Chinese Fluoropolymer Industry Attracts More and More Foreign Investment

The Chinese government has promulgated some policies and legislations, such as the Guided Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2011) and the 12th Five-year Development Plan of China Fluorine Chemical Industry (2011-2015), to encourage the development of fluoropolymer industry in China. CCM International’s April Issue of China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report also indicates that driven by the booming market, resource advantage and Chinese government's encourage, Chinese fluoropolymer industry attracts more and more foreign investment in resent years. Especially in Chinese PVDF industry, some multinationals have planned to invest in it and  it will maintain rapid growth in the 12^th  Five-year Plan Period.

Simultaneously, driven by the soaring price and tight supply of fluorite from 2010 to 2011, many fluoride companies are seeking for upstream integration. In March 2012, Dongyue Group claimed that the company is in the process of acquiring two mining areas' exploration licenses in Wulate Middle Banner, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia. In addition, Zhejiang Yongtai released that the company had completed the acquisition of 20% share of Yongfei Chemical, who is specialized in the manufacturing and sale of HF.

 

However, influenced by the depression of economy at home and abroad, the market situation of fluorine chemical downstream industries is dismal, which leads to the week demand for most fluorite chemicals from January to March 2012. In March 2012, the prices of most fluorite chemicals keep falling.

How will China's PVDF industry develop during the 12^th Five-year Plan Period? What is import situation of domestic PTFE fiber? How about the price trend of domestic PTFE? What was the import and export situation of fluoride chemicals in China in Feb. 2012? You might find all answers in April Issue of China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report.

The latest issue covers:

-Zhejiang Juhua planed to construct an HFC-125 production line with capacity of 10,000t/a with Honeywell International's production technique.

-The average price of aluminum fluoride in China remains low and it's unlikely to rise in a short time.

- Domestic price of HFC-134a will fall slightly in the second quarter of 2012.

- In 2011, DFD achieves USD16.58 million of operating profit, doubling that in 2010 and LiPF6 has been its new point of profit growth in the future.

- ANOKY plans to purchase Color Root Hubei, which is the only fluorine-containing reactive dyes producer in China.

China's PVDF industry to Maintain Rapid Growth in 12th Five-year Plan Period

China's PVDF industry developed rapidly from 2006 to 2011 and it will maintain rapid growth during the 12th Five-year Plan Period, driven by the booming market, resource advantage and Chinese government's encourage, according to CCM’s April Issue of China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report.

With a booming market, China's PVDF industry has grew rapidly from 2006 to 2011. In 2010, the total capacity of PVDF has reached 6,000t/a, sextuple of that in 2006. Simultaneously, the output of PVDF has soared from 300 tonnes in 2006 to 4,400 tonnes in 2010.

In 2011, because some new production lines of PVDF came into operation, the capacity of PVDF soared to 13,500t/a, and its output soared to 8,400 tonnes. In March 2011, Arkema (Changshu) Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Arkema Changshu) launched a new PVDF production line with capacity of 5,000t/a, accounting for 37% of the total in China. Moreover, the PVDF capacity of Shanghai 3F New Material Co., Ltd. (Shanghai 3F) has also reached 5,000t/a in 2011.

Nevertheless, driven by the booming market, resource advantage and government's encourage, it's foreseeable that China's PVDF industry will maintain rapid growth during the 12th Five-year Plan Period.

In order to meet the growing market demand for PVDF, some PVDF producers in China has planned to extend the production. On Jan. 6th, 2011, Arkema announced that intending to meet the fast-growing demand for PVDF resins, the company had decided to speed up the development of Arkema Changshu and to increase the plant capacity by 50% by the middle of 2012. It means that Arkema Changshu's PVDF capacity will reach about 7,000t/a in the middle of 2012.

On April 10th, 2012, Miss He, the securities services representative of Shanghai 3F claimed that in order to meet the gradually increasing demand for PVDF, the company will gradually extend the PVDF production capacity to 10,000t/a.

Apart from the booming market, resource advantage and Chinese government's encourage has attracted multinationals to invest in China's PVDF industry.

Kureha Corp. (Kureha), a Japan-based fluorochemical producer, announced in September 2011 that it is to invest USD78.74 million to construct a new factory in Changshu, Jiangsu Province. With a designed capacity of 5,000t/a for PVDF, the construction will start in the next summer and will complete in spring 2014.

Solvay Group, a Belgium-based high-performance specialty polymers producer, announced in June 2011 that it had launched a project to build a specialty polymers production plant for PVDF in China. The plant will be built at Solvay's industrial site in Changshu in Jiangsu Province and is scheduled to become operational at the beginning of 2014.

In recent years, Chinese government has restricted the fluorite export. Therefore, multinationals outside China are facing fluorite resource shortage, especially for those based in Japan. Simultaneously, Chinese government has promulgated some policies and legislations, such as the Guided Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2011) and  the 12th Five-year Development Plan of China Fluorine Chemical Industry, to encourage the development of fluoropolymer industry in China.

China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report Newly Published

Released at the 2011 annual conference of China Organic Fluorine and Silicone

Material Industry Association, the 12^th  Five-Year Plan of China’s Fluoride Chemical Industry has set a five-year plan which aims to realize USD23.6 billion of output value by 2015, to be tripled compared with that in 2010.

To achieve the target, fluoride companies are suggested to emphasize on developing high value-added products, such as fluoropolymers, ODS substitutes and some other fine chemicals. To guarantee the development of China’s fluorine industry, the Chinese government is expected to implement various measures to protect domestic fluorite resources, including encouraging the development of fluororubber, fluororesin and fluoride fine chemicals; restricting inorganic fluoride chemicals (e.g. HF, AlF3) and HCFCs, PFOS, etc.; eliminating CFCs and inorganic fluoride (e.g. HF, AlF3) production lines with small production capacity, etc. In a word, it is worth paying more attention to China's fluorine industry as its development brings both opportunities and challenges.

CCM International's China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report, newly-launched in January 20^th, 2012, covers sectors on policy & legislation, company dynamic, supply & demand, price update, etc. It will help you follow the dynamic throughout the whole value chain immediately.

China's Fluoropolymer Industry Attracts More Foreign Investment

China's fluoropolymer industry attracts more foreign investment, driven by the booming market and resource advantage, according to CCM’s January Issue of China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report.

During the 2011 Investor Day on Dec. 12-13, 2011, DuPont indicates that the Asia-Pacific economy and the favorable industrial bases there will boost the demand for performance chemicals in 2012 and beyond. The long-term sales of performance chemicals, including TiO2 and fluoropolymers, are expected to grow 6-8% compounded annually. The increasing demand for TiO2 and fluoropolymers is complemented by ongoing capacity expansion through brown-field and productivity projects.  ...

Apart from DuPont, other multinationals also eye on China's fluoropolymer market, especially Japanese companies. In September 2011, Daikin Industries, Ltd. (Daikin), a famous Japan-based fluorochemical manufacturer, announced that it will establish a new production facility for the manufacture of ZEFFLE fluoropolymer coatings at Changshu Factory of its subsidiary Daikin Fluorochemicals (China) Co. Ltd. ...

Early in July 2011, Daikin has decided to establish a new production facility ... Kureha Corp. (Kureha), another Japan-based fluorochemical producer,...

Apart from the booming market, resource advantage and China's government's encourage are the reasons for multinationals' investment in China's fluoropolymer industry. With China's government restricting the fluorite export, multinationals outside China are facing fluorite resource shortage, especially for those based in Japan. Moreover, China's government has promulgated ...
