Rubber companies to deal with high-Jiaojia: Synthetic application to expand the proportion of

This year, there has been running high in natural rubber prices to soar again. Yan Pianjiao 3 tons of import prices crossed 27,000 yuan, 20 standard plastic was also close to 30,000 yuan, on the rubber industry's normal production and caused great shock, together with other raw material prices one after another, many companies have been unbearable . In such a grim situation, how to maintain the enterprise? How to ensure stability in the rubber industry and sustainable development? This is China's rubber industry must face.

Natural rubber, low-cost era gone

At present, the international natural rubber market is characterized by the trend of resources monopolized by Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia to set up the League to master the three countries of the world's rubber natural rubber market, prices of natural rubber around the world, from long-term buyer-led market history has come to an end. With Vietnam, India to join the new formation of the five countries of the Group will control 90% of the world's resources, natural rubber, natural rubber, "OPEC," the world's natural rubber market in the future will have greater and greater.

According to the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG) predicted that the world's natural rubber production in 2006 will grow by 0.9 percent, while consumption increased by 3.6 percent. World natural rubber production in 2009 from 2004's 8,620,000 tons to 9,687,000 tons, the annual growth rate of 2.4 percent, while the consumption growth rate of 3.7 percent. As a result, the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, natural rubber demand growth will be higher than supply growth, natural rubber prices, already high an inevitable trend.

Synthetic conditions for the development of increasingly sophisticated

At present, China Synthetic production can not meet domestic consumption needs of the market, more than 40% rely on imports. At the same time, domestic Synthetic products of a single brand, a number of high value-added special grades are vacant or low yield, a serious shortage of supply capacity. If the domestic butyl rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, and so on the domestic market share of less than one-third of halogenated butyl rubber and isoamyl has not yet been achieved, such as industrial production for high-grade and high-grade rubber tires of the solution SBR-rely mainly on imports.

In addition, an adequate supply of major raw materials for the development of Synthetic provided a powerful guarantee for rubber processing in the appropriate use of Synthetic expand the scope and ratio of natural rubber to reduce the amount of natural rubber and dependence may be provided.

There is still room to expand the proportion of applications

With China's rubber industry to the rapid development of the Synthetic consumption is growing dramatically. However, the current situation, with the developed countries, China Synthetic use ratio is still relatively low. If the consumption of plastic largest tire manufacturing, the United States Synthetic use ratio of 54.4 percent, 50.7 percent for France, and 41.5 percent for China. As a result, Synthetic rubber in the application there are more room for development. In particular, car tires, the use of Synthetic Western countries the ratio is much higher than China. Other factors, such as conveyor belt, V belt, hose, rubber shoes, and other rubber products, to the use of Synthetic and natural rubber instead of plastic where more and more alternatives also very worthy of domestic enterprises in this regard to increase research efforts.

At present, the impact of the use of Synthetic China to further improve the ratio of reasons: First, the lack of independent innovation, choice of a new enterprise from the start to lower the cost of raw materials, research is still relatively lacking; Second, the weakness of technology companies, the inability to innovate, have to follow the old formula, Old technology. However, the rapid development of science and technology, the globalization trend more evident today, through the introduction of human resources, technology or through cooperation with the unit, the exchange to solve these problems, improving product formulas and techniques to increase the proportion of Synthetic application.
