Brief of Company dynamics

Jiangsu Yoke should benefit from the developing phosphorus flame retardant industry. Bromine flame retardants such as hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) are being phased out while phosphorus flame retardants are gaining ground.

At present, the top priority for Jiangsu Yoke shall be the digestion of expanding capacity. In 2013, the company intends to vigorously develop domestic consumer market besides further increasing the export scale. In view of the oversupply of middle and low products in domestic market, improving production process and product quality would be also crucial for Jiangsu Yoke.

Chongqing Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. of Pangang Group (Panyu Titanium Industry) planed to construct a chloride process titanium dioxide production line with a capacity of 100,000t/a in 2013. This production line is still under construction till July 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2015. This project will be good for declining the production costs of the company and environmental protection. Panyu Titanium Industry is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pangang Group Steel Vanadium and Titanium Company, specialized in the production of titanium dioxide powder (Rutile Grade).

Titanium Dioxide China Monthly Report & Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report is a monthly publication released by CCM.

Accelerated pace of phosphorus flame retardant replacing bromine flame retardant

According to Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report issued by CCM in August, on July 8, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology & Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIMTE) signed a cooperation agreement with Guizhou Yuanyi Mining Group Co., Ltd. (Guizhou Yuanyi) to jointly promote the development and industrialization of phosphorus flame retardant with high-temperature resistance used in engineering plastics. Guizhou Yuanyi has sufficient phosphorus ore resources, processing a phosphorus ore mine and a coal mine in Weng'an County, which is very favorable for the development of phosphorus flame retardants.

NIMTE has achieved fruitful results in the synthesis of high-performance halogen-free flame retardants. Just on April 15, NIMTE signed a cooperation agreement with Polyrocks Chemical Co., Ltd. (Polyrocks Chemical) to jointly put forward the development and production of high-end phosphorus flame retardants. Polyrocks Chemical is engaged in the production of environmentally friendly halogen-free flame retardants.  

In recent years, phosphorus flame retardants have drawn more and more attention as an alternative of bromine flame retardants. In China, the capacity of phosphorus flame retardants has reached 150,000t/a as of July 2013, while the production was about 100,000 tonnes in 2012. With the miniaturization trend of electronic products and the development and adoption of tin-free electric welding technology, it's more and more necessary to develop new type of flame retardant with high-temperature resistance, chemical stability, well electric property and mechanical property used in engineering plastics. High-end phosphorus flame retardant is considered to be one of the major development directions.

Two factors may accelerate the pace of phosphorus flame retardants, especially relatively high-powered ones, replacing bromine flame retardants.

Firstly, many kinds of bromine flame retardants, the most popular flame retardants, have been phased out in more and more countries. For example, a global ban on hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a kind of bromine flame retardant commonly used in insulation, textile and electronics sectors, was issued at the sixth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Stockholm Convention held from April 28–May 10, 2013 in Geneva. In 2009, two kinds of bromine flame retardants—pentabromodiphenyl ether and octabromodiphenyl ether—had already been eliminated. In this context, it's very necessary to find an alternative of bromine flame retardants, and phosphorus flame retardant is a good option with relatively mature production technology.

Secondly, China is a net bromine importer, with the monthly import volume of more than 2,000 tonnes, and 49% of bromine in China is used to produce flame retardants. On July 29, 2013, the government of Weifang City, Shandong Province officially announced that it will shut down 80% of local bromine capacity within three years in consideration of environmental protection. This issue may cause the domestic supply of bromine to become tighter, since the bromine capacity in Weifang City accounts for 60% of China's total capacity. 

Although it is a development trend that phosphorus flame retardants are gradually replacing bromine flame retardants, some properties of phosphorus flame retardants are not as good as that of bromine flame retardants restricted by the production technology level. Besides, the large scale production of phosphorus flame retardants may be restricted in the future in consideration of the scarcity and non-regeneration of phosphorus resources.

Hubei Xingfa foresees a profit down in H1 2013

On June 3rd, 2013, Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. (Hubei Xingfa) reported it expects to report a 30-50% decline in net profit in the first half of 2013, compared to USD25.66 million of net profit in H1 2012, according to CCM’s Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report issued in June.

Hubei Xingfa attributed the expected profit drop to the following three points:

Firstly, the market price of phosphorus ore is declining while the cost of phosphorus mining is rising.

Secondly, electricity costs have risen sharply because of drought. Hubei Xingfa gets most of its electricity from hydropower it owns. But drought has caused Hubei Xingfa to buy more electricity from more expensive outside sources than last year to maintain production.

Thirdly, the company's newly launched 600,000t/a DAP project has suffered losses. The project came on stream at the end of 2012, and is operated by wholly owned subsidiary Yidu Xingfa Chemical Co., Ltd. (Yidu Xingfa). Obviously, Hubei Xingfa overestimated the tendency of phosphate fertilizer market.

Hubei Xinfa's performance reflects the status of China's entire phosphorus chemical industry. While phosphorous ore business has been highly profitable in recent years, margins of the phosphorus chemical industry are getting thinner as gloominess in the downstream phosphate fertilizer market spread to the upstream phosphorus ore market. New projects face a tough time generating profitability, and the profit margin of phosphorus manufacturing firms in the entire industry is being squeezed.

China is facing an imbalance in phosphorus resource reserves

Despite much effort to increase phosphorus resource reserves, China still needs to brace itself for an imbalance in phosphorus resource reserves in the face of the fast growing exploitation of phosphorus resources, according to Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report 1304 issued by CCM in April.

 

On Mar. 27th, 2013, China's Ministry of Land and Resources published positive data on China's current mineral resources status. The data shows that the proven reserves of phosphorus ore reached 20.74 billion tonnes in China by the end of 2012, increasing by 4.85% compared to that of 2011. However, the newly increasing reserves of phosphorus resources are still incapable of offsetting the annual consumption of phosphorus resources.

In the light of the data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China's basic reserve of phosphorus resources maintained a continued decline. By the end of 2011, China owned 2,893 million tonnes of phosphorus ore whose actual economic value can be exploited under the current mining technology.

 

Furthermore, China still maintains an accelerating growth in the exploitation of phosphorus ore.

 

In the first two months of 2013, China produced 12,719,393 tonnes of phosphorus ore with a content of 30% P2O5, increasing by 15.69% compared to that of the same period of last year. It could forecast that the output of phosphorus ore might exceed 100 million tonnes in China in 2013 at the current rate. In recent years, China has maintained a fast growth in the exploitation of phosphorus ore. From 2008 to 2012, the output of phosphorus ore nearly doubled in China, from 49.72 million to 95.78 million tonnes. At the current consumption levels, China can barely provide itself with essential phosphorus resources for more than 40 years under the current mining technology.

China could inject part of its phosphorus ore into the international market in addition to meeting self-sufficiency targets; however, another truth is that China's abundant phosphorus resources are of low grade. Average purity of China’s phosphorus ore is only 17% and 80% of China’s phosphorus ore is middle and low-grade collophanite, which includes plenty of impurities; thus the workload of ore dressing for it is bigger than that for high grade varieties. As the largest phosphorus ore consumption country, China has seen phosphorus ore as a strategic resource for years. For China, therefore, the solution to relieving the potential resource tension is to encourage advancements in low-grade phosphorus ore utilization technology.

Success in pilot production would drive the process of Zhijin Project

Once the construction process of phosphate concentrates is sped up, the first phase of Zhijin Project may be completed soon. 

Zhijin Project, as one cooperation project between Guizhou Government and Wengfu Group and China National Offshore Oil Corporation launched in Oct. 2011, is supposed to be the biggest investment among China's current on-going phosphorus projects in recent years—amounting to USD2.16 billion. In addition to huge investment and projects about rare earth elements recovery from phosphorus ore, Zhijin Project also focuses on developing and making use of phosphorus resources in Zhijin County Guizhou Province.

Zhijin Region holds 1.49 billion tonnes of phosphorus ore reserves, approaching half the reserves of Guizhou Province. Furthermore, phosphorus mine in Zhijin Region is the last largest untapped phosphate metallogenetic belt in Guizhou Province up to now. With the advance of Zhijin Project, especially projects concerning the recovery of rare earth elements from phosphorus ore, the value of phosphorus ore in Zhijing Region will correspondingly grow.

For China's overall phosphorus industry, Zhijin Project means increasing supply in phosphorus ore and types of phosphorus intermediate chemicals. While for Wengfu Group - an investor and a technology supplier, the success of Zhijin Project can be seen as an opportunity to show its technical superiority in China to some extent.

Failed to develop lithium iron phosphate in succession

As China's two well-known phosphorus companies -Jiangsu Chengxing Phoshorus-Chemcials Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Chengxing) and Liuguo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Liuguo Chemical) failed to develop lithium iron phosphate in succession, competitors should be cautious about choosing their business for expansion.

                                                  

On Nov. 11th, Jiangsu Chengxing, known as China's top phosphate chemical producer, announced that it plans to withdraw capital from its holding subsidiary — Jiangyin Tiancheng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Tiancheng New Energy), amounting to USD2.97 million investment. Jiangsu Chengxing's move is mainly affected by mediocre development of lithium iron phosphate since the establishment of Tiancheng New Energy.

  

With a registered capital of USD10.62 million, Tiancheng New Energy was formed by Jiangsu Chengxing in April 2010. Thereinto, Jiangsu Chengxing accounts for 28% stakes. In accordance with the initial scheme, Tiancheng New Energy should get into the mass production of lithium iron phosphate. 

 

In addition to Jiangsu Chengxing, Liuguo Chemical, as a listed company specializing in producing phosphate fertilizers (DAP, MAP and types of compound fertilizers), also takes a hit in extension of lithium iron phosphate.

 

On June 18th, 2010, Liuguo Chemical and Sichuan University signed a two-year technical service contract. According to the contract, Sichuan University should develop production technology of lithium iron phosphate to achieve mass production. However, the target of mass production was not realized till expiration of contract. Nonetheless, Liuguo Chemical expressed that they would not give up the development of lithium iron phosphate. The cooperation with Sichuan University is still in progress, as noted by one insider from the company.

Vietnam intended to raise the export tariff of multiple minerals

On Oct. 25, Vietnam's medium Th i Báo Kinh T Sài Gòn （TBKTSG） disclosed that Vietnam intended to raise the export tariff on multiple minerals, including phosphorus ore. Besides, the new export tariff on phosphorus ore will rise from 10%-15% to 15-25% and is expected to be implemented this year.

Vietnam's restriction on export of phosphorus ore takes a toll on the international market of phosphorus ore. As for China, the pressure may be exerted on domestic ammonium phosphate producers if Vietnam's ammonium phosphate industry gets a booming development in the future. For the moment at least, there's no intersection between China and Vietnam in terms of phosphorus ore business.

According to data from United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN comtrade), India was the main export destination of Vietnam's phosphorus ore in 2008-2011. In 2011, Vietnam exported 586,846 tonnes of phosphorus ore, of which 71.11% was exported to India.

While for India, it seemed it did not rely too much on Vietnam's phosphorus ore. Among India's import of phosphorus ore in 2011, only 8.16% was from Vietnam. Generally speaking, Vietnam's push in this direction is definitely in the best interests of protecting local resources and restricting exports. In the meantime, it would be conducive to developing local downstream phosphorus products like yellow phosphorus and ammonium phosphate.

By the end of Oct. 2012, the capacity of phosphate in Vietnam had increased to 1,370,000t/a, whilst Vietnam's capacity expansion of ammonium phosphate was under way. In Jan. 2012, Vietnam National Chemical Corp. (VNCC) constructed its second ammonium phosphate facility. By 2015, VNCC's capacity of ammonium phosphate is expected to increase to 660,000t/a, which can surely boost the demand for phosphorus ore. In addition, this also can entail sufficient feedstock to supply its booming yellow phosphorus industry.

As the second largest holder of phosphorus ore resource in the world, China has been a net phosphorus ore exporter over these years. Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report provides you the latest information on company dynamic, industry dynamic, factors impacting the price fluctuation, technology improvement, and supply & demand of China's phosphorus industry.

Latest Update in China’s Phosphorus Market

In June 2012, Chinese Government continues to release conservative macroeconomic policy to lighten enterprises’ pressure and stimulate economic growth—reducing the retail price of electricity for China’s industrial producers. Thus, yellow phosphorus producers, as the major electricity consumer in China, could benefit from the macroeconomic policy. What kind of influence will the macroeconomic policy make on domestic yellow phosphorus industry?
 
As for the entire China’s phosphorus industry in June 2012, they generally face falling price either because of the reduction in cost of raw material or the sluggish demand. Will the price continue to keep falling in July?

In addition, China is to encounter tight supply in phosphorus ore under the influence of climate - continuous rainfall in Sichuan and Guizhou. How to response the bad weather?

All answers can be found in CCM International’s Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report, which provides you the latest information on company dynamic, industry dynamic, factors impacting the price fluctuation, technology improvement, supply & demand of China's phosphorus industry.

Headline news in the July issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report:

-Wengfu Group continues to expand mining areas for its current phosphorus mine to prevent tight supply.

-With ever-increasing concerns on rare earth resources, the technology of separating rare earth elements from phosphorus ore is expected to add value to phosphorus resources.

-The auction of 20% shares in JSC Apatit is becoming fierce in Russia.

-Although Kaiyang Government will provide subsidy for local yellow phosphorus producers to encourage local production of yellow phosphorus, it’s to face challenge from other yellow phosphorus production areas.

-Declined export guarantee money for DAP is conductive to relieving the financial pressure of China’s DAP traders based on reduced export cost.

-China BlueChemical is expected to rank among the forefront of phosphate industry in China via expanding scale of business and recourses.

-With the coming of export peak season and decreasing supply in the US, China is to contribute more force to global DAP market.

-The effect of China’s phosphate fertilizer reserve stratagem is at a transition, from ensuring supply in off season to relieve enterprises’ sale pressure in off season
