Affected by the plunge in international crude oil prices, the domestic market for polypropylene, polyethylene, PTA, rubber, and methanol all showed a downward trend.

“The price of refined oil and other oil products is most obviously affected by the drop in international oil prices.” Zhu Chunkai, an analyst at Zhuo Chuang, told the Futures Daily that apart from being an energy source, crude oil is also a basic raw material for chemicals. The decline in international oil prices will affect the mentality of the relevant species investors, leading to the emergence of domino effect.

Since June of this year, the largest fall in the value of the plastics futures of the DEC has been 26%, the largest decrease in PVC futures was 13%, the largest decrease in the PP futures was 23.7%, and the largest decrease in the PTA futures was 41.4%. .

The degree of domestic marketization of crude oil and chemical products is not yet high enough. The international crude oil price will generally lag behind the price of domestic plastics, PP and related products. “However, the degree of marketization of PTA is relatively high, and it is more sensitive to changes in international crude oil prices. The decline in oil prices has the most significant effect on the price of PTA,” said the analyst.

In addition to being dragged down by the drop in crude oil prices, the decline in chemical fiber-related products also has a serious overcapacity factor. Analysts believe that the current PTA companies limit production insured prices, can only support the PTA stage, unable to fundamentally reverse the decline in PTA prices.

As the international crude oil price “drops and falls”, the current downstream companies will not be willing to purchase polyester filament stocks, and they will adopt the out-of-the-box strategy. “In the context of PTA cost collapse, downstream companies continue to bearish on the outlook. PTA demand may be curbed. PTA prices still have room to fall. In addition, the recent decline in plastic than PP, the market outlook may continue to fall."

The reporter found that in the process of the decline of crude oil all the way, the PP spot is under pressure. According to the data, as of last Friday (December 12), the PP price in the domestic market fell by 100-300 yuan/ton compared with the end of June this year. On the 12th of this month, some PetroChina companies lowered their PP ex-factory prices. PP futures opened lower and higher in the past two days, but their sentiment on the spot market was limited. Most businesses continue to look after the market and actively ship. At the same time, the downstream manufacturers are cautious and wait to see if the willingness to receive goods is low, and PP spot market transactions are relatively light.

It is understood that the raw materials for plastic products are mainly petroleum ethylene, and the drop in the price of crude oil will greatly reduce the production cost of synthetic plastics. The rubber market was also affected by the price of crude oil. The drop in crude oil prices lowered the production cost and price of synthetic rubber and drove down the price of natural rubber.

A Pu system for shoe soles refers to the use of polyurethane (PU) material in the manufacturing of shoe soles. PU is a versatile and durable material that offers several advantages for shoe soles.
Here are some key features and benefits of using a PU system for shoe soles:
1. Cushioning: PU provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption properties, making it ideal for footwear that requires high levels of comfort and impact protection.
2. Lightweight: PU is a lightweight material, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe, making it more comfortable to wear and reducing fatigue during extended use.
3. Flexibility: PU offers good flexibility, allowing the shoe sole to bend and flex with the natural movement of the foot. This enhances comfort and prevents stiffness or discomfort during walking or running.
4. Durability: PU is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for long-lasting shoe soles. It can withstand repeated use and exposure to various environmental conditions without losing its structural integrity.
5. Slip resistance: PU can be formulated with specific additives to enhance its slip resistance properties, providing better traction and grip on different surfaces. This is especially important for safety footwear or shoes used in slippery conditions.
6. Design versatility: PU can be molded into various shapes and designs, allowing for greater design flexibility and customization options for shoe soles. This enables manufacturers to create unique and visually appealing footwear.
7. Water resistance: PU can be made water-resistant or waterproof, which helps protect the shoe sole and the foot from moisture, rain, or other wet conditions.
Overall, a PU system for shoe soles offers a combination of comfort, durability, flexibility, and design versatility, making it a popular choice for footwear manufacturers and consumers alike.
