    Global Coatings Network News:

    "Countless masks are coming to us!"-In the midnight of March 6, in the live video broadcast of the meltblown cloth production line of the central enterprise where millions of netizens acted as "cloud supervisors", some netizens sighed.










    Open up the mask industry chain 48 hours and 12 days in advance









    Meltblown cloth is the filter layer in the middle of medical masks.
    It has good filterability, barrier properties, heat preservation and adsorption.
    It is described as the "heart" of masks and is one of the important raw materials for the production of medical masks.
    Hengtian Jiahua Nonwovens Co.
    , Ltd.
    ("Hengtian Jiahua"), a subsidiary of the SINOMACH Group, which is the holding company of Hengtian Group, resumed work on January 26 (the second day of the Lunar New Year) and rapidly integrated 5 international advanced spunmelt production lines.
    Change production and capacity expansion, produce filter layers for masks and inner and outer non-woven fabrics, and rapidly expand the mask production line.
    The current production capacity has reached 1.
    1 million pieces per day.

    Starting from February 20th, Hengtian Jiahua will urgently switch to meltblown filter materials regardless of capacity loss.
    At present, it can produce about 21 tons of meltblown filter paper with BFE95 and above performance per day, and it can produce about 21 million medical masks, ranking the forefront in China.
    From early February to March 6, the cumulative production of melt blown cloth was 609.
    1 tons.



    And Sinopec, which was originally "unrelated" to the direct raw materials of masks, has also joined the ranks of melt blown cloth production.
    As the largest supplier of medical and health raw materials in China, Sinopec is the most upstream producer of polypropylene raw materials in the mask industry chain.
    In order to ensure the stable price of midstream meltblown cloth and the supply of downstream mask products, Sinopec has followed the rapid production increase requirements of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
    , Decided to fully intervene in the production of meltblown materials, meltblown cloths and masks to open up the entire industrial chain of mask production.



    On February 24, Sinopec and Sinomach Hengtian Group quickly cooperated to build 10 meltblown non-woven fabric production lines, and arranged for Sinopec’s Yanshan Petrochemical Company to build a meltblown nonwoven fabric with an annual design capacity of 14,400 tons within half a month.
    Spinning production.



    Half a month! This is the construction speed of Vulcan Mountain.
    Under normal circumstances, it will take about half a year to complete the construction of a 10,000-ton melt blown cloth production plant.

    Upon hearing the order, Yanshan Petrochemical established a leading group overnight and set up 6 professional groups to organize, direct and coordinate the construction and production preparation of melt blown cloth.
    A temporary party branch was quickly formed on the construction site, and four party member commandos rushed to the forefront.



    On February 29, the main plant equipment foundation pouring was completed, and the project construction was transferred to the equipment installation stage.
    In the plant of complete equipment, there are pipeline operations underground, civil construction operations on the ground, large-scale equipment installation on the platform, cross-block hoisting in the air, and anti-corrosion and interior decoration work on the truss.
    .
    .
    600 people participating in the construction took turns to take turns.
    The progress is under full control, and the amount of work from 3 to 5 days under normal circumstances is completed in one day.



    On March 1, 4 fans were in place;



    On March 2, the lifting platform was in place;



    On March 3, the core equipment of the production line melt nozzle was successfully installed;



    On the evening of March 4, the last truck of large equipment was delivered to the site, and the post-processing system was installed overnight;



    In the early morning of March 5, the equipment installation of the melt blown cloth project was completed;



    In the middle of the night on March 6, after 40 hours of process debugging and equipment intermodal transportation, the melt blown cloth production process flow was completely opened up, 48 hours ahead of schedule!



    According to Yanshan Petrochemical's design capacity, it can produce 4 tons of N95 melt blown cloth or 6 tons of medical flat mask melt blown cloth per day, meeting the production and supply of 1.
    2 million N95 masks or 6 million medical flat masks.
    This precious 48 hours means that 12 million more medical flat masks can be produced.

    "In this battle against the epidemic, masks and shields are needed for the front'war'.
    We must pay close attention to the production of materials in the rear to ensure the needs of the front.
    " A spokesperson for Sinopec said.

    Increasing supply and demand docking medical mask production capacity continues to expand




    A meltblown cloth production plant was built in 12 days-this is after the completion of the Huoshenshan Hospital in 10 days, the realization of 40,000 sets of Nissan medical protective clothing in 9 days, and the 2.
    6 times increase in the production capacity of central enterprises’ medical masks in 8 days.
    The Party Central Committee and the people of the whole country once again surrendered an answer sheet for the war "epidemic".



    Faced with tasks that are almost impossible to complete, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission promptly promoted relevant central enterprises to urgently organize related production capacity conversion and expansion, so as to speed up production at full capacity.



    With the efforts of all parties, the production capacity of various types of masks in my country has continued to expand, and the situation of "hard to find a mask" has been eased to a certain extent.
    On February 29, the national daily output of masks, including ordinary masks, medical masks, and medical N95 masks, reached 116 million, which was 12 times that of February 1, further alleviating the contradiction between supply and demand for masks.



    Among them, the central enterprises contributed about 3.
    5 million daily output of medical masks alone.
    SINOMACH, Sinopec, China National Petroleum Corporation, Ordnance Industry Corporation, Xinxing Jihua Group, COFCO, Ordnance Equipment Group.
    .
    .
    Large central enterprises urgently deployed production lines for medical masks, exerted efforts to supply medical supplies, and made irreplaceable contributions to the fight against the epidemic.

    The market is most sensitive to changes in supply and demand.
    Analysts believe that the recent high prices of medical mask raw materials meltblown cloth reflect the strong market demand.
    There are also hoarding caused by manufacturers and middlemen's expectation that the production capacity of masks will increase rapidly.



    At the same time, the huge investment in the melt blown cloth production line, high technical content, complex equipment installation, high requirements for the plant, and the need for specialized skilled workers are important factors restricting the expansion of melt blown cloth production capacity.
    However, there are few suppliers of meltblown cloth production equipment and parts, and there are phenomena such as asymmetry of regional supply and demand information and poor supply and demand docking.



    In order to strengthen the solution to the problem of mismatch between supply and demand of meltblown cloths, masks and other materials, as well as information asymmetry, under the guidance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission News Center, the "Enterprise Resumption and Production Supply and Demand Docking Platform" The State Council client applet was launched.
    Platform data shows that since the launch of half a month, the supply and demand information of mask machines and melt blown cloth related materials has been released the highest: mask machine related information accounted for 35.
    5%, and melt blown cloth related information accounted for 23.
    7%.
