The “3·21” major explosion accident in Jiangsu Xiangshui has been more than a month in the past. However, the vibration of the dye industry has continued. The chemical industry in many countries has stopped production and rectification. Recently, the price of dyes has soared in the short term.

The sudden changes in the market have also caused problems for downstream printing and dyeing enterprises. Recently, the Shaoxing Keqiao District Printing and Dyeing Industry Association has called for a boycott of a small number of dyeing and chemical production enterprises to abnormally raise the price of dyeing materials and disrupt the normal production of printing and dyeing enterprises. order.

The printing and dyeing leading enterprise Hangmin shares said at the investor reception held on April 22 that the company suspends dye purchases due to unreasonable price hikes in the current dye market, and when to restart the purchase depends on the market dye market.

To what extent does the dye price increase, how will the printing and dyeing enterprises and upstream suppliers solve? Recently, the reporter visited the printing and dyeing enterprises and industry associations in Shaoxing, Shaoxing, to understand the situation.

Almost all of the dyes have risen sharply

From the Keqiao District of Shaoxing to the north of the road to the sea, a truck loaded with white fabrics appeared more and more frequently. Follow them all the way to the mouth of the Qiantang River, which is the Binhai Industrial Zone, where 108 printing and dyeing enterprises in the Shaoxing Keqiao District of the printing and dyeing town are gathered.

According to the report of Keqiao Daily, Keqiao District has an annual production capacity of 10 billion meters, accounting for 1/3 of the national production capacity. It is a national printing and dyeing gathering area. At the same time, the printing and dyeing industry accounts for more than 20% of the total economic output of Keqiao District, and nearly 80,000 people are engaged in related work.

“In the past few days, I have asked my friends about the price of several major dyes almost every two days. According to the current price, the cost of light (purchasing) dyes will increase by 40%~50%, and the loss will be fixed in the second half of the year.” Zhou Xing The printing and dyeing factory under the name of (a pseudonym) has just completed the upgrade and transformation last year, but it has not yet officially started to produce enough horsepower, and it faces the problem of output and loss. "To tell the truth, the price of dyes has risen a bit before the Xiangshui bombings. According to the trend of previous years, prices will stabilize in March and April, but this year is obviously different." Zhou Xing said.

In an interview with a number of printing and dyeing business owners, the reporter learned that since the "3·21" major explosion accident in Jiangsu Xiangshui, the dye company's shipments have slowed down since the second day, and then the price increase has become increasingly fierce.

According to the rising supplier price, among the most widely used concentrated dyes, the dispersed black ETC 300% rose from 38 yuan/kg to 70 yuan/kg, and the S-GL Cuilan rose from 160 yuan/kg to 500 yuan/kg. ZBLH Lan 100 yuan / kg rose to 350 yuan / kg, red jade 30 yuan / kg rose to 60 yuan / kg, red 30 yuan / kg rose to 60 yuan / kg.

"To dye a cloth, you need to use a few kinds to dozens of different types of dyes. In previous years, the price increase of dyes was generally increased by several varieties, and the printing and dyeing factory could control the cost by adjusting the orders. But now Dyestuffs are almost all the price increase, the most fierce disperse dyes, the basic increase is more than 70%, more than 100% to 150%, other similar acid dye reactive dyes also have 20% to 50% The increase." Zhou Xing said.

Some manufacturers would like to pay for liquidated damages?

The reporter learned that manufacturers with an annual output value of nearly 100 million yuan are limited by the pressure of liquidity and will reserve two to three months of raw materials for dye stocking. From March 21 to the present, the reserve dyes will soon bottom out. The price has risen higher and higher. "What you can see is the loss. In the past two months, depending on some reserves, you can enter some high-priced dyes in small batches, and you can barely live." Zhou Xing said: But if the days are still so If you are high, you will lose money in the second half of the year.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Shaoxing Keqiao District Printing and Dyeing Industry Association told reporters that from the situation reflected by the small and medium-sized printing and dyeing enterprises, the price increase of dyes has become irrational, in addition to the price of intentional speculation, intermediaries, The salesperson and even some of the production enterprises themselves also have the phenomenon of “selling goods”. “Dye prices have soared. Some companies have encountered suppliers’ refusal to perform the existing contract supply on the grounds of out-of-stocks. They even prefer to pay liquidated damages and not fulfill the contract,” the official said.

Another person in charge of a large local printing and dyeing company told reporters that most of the printing and dyeing enterprises in Keqiao District have reached a consensus, hoping to resist the phenomenon of abnormal dyeing.

The relevant person in charge of the Printing and Dyeing Association of Zhejiang Province also pointed out in an interview with reporters that in view of the current price increase of dyes, it is hoped that both the supply and demand sides can understand each other and ease the contradiction by means of communication.

However, how should we solve the above problems while resisting? The head of the Keqiao Printing and Dyeing Association mentioned above told reporters that the association hopes to contact the industry through relevant government departments and resolve it through dialogue and consultation. However, he also acknowledges that the current efforts have had little effect.

The oligopoly advantage of printing and dyeing enterprises is further strengthened

The reporter noted that in recent years, the price increase of dyes has gone through many rounds. Relevant industry insiders said that in recent years, dye production enterprises have always been in an advantage in bargaining power compared with printing and dyeing enterprises. The production capacity of dye production enterprises is tightening. On the other hand, the oligarchy pattern of dye companies gives the upstream a stronger pricing power.

The reporter learned that the first thing that affected the explosion was the domestic market pattern of phenylenediamine in the dye intermediate. It is understood that m-phenylenediamine is used in several large varieties of reactive dyes in addition to a large number of disperse dyes. Reactive black, active yellow. "That is to say, although the amount of m-phenylenediamine is small, it is a raw material required for a variety of dyes, and its supply directly affects a considerable proportion of dye production." A related person in the printing and dyeing industry told reporters.

The above-mentioned person in charge of the printing and dyeing industry in Zhejiang pointed out that after the explosion, the disperse dye production capacity in the North Jiangsu Park was shut down and rectified, and the industry concentration was further improved. Taking Zhejiang Province as an example, the leading manufacturer of disperse dyes, led by Zhejiang Longsheng, further increased the price of speech. In addition, globally, disperse dye manufacturers are mainly in China, and in the short term, they cannot rely on imports to solve the market supply of domestic disperse dyes.
