Strong wait-and-see sentiment in the soda ash market, with low inventory!

25 Mar,2024

This week, the construction of the soda ash industry started at about 88.8%, a decrease of 1.12% compared to last week. According to statistics, the production of soda ash manufacturers this week is about 139000 tons. This week, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 795000 tons, compared to around 800000 tons last week, a decrease of 15000 tons compared to the previous week, a decrease of 1.91%. As of now, the domestic price of light soda ash is between 1800-2000 yuan/ton, and the price of heavy soda ash is between 2000-2200 yuan/ton; This week, some companies in the soda ash market have slightly reduced production, but overall production remains high; The supply and demand in the soda ash market are basically balanced, with some manufacturers reducing their inventory in a narrow range, and some enterprises still maintaining high levels of inventory; The downstream market demand is relatively stable, and most enterprises have some orders on hand. The overall inventory pressure is not high, and the market is mainly subject to narrow adjustments. In terms of futures, the overall price of soda ash fluctuated narrowly with the market environment this week. Although there has been a slight reduction in the current supply side, the overall situation is still at a high level with narrow fluctuations, and the supply-demand relationship has not yet changed. However, there is still a phenomenon of upstream price appreciation in the future, and it is not ruled out that there will be more unexpected production reduction behaviors. The support for cost reduction is still strong, and with relatively stable spot market quotations, it is difficult to see strong driving breakthroughs in the upward and downward space of futures prices. Next week's forecast: Individual soda ash companies may undergo maintenance next week, and they will deliver orders in hand; In the near future, the market production and sales have been basically balanced, and downstream enterprises are maintaining essential procurement. The soda ash market is expected to operate steadily, and the supply and demand sides are playing a game.

Soda ash skyrocketed, but the stock price did not react

20 Sep,2023

In the past month, the price of soda ash has risen like a rocket, and the supply of goods is also very tight, which has been rare since 2021. When asked about the current selling price level, in North China, light alkali is currently in the range of 3150-3200 yuan/ton (including tax exit), while heavy alkali is around 3350 yuan/ton (including tax exit); In recent days, the upward trend has significantly slowed down, and although it is still in a best-selling state, compared to the panic of competing for goods before, everyone's mentality has clearly relaxed, and perhaps they have become accustomed to this high price level. After all, it's not just the price increase of soda ash now, isn't it also the price increase of flake soda, glass, etc? The busy old Feng may only be a microcosm of many soda ash agents in the country. According to information from Wenhua Finance, on the morning of September 7th, the domestic spot market for soda ash continued to be strong and the transaction atmosphere was good; The downstream demand is relatively strong, and the enthusiasm for purchasing soda ash is high. Behind the smooth flow of goods is a rapid wave of rising prices of soda ash in the market recently. The soda ash commodity index stood at 108.00 points on August 6th, but by September 7th it had risen to 152.31 points, an increase of 41% in just one month; During these more than 30 days, the index either rose or remained flat, without even experiencing a one-day adjustment. At the same time as the price increases, it is the continuous decline of soda ash inventory. As of September 7th, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers this week was 124700 tons, a decrease of 16600 tons month on month, a decrease of 11.75%, and a year-on-year decrease of 71.62%. The reporter noticed that this has been an 11 week consecutive decline in inventory of soda ash manufacturers, and the current inventory has once again set a new record for the lowest in recent history

Use of Calcium Chloride in the Petroleum Industry

29 Aug,2023

Calcium chloride is an inorganic salt that appears as a white or grayish white powder, in the form of flakes, spheres, or granules. Calcium chloride can be divided into anhydrous calcium chloride and dihydrate calcium chloride. Due to its physical and chemical properties, calcium chloride is adopted in many industries. Paper making, dust removal, and drying all rely on calcium chloride, and petroleum extraction, which is closely related to the economy and daily life, cannot do without the role played by calcium chloride. So what is the role of calcium chloride in petroleum extraction? In the process of oil extraction, the addition of anhydrous calcium chloride has the following effects; 1. Stable mud layer: Adding calcium chloride can stabilize mud layers at different depths; 2. Lubrication drilling: lubricate the drilling to facilitate the progress of mining work; 3. Making a hole plug: Choosing high-purity calcium chloride to make a hole plug can have a fixed effect on the oil well. Calcium chloride is widely used in oil well drilling due to its low cost, easy preservation, and convenient use. We have calcium chloride products, such as anhydrous calcium chloride, dihydrate calcium chloride, industrial grade calcium chloride, food grade calcium chloride, calcium chloride tablets, calcium chloride balls, calcium chloride particles, etc., which are delivered to our doorstep in large quantities and at high prices. We welcome new and old customers with demand to order. Welcome to contact us by phone.

What is calcium chloride desiccant?

22 Jul,2023

Calcium chloride desiccant, the main material of this desiccant is calcium chloride, which can chemically react water molecules with calcium chloride, absorb moisture from the surrounding environment and transform it into a gel to achieve the adsorption effect. The internal substance of calcium chloride desiccant is in the form of powder. If children tear open the packaging of calcium chloride desiccant, the calcium chloride powder inside can easily enter the eyes, forming symptoms such as redness and swelling of the eyelids, white burns on the cornea and conjunctiva. In mild cases, corneal leukoplakia can form after treatment, affecting vision, and in severe cases, blindness. Although calcium chloride can be used as a food additive, calcium chloride desiccants are not edible. The packaging material of calcium chloride desiccant is generally fixed, with an inner layer of PET film+unidirectional breathable cloth or unidirectional breathable DuPont paper, and an outer layer of unidirectional breathable cloth, which can effectively avoid the leakage of calcium chloride desiccant powder and other phenomena. The water formed by calcium chloride desiccant after absorbing moisture is not pure water, but a calcium chloride aqueous solution that will flow out if nothing else is added. Therefore, calcium chloride desiccants require the addition of starch, so after absorbing moisture, calcium chloride desiccants will turn into yellow coagulants. Calcium chloride is an additive in plastics and fire extinguishers, used as a filter aid in wastewater treatment, and as an additive in blast furnaces to control the aggregation and adhesion of materials and avoid furnace material settlement. It acts as a diluent in fabric softeners. Calcium chloride plays a role in accelerating the initial setting in concrete, but chloride ions can cause corrosion of steel bars, so calcium chloride cannot be used in reinforced concrete. Anhydrous calcium chloride can provide a certain amount of water to concrete due to its hygroscopicity. Calcium chloride can be added as a calcium fortifier in food; It can also serve as a coagulant for tofu and cheese; Calcium chloride can be added to alcoholic beverages and refreshing beverages, which can regulate the pH and hardness of beverages; Used as a calcium fortifier, solidifying agent, chelating agent, and desiccant in the food industry; Can increase the permeability of bacterial cell walls; The dissolution and exothermic properties of calcium chloride make it suitable for self heating cans and heating pads.
