From 20,000/ton to 200,000/ton, meltblown cloth rose by 10,000 a day!

The company also focused on the introduction of nanofiber membranes, which can replace meltblown cloth as a filter material for masks, and can solve the problem of multiple use of masks
.
The Prime Minister asked the drug regulatory department to speed up the review, and once approved, increase mass production
.

The reporter obtained an "Emergency Notice on the Unified Deployment of Meltblown Cloth and Other Raw Materials" issued by the Medical Material Security Group of the Leading Group for the Prevention and Control of the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic in Zhejiang Province.
Nine key meltblown cloth production enterprises in the country have dispatched waiters, who will strengthen the production management of meltblown cloth enterprises, help enterprises to speed up the recovery of production and actively tap the potential of production capacity
.

The "Notice" also lists 13 medical mask manufacturers and 15 key mask manufacturers in Zhejiang Province, and requires the supply of raw materials for the above-mentioned 9 key meltblown cloth manufacturers to ensure medical use first and civilian use later.
Stop supplying outside the province to ensure the needs of businesses in the province

The relevant person in charge of Zhejiang Jiarui Filtration Technology Co.
, Ltd.
in the above-mentioned list of meltblown cloth manufacturers told reporters that the meltblown cloth they currently produces has indeed only been supplied to the mask manufacturers in the list in Zhejiang Province, and the unit price is 120,000 yuan per ton.

Where can companies like Ms.
He that switch to producing masks get meltblown cloth? She told reporters that small and medium-sized enterprises that switch to producing masks can now negotiate with suppliers through the WeChat raw material resource docking group, but there are different good and bad in the group , there is a phenomenon that middlemen arbitrarily set high prices
.

"There are more than 300 people in my group, and the price is one per day.
Some are meltblown cloth manufacturers, and some are middlemen who have goods in their hands.
Now the unit price of meltblown cloth per ton is about 100,000 or 200,000.
, some middlemen have already asked for 290,000 yuan, and they must be in stock, if you don’t want it today, you will sell it to others immediately

” Ms.
He said

Suppliers in the WeChat group all offer more than 200,000 yuan per ton of meltblown cloth.

The relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information also confirmed to reporters that they are only responsible for helping companies contact, and do not understand and intervene in the final transaction price.
between 200,000 yuan

Analysts in the textile industry told reporters that domestic meltblown non-woven fabrics were relatively niche before, with an annual production capacity of 53,500 tons, accounting for 1% of non-woven fabric production capacity.
They were mainly used for the production of masks, environmental protection materials, clothing, and battery separators.
and other products
.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, the demand for masks has surged, and domestic non-woven fabric leaders have also rapidly expanded their production capacity of melt-blown non-woven fabrics, such as Hengtian Jiahua, Xinlong Holdings (000955), Yanjiang Co.
, Ltd.
, etc.
It is estimated that domestic melt-blown non-woven fabrics are currently in use.
Production capacity increased to about 100,000 tons
.

According to reports, in order to help fight the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, Xinlong Holding Company, located in Chengmai County, Hainan Province, produces meltblown non-woven fabrics for mask bacterial filtration during the Spring Festival in 2020.
Raw material supply for mask manufacturers
.

The analyst believes that due to the strong demand for domestic masks, especially medical masks, there will be a short-term supply gap for meltblown non-woven fabrics.
However, due to the gradual control of the epidemic outside Hubei Province, the demand for masks is expected to gradually decline, so the price will remain in the short term.
Maintain a high level, but the probability of a sharp rise is small.
In the future, with the epidemic prevention and control in place, the price of meltblown non-woven fabrics is expected to fall back to normal levels
.

Since the raw material polypropylene of meltblown cloth is taken from petroleum, petrochemical enterprises have an advantage in the production of meltblown cloth
.
Previously, after Sinopec's official Weibo published an article seeking cooperation in mask production, "I have meltblown cloth, who has a mask machine", the contact person in the article, Mr.
Shen's phone number was quickly blown up, and the partner was found within 3 hours
.

According to reports, as of noon on February 7, Sinopec has completed 11 mask production lines with partners, and will soon enter the equipment installation process
.
Ms.
He also tried to contact the Sinopec Epaike platform recently.
The other party informed that the current stock of meltblown cloth has been given to the partner, and if you want it again, you need to issue an official letter from the local government to wait in line
.

However, the reporter noticed that in order to speed up the solution of the gap in the production of key medical prevention and control materials, on February 21, the State Council client mini-program launched the "Key Medical Prevention and Control Materials Production Process Docking Zone", if you want to provide raw materials or have Small and medium-sized enterprises in need can report supply and demand information and search for supply and demand matching in the special area
.
The reporter landed on the platform and found that most companies are looking for the supply of meltblown cloth
.

Ms.
He told reporters that after some searching and negotiation, she finally got 2 tons of goods at a price of 175,000 yuan from a Liaoning pharmaceutical company that had just approved the production of meltblown cloth
.
"These meltblown cloths can produce about 2 million masks
.
"

It is worth noting that meltblown cloth is an important raw material for medical surgical masks and N95 masks.
The dosage of the two is different.
Medical surgical masks are generally SMS structure (two layers of spunbond layer and one layer of meltblown layer), and can filter.
N95 masks with 95% fine particles sometimes need to be made of SMMMS non-woven fabric (three layers of meltblown layers), and the amount of meltblown cloth is much higher than that of ordinary masks
.
From this point of view, it is also the reason why ordinary people generally do not need to use N95
.
The original Zhong Nanshan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering has previously reminded that ordinary people do not need to use N95 masks if they are not medical workers
