Summary of Organic Silicon Market on June 22nd:
In late June, the domestic DMC market continued to show a weak downward trend, with the national average price closing at around 14200 yuan/ton. On the cost side, upstream industrial silicon is in a period of abundant water, and the operating rate in the southwest region is increasing. The supply of industrial silicon is sufficient, and individual factories purchase according to demand. In addition, the methanol market is expected to fluctuate weakly, and the overall production cost still has room for downward exploration. On the supply side, as the frequency of maintenance for individual factories increases, the overall operating load of the industry remains below 70%. Some individual factories are facing the risk of inventory accumulation after the holiday, and high inventory manufacturers have a strong willingness to reduce inventory, resulting in a shift in the actual transaction price center of gravity. On the demand side, downstream customers have a strong wait-and-see attitude. Most companies purchase according to demand, and the situation of new orders from individual factories is average. Coupled with the gradual digestion of pre-sale orders in the early stage, the pressure on individual factories to ship has increased. A certain large factory has lowered the price of all products to the guidance level of industry conferences in the early stage.
In addition, the industry plans to hold a coordination meeting in July, which is expected to boost the silicone market. Based on the current cost and supply and demand situation, it is expected that the price of organic silicon market will maintain a weak and volatile consolidation trend in the short term.
On June 22nd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silicon Treasure issued a safety statement: Jiahao Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive does not contain toxic substance formamide. The content is as follows:
Dear partners and customers
Hello!
Recently, it has been reported by the media that multiple baby diapers have been found to contain the reproductive toxic substance formamide, which belongs to the EU Class 1B high concern reproductive toxin. Long term close contact can damage the liver and kidneys of infants and young children, interfere with the development of the reproductive system, and cause widespread concern among consumers and industry customers.
In response to this public opinion, our company hereby solemnly makes the following statement and commitment regarding the hot melt adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive products used in the production of our supporting diapers:
1. All raw materials used by our company to produce hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives do not contain formamide (CAS: 75-12-7), and there is no intentional addition of this substance during the entire production process;
2. Hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive adopts a melt mixing process, with no foaming process throughout the process, and does not involve chemical reaction conditions such as azodicarbonamide (AC foaming agent) that may produce formamide by-products. At the same time, the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive production line is independent, solvent-free, and there is no risk of solvent cross contamination.
3. Our company strictly implements hazardous substance control standards and entrusts a third-party authoritative testing agency to complete REACH SVHC high concern substance screening (covering 253 items) testing every year. The results of formamide testing are all "not detected", and the complete testing report can be provided to your company at any time for compliance filing.
