The expansion speed of aminoacetic acid enterprises in China is too fast

Introduction: on April 22, a person in charge of Hebei Donghua Chemical Corporation, the largest production base of aminoacetic acid in Asia, said that in the past one or two years, the expansion speed of aminoacetic acid enterprises in China is very fast, but if we only focus on the best-selling and do not pay attention to the improvement of quality and brand, the market of aminoacetic acid will be out of balance Aminoacetic acid is a kind of fine chemical product, which is widely used in the production of medicine, pesticide, food additive, feed additive, foliar fertilizer, etc., and its biggest use is to synthesize herbicide glyphosate Because glyphosate is a highland of competition among pesticide enterprises, it has driven the rise of aminoacetic acid Zhang Wenqing, deputy general manager of Hebei Donghua Chemical Corporation, said: "at present, the actual output of glyphosate in China is estimated to be at least 150000 tons By the end of 2005, it is likely to exceed 200000 tons Such a growth rate will inevitably lead to the crazy growth of aminoacetic acid." At present, the industrial grade products of aminoacetic acid have increased from 14000 yuan per ton in the same period last year to 19000 yuan at present, while the food grade products have increased from 16000 yuan per ton to 22000 yuan at present In this situation, it will inevitably cause the old factory to expand production and the new factory to come into operation, which will increase the market pressure In fact, the aminoacetic acid industry has been faced with the "neck" of the rising price of upstream raw materials The main raw materials of the enterprises that produce aminoacetic acid with chloroacetic acid as raw materials have risen sharply Each ton of glacial acetic acid rose to 8000 yuan from more than 4000 yuan in the same period last year; each ton of liquid chlorine rose to 3000 yuan from 1000 yuan; each ton of methanol also rose to 2600 yuan, which is rare A large price increase has made some aminoacetic acid enterprises open and close However, due to the influence of the price rise of upstream petroleum products, the enterprises that produce aminoacetic acid by hydroxyacetonitrile method will not change greatly in a short period of time At present, aminoacetic acid enterprises in Shandong, Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu and other places are expanding their production capacity, and small enterprises of several thousand tons scale without brands are also increasing their production capacity According to reports, the real competitiveness of aminoacetic acid is not entirely in production capacity, but in product quality and how to improve food grade and pharmaceutical grade finishing At present, most of the domestic aminoacetic acid production enterprises stay at the level of industrial level, and have not obtained the certification of medicine, just "primary stage".
