Soft packaging naturally requires adhesives and chemical auxiliaries that meet the needs of different functions. After the water explosion accident, the carpet safety inspections of chemical companies were opened all over the country. The upstream raw materials enterprises of soft packaging have taken the lead in feeling the shock wave of rising prices. Recently, Jiangsu Province announced that it will reduce the chemical industry park in the province to about 20, and the chemical enterprises will control less than 1,000 before the end of 2022. Such a big shock in the industry will surely cause the prices of chemical raw materials to continue to soar, and the flexible packaging industry will continue to be affected!

The latest news, on April 4, the Yancheng Municipal Government decided to completely shut down the Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park and included Chenjiagang Town as a pilot project to improve the housing conditions of the peasants in the city, “Ten Towns and 100 Villages”, and accelerate the realization of rural revitalization. At the same time, we must do a good job in the chemical rectification work in the whole city. According to the provincial chemical industry rectification and improvement plan, we will further raise the rectification standards of the chemical industry parks and chemical enterprises in this city, and support the construction of “Nuhua District” in various regions.

After the explosion, Jiangsu Province subsequently issued the “Jiangsu Chemical Industry Remediation Improvement Plan (Draft for Comment)”. The explosion point in this document is that before the end of 2020, the number of chemical enterprises in the province will be reduced to 2,000 to 2022. Before the end of the year, the number of chemical companies was controlled to less than 1,000, and a comprehensive evaluation of 50 chemical parks across the province was required. According to the evaluation results, the pressure was reduced to about 20, which is a sunny day for the chemical industry.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of chemical companies in Jiangsu Province totals more than 7,400. According to the document “Jiangsu Chemical Industry Improvement and Improvement Plan (Draft for Comment)”, only 1,000 chemical companies will be retained, which means Sixty-four companies will face closures. Prior to this, Jiangsu Province had closed 7,000 chemical companies, and this closure was unprecedented.

More strictly, some areas in Jiangsu have put the “Non-Chemical Zone” on the agenda, which will inevitably affect the chemical enterprises in the province. In the past two years, chemical industry accidents have occurred frequently, and relevant government departments have become the top priority for environmental protection and safety management of chemical companies, but closure is faster and more direct than governance, so this time the closure of chemical companies The intensity is also unprecedented. In some areas, the idea of a chemical company is not retained, and all chemical companies are moving out.

In this unprecedented management of the Jiangsu region, the fine chemical industry such as dyes and intermediates has also become the focus of the industry rectification. Not only the small-scale enterprises in the industry, but also the enterprises outside the park are concentrated and mass-produced. The fine chemical enterprises in the park are strictly In addition to the review, Jiangsu Province will ban new pesticide, pharmaceutical, and dye intermediate projects in the future, and will no longer increase chemical pesticide production enterprises. However, there are a large number of dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticide intermediates in Jiangsu Province, and the total production capacity is relatively high. With the rectification of the chemical industry, many small-scale dispersed dyes and intermediates have withdrawn from the industry competition, and dyes and intermediates. Industry leaders will also be re-examined in the short term. It is expected that the supply of fine chemical products such as dyes and intermediates will be greatly affected, and product prices are expected to fluctuate significantly.

The chemical explosion in Jiangsu Province caused the prices of major chemical raw materials in the country to rise wildly. Some chemical raw materials prices soared by more than 300% in just 15 days. If the draft is approved, 20 chemical parks will be closed. More than 6,400 chemical companies will further accelerate the rate and extent of chemical raw material prices, which means that domestic chemical raw materials prices will remain high for a long time to come.

Whether the incident will affect Shandong, the largest chemical province in China, and Guangdong, the third largest chemical province, is still unknown. According to incomplete statistics, there are 199 chemical parks in Shandong Province, and the chemical enterprises announced in the province. There are 9069 companies, and the Shandong Provincial Government has requested that the number of chemical parks be reduced to less than 100, which means that 50% of the chemical parks will be closed. Incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,000 large-scale coating enterprises in the province of Guangdong Province, not counting other chemical companies. The number of chemical companies is also close to 10,000.

The solicitation of opinions on the large-scale shutdown of chemical enterprises in Jiangsu has aroused the hot debate in the industry.
