Cost EADS were mixed ceramic raw material supply

The ceramic industry in 2008 is bound to an unusual year, many environmental pressure to stop production, transformation; rising raw material prices have been even more miserable for business. Newspaper on the A1 version of an article published in Review of "up up up ceramics business be profitable," a detailed analysis of raw materials prices, corporate profits decline in the Dow. Tao enterprise costs, from raw material purchase prices, while raw materials prices, but also from raw material processing enterprises in upstream prices more. Upstream chemical manufacturers for the production status, press again on the subject of raw material prices of some ceramic chemical enterprises in Foshan, interviews were conducted.

Pigment plant price of raw materials a day

According to one person in charge of pigment plants, as raw material prices continue driven forces, and now they offer business-ceramics factory generally maintained at 10 days, because the price of raw materials, almost day one, but the gains are multiplied. In the past two or three years, the basic raw material prices stable, or not much. Example, the price of chrome green after the Spring Festival from 08 2 to 10% of the price increase, the current is still rising, is expected to exceed 50,000 / ton.

It is reported that in February this year, manufacturers of chrome green meeting collective price increase, a rise of 10%; 4 May, chrome green again, rose more than 10% of the price around 38,000 yuan; in May, because the relationship between the Olympic Games, the State some large enterprises to control pollution, leading to further price increases the price of chromium green, no matter how the original estimate up not more than 40,000 yuan, 40,000 yuan, but now all of a sudden skip, is expected to break 50,000 yuan.

Frit plant has little effect

According to a frit plant manager, said frit is the main raw material of mineral raw materials and chemical raw materials, and mineral raw materials prices rose less, at 50 yuan per ton, while the chemical raw materials mainly zinc oxide, but this oxidation Zinc prices fell compared to last year but this time last year was 24,000 yuan per ton this year, dropped to 16,000 yuan per ton. At the same time, the plant uses coal tar, prices 2600 ~ 3600 yuan per ton, a ton of frit production cost is 750 yuan, without energy costs, the cost this time last year, 500 to 550 dollars, so the production cost increase compared to last year not, or at 4-5%. But the frit industry competitive, so we only raise prices for some ceramics enterprises, some enterprises are still not raise prices, but sales dropped more than last year.

Corporate receivables purchases pressure difficult

Some chemical companies have said that the basic raw material procurement are now in cash, have to queue up, and sometimes hit 100 tons of one-time payment only 60 tons of goods, purchasing a lot of pressure.

But as a supplier of ceramic enterprises, form of payment not much difference with the past, money was a serious backlog, receivables difficult. So many suppliers to strengthen collaboration with the quality customers, a number of untimely payment, profits shrink small customers, the basic no longer supply, which also makes the past a number of ceramic enterprises with poor credit, when encountered in this credit crisis.

Chemical price increase has little effect on the ceramic enterprises

"We are ceramic factory price increase, in fact, their impact will not be great, mainly energy prices, the greatest influence on the ceramic enterprises." Company officials said that the pigment. In this regard, he gave reporters calculations, ceramics factories to produce a brick with only 1 to 2% of the pigment, only the cost of a brick 1 / 10. For example, a 800mm brick production, pigment costs account for only 1.3 yuan, 25 yuan if each brick films calculated, the cost price of only 5% of the cost of coal accounts for roughly 20-30%, the reporter interviewed the frit Factory executives have also agreed.

Energy is the most cost-growth enterprises

According to head of plant pigment, said energy prices this time last year, basically in the 600 to 700 yuan per ton, now stands at 1,300 yuan / ton, both the supplier or ceramic enterprises are the biggest costs of a point. He told reporters: "We are now one month to 100 tons of oil, 3,000 tons of production basis, the fundamental is 33 kg of oil burned a ton of pigment. 6,000 yuan per tonne of oil compared to coal prices, oil prices 1 times the coal, gas and coal prices are 2 times more than 2700 yuan 1 ton. "Now they profit only in the past 2 / 5.

Pigment manufacturers, according to official said: After the Olympic Games, chrome green prices will fall below 40,000. Since the state environmental protection during the Olympic Games grasp very strict, very stringent emission requirements of enterprises, in order to achieve the emission standards, enterprises can only reduce the yield, yield instability, which is an external operating environment.

Titanium dioxide from last year's 7,000 / ton up to the current 16,000 yuan / ton, is expected after the Olympic Games, prices will drop. Because the Tibetan separatist, anti-terrorism and other factors, the state restricted the sale of explosives, so titanium mining affected.

The manufacturer's technical lead frit, said: zinc oxide 02,03 years, more than 5000 yuan, 04,05 years, more than 6000 yuan, reached a peak last year, now stabilized, is expected in the second half, these raw material prices will become stable After the first Olympic Games, some will relax the ban, and these raw materials prices have peaked, and will not rise about the. In fact, many commodity prices soared and, in part, supplier hoarding supply, raise the price very high, deliberately creating market tensions.
