Coatings production fell 5% month-on-month-UV absorber manufacturer

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the national coating output in April was 1.7 million tons, down about 5% from the previous month, with output in Sichuan, Liaoning, Beijing, Shanghai and other places falling from the previous month. It fell more than 10% last month. In April, the pressure on environmental protection inspections across the country continued to increase. In addition, the continuous transformation and upgrading of “oil-to-water” in recent years has led to increasing pressure on the survival of small and medium-sized coating companies. Not only that, as one of the most traditional solvents for paints and coatings, national standard solvent oil 200# In recent years, the pressure to survive has also increased. From 2016 to 2017, the two major groups, Qingjiang Petrochemical and Yangzhou Petrochemical, have successively stopped or switched production of national standard 200# solvent oil products. Currently, among the two major groups, only Taizhou Petrochemical and Ba Lingshi Chemical continues to process national standard 200# solvent oil, and the national standard 200# solvent oil market is shrinking year by year. The main factors causing this situation are as follows.

First of all, due to the production transformation from oil to water due to environmental protection, some coating companies have abandoned the use of traditional oil-based solvents, resulting in a plummeting demand for national standard 200# solvent oil. trend; secondly, according to the adjustment of the consumption tax policy by the National Bureau of Taxation, national standard 200 solvent oil needs to pay a consumption tax of 1.52 yuan/liter, which has virtually increased the cost pressure of 2,000 yuan/ton, especially for the main refineries of the two major groups. , compared with private refineries, the national standard 200# has no price advantage at all, and it is prohibitive for high-priced resources downstream; finally, in recent years, the alternative product – light white oil (D series solvent oil) resources have continued to develop , and because of its environmentally friendly properties with extremely low aromatic content, it is increasingly favored by only paint and coatings factories. Especially at present, the price difference between the two is gradually shrinking, because it does not need to pay consumption tax. Some refineries have light white oil W1-40 ( D40) price is even significantly lower than the national standard 200# solvent oil of the two major groups, and the light white oil (D series solvent oil) has been hydrogenated twice, and has far exceeded the traditional national standard in terms of taste, color, aromatic content, etc. 200# solvent oil has high cost performance and has gradually occupied the only market share of the national standard 200# solvent oil to a certain extent.

Judging from the decades of development of solvent oils, there have been splendid times. However, in the end, product upgrades and transformations were helpless due to environmental pressure. With the national standard 200# As the solvent oil market gradually shrinks, more environmentally friendly alternatives to light white oil (D series solvent oil) and even higher-end isoparaffin products may gradually develop.
