Middle East polymerization MDI price reached the highest level of history

polymerized diphenyl Methane diisocyanate (aggregated MDI) the import spot price in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region has been hit by a record high in the four consecutive weeks of rising market shortages.

EDTA 2Na

 

In the week before September 21, CFR gcc prices reached $3250/ton, up 18% from August 24.

 

Local prices have risen by 26% per cent in mid-July, the highest level since August 2011, and prices are expected to continue to rise in the next few weeks.

 

The spot market in the Middle East is in short supply, and it is now the region’s traditional peak season. It is reported that some local buyers are worried about the price will continue to rise and scramble for supply.

 

A major producer has reserved a small number of products for customers in the Middle East and sold it at $3300/ton CFR gcc quotes.

 

More than a week ago, the CFR gcc price remained at a lower $3000-3150/ton.

 

Another aggregate MDI trader who sells in the Middle East believes there will be no traders offering CFR gcc quotes below $3200/ton this week.

 

Orders priced to be shipped in November have been heard as high as $3600 CFR GCC.

 

A market participant in the Middle East said it was willing to pay an CFR gcc price of $3500/ton for any polymerization MDI that could be shipped immediately, but still could not buy it.

Another local market news that “in the GCC region, because there is no supply to buy goods, now any price can appear,”

 

Shortages are exacerbated by the fact that some of the key MDI producers in North-east Asia, such as Kam Lake Mitsui and East Cao, have reduced capacity.

 

China Wanhua Chemical is the world’s largest producer of aggregate MDI, with a total capacity of 3 units of 1.8 million tonnes.

 

Middle East aggregate MDI prices have grown in sync with the region’s rising tide since the end of August. Suppliers have raised prices as a result of continued supply shortages, with spot prices in South-East Asia and India following a sharp rise in the Chinese market.

 

The price of imported aggregate MDI from China continued to rise in the week before September 20 due to high domestic prices. During the week, China’s domestic demand has declined slightly after surging high tide.

 

Some Middle Eastern sellers say the aggregate MDI price in the GCC region should be higher than the current price. It is also known that the GCC market will overtake Asia’s high prices after new news emerges.

 

“It would be more appropriate to settle down [Asian prices] now,” said another market source in the Middle East market.

Switzerland develops new high efficiency and cheap electrolytic water nanometer catalyst

The use of solar energy and wind power to produce hydrogen through electrolysis water is an important technical means of storing renewable energy. There are two types of catalysts used to accelerate the reaction of electrolysis water, one of which is highly catalytic but requires the use of precious metal iridium materials, which is expensive, while the other is lower but catalytic efficiency is not high.
Bacillus thuringiensis
The Swiss Paul Rosier Institute (PSI) has recently successfully developed a highly efficient nano-catalyst that can be used to obtain hydrogen from electrolytic water, without the use of precious metals and therefore inexpensive. The new catalyst is a perovskite compound composed of barium, strontium, cobalt and iron. The research team first developed a new process, in the “flame injection” equipment to control the appropriate conditions, so that barium, strontium, cobalt, iron atoms in the flame to form a small nano-particles with the required structure, so that the catalyst with the largest surface area, to form more to accelerate the water molecule cracking “activation center.” By adjusting the proportion of oxygen elements in the material, a series of catalyst materials can be formed. This new kind of catalyst successfully completed the trial operation in the test device of the energy system integration platform of the state-level new energy research infrastructure in Switzerland, its performance can be comparable with that of the traditional iridium oxide material, but the cost is low and the production process is easy to realize large scale production.

 

The Institute is working with the U.S. electrolysis water equipment manufacturing enterprise to further validate and test its performance and reliability in the actual application of industrial equipment.

January-July South Korea exports growth is the first worldwide but many unstable factors exist

South Korea reported on September 25, Asian economies, according to a recent wto “monthly commodity export statistics released this year July 1 – South Korea’s exports reached $328 billion, up 16.3% from a year earlier, the growth of the world. The Netherlands ranked second with 11.0%, with Hong Kong, mainland China and Japan ranked 3-5, with growth of 8.5 per cent, 8.3 per cent and 8.2 per cent respectively. South Korea’s export growth remained in double digits in August, at 17.4 percent, to $47.1 billion, according to South Korea’s ministry of industry and industry, which has been growing for 10 consecutive months.

Manganese Sulfate

 

According to the ministry of industry, the main reason for the increase in exports is the global manufacturing boom recovery, the increase in the unit price of major export commodities, the increase in export volume and the high added value of the main products. Among them, the price of major export commodities such as semiconductors, petrochemical products and petroleum products has played a key role.

 

But the industry is concerned that the existence of a number of destabilizing factors could reverse the trend of export growth in the fourth quarter. One is that the export “bottom rebound” effect will run out. South Korea’s exports fell for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016, and this year’s export growth is partly due to a rebound effect, and exports will generally decline at the end of the year. Second, the unit price increase factor is greater than the export volume increase factor. Oil prices have risen sharply this year amid rising global oil prices. Three is too dependent on a few products such as semiconductors. The ministry of industry believes that both the fed’s shrinking watch and the strengthening of protectionist trade protectionism will have a negative impact on Korean exports.
