Polyether polyols belong to the tariff number 39072990. Other polyethers in primary form include PPE plastic pellets, polyethylene glycol, and polyphenylene ether in addition to polyether polyols. , more than 20 products including polyol combination materials and surfactants. According to the investigation and screening of last year by Tiantian Chemical Network, the export of polyether polyols accounted for about 70% of the total; the import accounted for about 55% of the total.
Other polyether exports in primary shapes
According to the latest data released by China Customs, in November 2022, China’s export volume of other polyethers in primary forms was 113,743 tons, a month-on-month increase of 3.22% and a year-on-year decrease of 26.50%. From January to November 2022, the cumulative export volume of other polyethers in primary forms in China was 1,189,868 tons, a year-on-year increase of 13.4%.
Taking Wanhua Chemical as an example, it has three major production bases in Yantai, Foshan and Ningbo. Polyether products are widely used in home appliances, panels, imitation wood, pipes, cold chains, automobiles, and exterior wall spraying , coal mine reinforcement and other major fields, a total of 17 series about more than 100 varieties. In recent years, Wanhua Chemical has also been exploring new overseas markets. In 2011, it successfully acquired Hungary’s Borsod. The export footprint of polyether polyols has spread all over the world, covering 67 countries in the world, including Vietnam, Turkey, the Russian Federation, Pakistan, India, Slovenia, South Africa etc.
Other polyether imports in primary shapes
2022In November 2022, China’s imports of other polyethers in primary forms were 36,500 tons, a month-on-month An increase of 13.94%, a year-on-year decrease of 47.05%. From January to November 2022, China imported 36,500 tons of other polyethers in primary forms, a year-on-year decrease of 22.4%.
In recent years, the self-sufficiency rate of polyether polyols in China has continued to increase significantly, and the dependence on imports has been decreasing year by year, but the volume is still relatively large. In addition to the inflow of high-end goods caused by the unbalanced quality of domestic products, Sadara , Thailand’s Dow, Singapore Shell, South Korea’s KPX and other enterprises have excessive polyether production capacity and have obvious price advantages. China, as the world’s largest consumer of polyurethane raw materials, naturally sells most of the surplus to China.
