Novel coronavirus pneumonia affects the polyurethane industry? Recently, China Polyurethane Industry Association surveyed the industry situation. At present, the return rate of large-scale polyurethane raw material enterprises is relatively high, the return rate of small and medium-sized enterprises, equipment and product enterprises is relatively low, and the return rate of personnel is gradually rising; there are difficulties in the industry such as poor logistics and transportation and insufficient downstream demand, but the overall situation is improving.
According to Lu Guoping, Secretary General of China Polyurethane Industry Association, according to the statistics of Polyurethane Association, at present, large-scale polyurethane raw material manufacturers return to work with a high rate. During the epidemic period, some enterprises strictly took preventive and control measures, formulated return plans, and ensured the safety and orderly return to work of employees. In particular, for anti epidemic materials, we should focus on arrangement and comprehensive communication to ensure the smooth delivery of anti epidemic materials. Some enterprises insist on production under the condition of ensuring the safety of employees during the epidemic. However, there is pressure on the overall production and operation of the industry.
According to the reporter, the current logistics is still a common problem facing the whole industry. Due to the control of road transportation, many polyurethane enterprises can't deliver the finished products to customers in time, so the inventory pressure of finished products is very high. At the same time, the raw materials can't be delivered in time, which will affect the subsequent production. The head of polyester polyol production enterprise Linyi scorui polyurethane material Co., Ltd. said that at present, due to the logistics is not smooth, leading to raw materials can not come in, products can not go out. Zhejiang Hengfeng new materials Co., Ltd. also said that at present, the logistics in Zhejiang Province has basically recovered, but there are still difficulties in cross provincial transportation of goods, and the transportation cost remains high.
It is understood that at present, there are no big problems in the purchase and shipment of dangerous goods in Jiangsu, Shandong and other places, but there are obstacles in the remote order distribution of non dangerous chemicals. Generally, these goods are about 1-5 tons, which used to be transported by non special vehicles through distribution channels. However, at present, the remote distribution is short of vehicles, distribution resources, and the cost is rising.
LV said that at present, small and medium-sized polyurethane enterprises, especially downstream product enterprises, have relatively low operating rate due to factors such as limited logistics, isolation of personnel, and sluggish terminal consumer market, and many enterprises have not yet started. Then it affects the production and operation of the upstream raw material enterprises, resulting in lower operating rate and higher product inventory of the upstream enterprises. Huada new materials company said that due to the epidemic, more than 70% of customers have not yet started work, resulting in insufficient demand for product production and less orders from downstream customers.
According to the reporter, since March, the polyurethane industry has recovered and the logistics in the province has improved significantly. At present, more than 95% of the front-line employees in Yantai production base of Wanhua chemical have arrived at their posts. The unit load has also increased to a higher level, and the logistics and export have also improved. Hangjin Technology Co., Ltd. maintains full capacity production, and there is still product inventory pressure at present, but the downstream construction is improved, and the inventory pressure is reduced.
&"Next, the whole society still adheres to epidemic prevention and control. With the start of the consumer market and the improvement of logistics, it will promote the resumption of production of small and medium-sized enterprises as soon as possible, boost the demand of polyurethane downstream market, and then drive the industry as a whole to return to normal as soon as possible. &"Said Lu.
