 the world's top 75 tire, Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear Tire giant three of the world is still in the first group; mainland China's 16 tires further into the ranking, such as Hangzhou Zhongce in 2006 sales An increase of nearly 50% for the first time more than 1,000,000,000 U.S. dollars, 10.8 billion U.S. dollars, ranking rose from No. 23 No. 14; more than 10 other companies have also ranked on the rise. In this way, China's 16 tires total revenue in 2006 over the No. 4 ranking of Germany's mainland.

China has become the focus of development

In the 1990s, China has become the Asia-Pacific region the focus of the tire industry. Private capital and foreign capital into Chinese tire industry, the world's top 10 tire companies have been in China to invest and build factories. To Bridgestone, for example, by 2005, the Chinese in Shenyang, Tianjin, Wuxi has 3 tire plant, Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone signed a cooperation agreement car tire projects with a total investment of 140,000,000 U.S. dollars. In 2005, Bridgestone in China's passenger car market share of 10%, the company plans by 2010 this proportion will increase to 30%.

At the same time, China's tire production technology improved. This is mainly the performance of tires in the scientific and technological achievements are emerging, many of the production process has reached world advanced level. The tire industry continue to enhance the capacity of independent development, product design has reached world advanced level; pattern of low noise design has reached the international advanced level; use of nanotechnology low heat formula has been the development and application of the mainland close to the German tire company level; rubber mixing process Close to the level of France's Michelin; nitrogen tire curing has reached the world advanced level. In addition, our rate of meridian tires are steadily improve.

But we should also see that the world tire industry, to a large extent by the international large-scale control of the company's tire, the tire giant in the world market share high. In 2005, the world's tire sales 101,000,000,000 U.S. dollars, the company's top 10 tire sales reached 77,742,000,000 U.S. dollars, the proportion reached 76.97 percent. Tires in the future of large-scale enterprises and groups of the growing trend, the tire industry, will further enhance the degree of monopoly. China and the tire business is not strong, especially relative to international giants, the domestic tire of smaller enterprises; at the same time, the state-owned enterprises tire market position needs to be improved.

Key recommendation of the company

Aeolus shares: the world tire industry, the company is in the middle and upper reaches. In the domestic tire companies, the company's competitive advantage in the engineering aspects of child birth and the load. The company's future development will be in the main tire on an extension to the formation of tire rubber-based trade system. Specifically, the company will focus on the establishment of the three major systems: First, the implementation of brand strategy, stringent control over the quality system; Second, the establishment of a market system and sales network, after-sales service system construction; Third, the construction and automobile, chemical industry supporting System characteristics.
