中國政府批准沙特基礎工業公司 (SABIC) 與中國石油化工公司 (Sinopec) 的合作計畫

11/07/2009

沙特基礎工業公司(SABIC)今日宣布已自中華人民共和國國家發展和改革委員會(NDRC)獲得一份官方的許可,准許該公司與中國石油化工公司(Sinopec)共同參與現於中國天津建造的天津石化工業區。



繼雙方於2008年6月21日在沙烏地阿拉伯吉達市簽署的策略合作協議之後,中國政府批准了此項計劃。此協議聲明雙方將在天津各以50/50的股份成立合資事業,並研究增加新產品(聚碳酸酯)的可行性。此新產品使用的原物料將於工業區內生產,其技術將由沙特基礎工業公司提供。



廠區預計將於2009年9月完工,投資額約30億美元。廠區總產量大約估計為320萬噸的各式石化製品,包含1百萬噸的乙烯及其他下游產品,如聚乙烯、乙二醇、聚丙烯(PP)、丁二烯、苯酚及丁烯-1。



受到中國經濟高成長率的推動,中國目前有全球最大的石化市場。天津石化工業區計畫的參與將拓展沙特基礎工業公司於亞洲的市場。同時,透過在中國提供產品及服務的在地的優勢,可確保拉近與當地客戶之間的距離,進而強化該公司致力成為全球首選化學製品供應商的策略性目標。

原料價跌需求減 10月塑化內銷報價走跌

http://www.cdnews.com.tw 2009-10-05 17:18:00

王鵬捷/綜合報導

 由於國際乙烯供給充裕,原料價跌,加上大陸十一長假的需求減少等影響,台塑和台聚兩集團的10月國內塑化原料報價均下跌,其中以ABS每公斤下滑3.5元到5.5元最多。

 中央社5日報導,由於莫拉克颱風引發88水災重創南台灣,台塑和台聚兩集團決定同舟共濟,9月塑化原料內銷報價不調價,維持與8月份相同。台聚 (1304) 表示,由於大陸十一長假效應,導致需求減少,因此上游乙烯價格下跌,各項下游的塑化原料價格也同步走跌;同時新台幣升值也有助塑化原料價格下跌。

 對於大陸獨山子石化廠順利投產,產能日漸增加,台聚指出,乙烯市場已經先反應這項利空,價格下跌,不過市場還在觀察獨山子石化廠產品的價格和品質,長期來看,第4季乙烯和塑化原料價格看跌,會影響獲利的多寡主要視乙烯或是塑化原料的跌幅孰大。塑化原料10月最新國內報價包括,台塑 (1301)聚乙烯 (射出級6630M)每公斤由9月的新台幣56.28元降到54.18元,降幅3.73%;高密度聚乙烯HDPE(射出級)每公斤由9月的50.61元降到48.51元,降幅4.15%;HDPE射出瓶蓋級8040每公斤由9月的51.24元降到49.14元,降幅4.10%。台聚低密度聚乙烯 (LDPE)每公斤由9月的54.8元降到52.3元,降幅4.56%;線性低密度聚乙烯 (LLDPE)每公斤由48.4元降到47.1元,降幅2.69%;乙烯醋酸乙烯酯 (EVA)每公斤由59.4元降到57.4元,降幅3.37%。

 HDPE(抽絲級)每公斤由9月的49.6元降到47.4元,降幅4.44%;HDPE(射出級606)每公斤由9月的48.4元降到46.4元,降幅4.13%。

 亞聚 (1308) PE(吹袋級)每公斤由9月的53.8元降到51.8元,降幅3.72%;EVA 9月每公斤由58.8元降到56.8元,降幅3.40%。

 奇美聚苯乙烯 (PS)一般級PG-33現金價每公斤由9月的45元降到41元,降幅8.89%;台達化EPS發泡級301每公斤由44元降到40元,降幅9.09%、台達GPS通用級GPS 861(N/B)每公斤由45元降到39.5元,降幅12.22%,是所有原料中降幅最大者。

 奇美ABS(丙烯 (月青)、丁二烯、SM化合物)一般級PA-757每公斤降到54元、PA-717C每公斤降到54.5元、PA-765A每公斤降到84.5元;台達化電鍍級ABS 1250每公斤降到55.5元、ABS 1000每公斤降到52.5元。

《紡纖股》中國尼龍粒進口創新高,集盛受惠

2009/10/02 12:06 時報資訊

【時報記者任珮云台北報導】受到下游需求熱絡的影響,中國今年尼龍粒進口年增率1成,其中自台灣進口的比重達45.81%,在中國進口持續增長下,集盛 (1455) 也明顯受惠,集盛9月尼龍粒出口約9000多噸,營收可望較八月成長,今早股價站上面額10元,創近二年新高。

集盛指出,第四季原物價價格回復正常,出貨貨量持平。但對於今年全年的營收,集盛不發表看法。先前法人的估測今年獲利上看6億,年營收200億元目標,集盛也只說,那是法人的推估。

中國尼龍粒進口量增,主要受惠於中國擴張內需的政策奏效,汽車銷售明顯成長,輪胎的需求也同步增加,間接帶動CPL和尼龍粒的進口寫下歷史新高。由於大陸尼龍粒自給不足,大約有三分之一需要仰賴進口,台灣尼龍切片挾成本及品質優勢成為大陸尼龍切片最大進口來源,今年大陸車市熱效,也間接帶動尼龍粒需求。

Ford wants bioplastic in cars

Ford researchers are hoping to develop 100% petroleum-free automotive plastics to make it to make cars totally compostable - as long as they don't compost while being driven of course. In fact, decomposition is one of the 3 main challenges that Ford is trying to overcome since bioplastic (e.g. polylactic acid) is designed to decompose quickly.

Maybe bioplastic developers can design a time-activated material where vehicles have expiration date and that's when decomposition process starts??

Other challenges that Ford researchers are looking for solutions include less moisture absorption (since natural fiber-reinforced plastics are more likely to absorb moisture causing durability concerns), and odor problems.

Despite those challenges, biobased/recycled materials are already being used in several Ford vehicles:
Soy-based polyurethane foams on the seat cushions and seatbacks on the Ford Mustang, Expedition, F-150, Focus, Escape, Escape Hybrid, Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator and Lincoln MKS.
Soy-foam headliner on the 2010 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner.
Underbody systems, such as aerodynamic shields, splash shields and radiator air deflector shields, made from post-consumer recycled resins such as detergent bottles, tires and battery casings.
100% postindustrial recycled yarns in seat fabrics on vehicles such as the Ford Escape. The 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan Hybrids feature 85% postindustrial yarns and 15% solution-dyed yarns.
Ford researchers said they are looking more at plastics, rubber, foam, film and fabric to develop alternative bio-based materials that are functional, durable, cost-effective, and decreases use of petroleum oil.

Possibilities include replacing glass fibers with natural fiber reinforcements made from cellulose, soy protein, hemp fiber, flax fiber and other bio-based materials; and PLA bioplastics for vehicle carpeting, floor mats, upholstery, and nondurable auto applications such as protective wrappings used during vehicle manufacturing and transit.

SPI: Bioplastics market expected to grow by 17.3% annually

The global market for bioplastics currently stands at about EUR 640m and is estimated to reach EUR 1.3 bn in 2012, according to BBC Research (www.bbcresearch.com).

Translated into tonnage, this means that this particular market is expected to grow at 17.3% annually, from 245,000 t in 2007 to 545,000 t in 2012, more than doubling in volume. That is the prediction of the Bioplastics Council, a special interest group of the Society of Plastics Industry (SPI, Washington, District of Columbia / USA; www.plasticsindustry.org).

Responding to this rapid growth, the Bioplastics Council recently published a 26-page ioplastics Industry Overview Guide.�
