[comment] Gade chemical Chemical Network this week six domestic sulfur hexafluoride market narrow finishing, six sulfur fluoride manufacturers operating normally, suppliers, downstream demand in general, without much improvement, the actual transaction price flexibility. At the beginning of the week mainstream manufacturers offer ex factory price 45860 yuan / ton, the average price of the mainstream manufacturers factory price at the weekend 45460 yuan / ton, down 0.87% over the same period, down 9.27%.

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

The upstream product sulfur market down slightly, weekly decline 0.48%, the contradiction between supply and demand is still difficult to reconcile, trading atmosphere deserted, a strong wait-and-see mood, holding the goods carefully, downstream procurement is not positive, short-term market weakness consolidation, six SF cost less support.

Polyvinyl alcohol, organic compound, white flocculent or flake, powder, tasteless. Soluble in water, insoluble in gasoline, kerosene, vegetable oil, benzene, toluene, two chloride, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethylene glycol, etc.. Slightly soluble in two methyl. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an important chemical raw materials for manufacturing polyvinyl acetal, resistant to gasoline pipe and vinylon synthetic fiber and fabric treatment agent, emulsifier, paper coating, adhesive and so on.
Products of polyvinyl alcohol because of the degree of polymerization and alcoholysis degree of different various brands, the main application fields of different grades is also different. But overall, at present the development trend of PVA industry in the world is: on the one hand to high degree of polymerization (high viscosity), the degree of alcoholysis, high precision of product development, the high-grade adhesive, high strength and high fiber membrane and cement reinforced agents in the field has a good performance in; on the other hand to low polymerization degree, low alcohol solution of special products, mainly used to have special requirements to the water soluble adhesive and water soluble fiber and other fields.
According to Booz data released by the 2016-2022 China polyvinyl alcohol market trend forecasting and investment planning is proposed to study the analysis report: 1.224 million tons in 2012 the global polyvinyl alcohol production, a growth of 2.34% in 2011, the demand for 118.4 million tons, an increase of 4.2%. 2013 global polyvinyl alcohol production was, an increase of 3.59% compared to 2012, the demand for the volume of more than a year, an increase of 4.05%. 2014 global polyvinyl alcohol production and sales were.
Global polyvinyl alcohol market is basically in the balance of supply and demand situation, the current global production of polyvinyl alcohol production equipment can fully meet the current market demand.
In terms of demand, the industry is expected in the next few years the global demand for polyvinyl alcohol market will maintain a steady growth trend, in 2020 the global demand for polyvinyl alcohol will reach 1 million 650 thousand tons
