< p > before the No. five production line of Sinopec Yizheng chemical fiber Dongli film company has taken the lead in parking, the total number of two production lines has been stopped, and two to four production lines are still operating normally.

Moreover, two of the three production lines that started up were losses, and only one was profit.

Why do companies insist on losing money and continue production? I think the most fundamental factor is to satisfy the number of contract pactions of old customers every month.

Enterprises in the off-season production reduction initiatives also indicate that the downstream application areas are not yet wide enough to be actively explored.

< p > review the market, 4~6 month, a href= "//www.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" in the international market, polyester film factory < /a > is rather difficult, because the continuous fluctuation of market prices and the influence of operating rate directly affect the processing profit and market share of some enterprises.

In the first half of April, there was a slight increase in the spot price of some thin film chips in the Asian region. For instance, the actual paction price of the goods sold in Northeast Asia showed a slight upward trend, while the actual paction price of the goods in Southeast Asia was basically the same as that in the second half of 3 months.

In mid April, spot prices for film grade chips remained stable, and suppliers were regularly supplied to regular customers.

In late April, there was a marked decline in the price of film grade quotations, and the actual price of film grade chips also fell with the quoted price.

< p > although some of the downstream customers have lower delivery prices at 1200 US dollars / ton (FOB, Northeast Asia), but manufacturers and traders are not particularly big in inventory pressure, so we ignore the obvious customer requirements of bargaining.

Moreover, the production profits of the manufacturers themselves have been very poor, and the small processing profit will not induce the manufacturers to make a big profit.

Spot prices for thin film slicing fell by 10 US dollars / ton in early May.

By the middle of May and the end of May, thin film sectioning pactions continued to be unsatisfactory, resulting in a relatively stable sales price.

In June, due to the rising price of PTA and MEG, the intention price and the offer of film grade chips increased in the international market.

< p > for downstream industries, because polyester film has a high value < a href= "//www.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > profit space < /a >, in the past few years, domestic capacity has expanded rapidly, and the annual growth rate < a href= > //www.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp > /a > almost reached the alarming level of 100%.

Because in the past few years, downstream customers in the country are short of special chips needed for film production, downstream polyester film producers have been using polyester super thin chips in fiber grade super glossy chips to produce polyester film, the so-called masterbatch production method.

The masterbatch method not only affects the stability of film production, but also affects the final performance of film products. For this reason, film manufacturers are eager to have special slicing to meet production needs.

The Sinopec Yizheng chemical fiber company also takes into account the above factors, and promptly organize the technical personnel of the company to choose polyester chip for the research direction. Finally, the membrane polyester chip developed by Yizheng chemical fiber company has achieved industrial production. The polyester chip of Yizheng chemical fiber company has formed a series of products, and it is also the raw material of 90% of the domestic thin film enterprises, which accounts for 85%~90% of the domestic market.

< p > membrane polyester chips and downstream polyester film products have wide market in China, and application areas need to be excavated.

If the development is successful, or will appear "off-season not light" market.

At present, the main application fields of polyester film include photographic photographic film, magnetic medium, packaging, electric lifting, anti mucous membrane, label film, microfilm, office supplies (Book protection film, directory label, cover) and so on.

2012~2013, China's polyester film design and production capacity reached 1 million 300 thousand tons / year ~140 million tons / year, consumption reached 800 thousand tons / year ~90 million tons / year.

Because of the huge development space of polyester film in China, the market prospect of PET chips in the future will be very promising.

In particular, membrane grade PET chips belong to environmental protection and energy saving products. For example, in food packaging, pet non-toxic and barrier properties can meet the hygienic requirements of food packaging in many countries. In non food packaging, polyester packaging has high pparency and high intensity, so as long as it is slightly decorated, it can achieve beautiful and generous requirements.
