PVC makers'' worries loom
　　　by Liu Fangbin
　　http://www.sinocheminfo.com/topnews/w200310241006.htm

The sound PVC production and sales situation led by the anti-dumping campaign is igniting a new wave of investment in capacity expansion.

Based on the 2002 import statistics, the PVC anti-dumping move is expected to cause a decline in imports by around 500,000t/a. It is estimated that domestic PVC capacity will outnumber 8mt by 2005, accounting for one-third of the global new capacity.

The carbide process is largely applied in the domestic PVC production, which makes up 53.4% of the total capacity, and the percentage is still expanding.

PVCの新増設計画に障害

2004年07月15日 Chemnet Tokyo
中国の設備投資規制、「PVCの新増設計画」に障害

　中国では経済の成長に伴い、PVCの需要が年々増大している。これを受け、最近の集計では計画又は検討されている05年から08年の間の能力増は700万トンに達する。しかしながら、ここにきて、これらの新増設計画に障害が出てきた。

　第1は国家発展改革委員会(NDRC)による規制で、NDRCは既報の通り、経済の過熱化を押さえるため、石油化学、繊維、鉄鋼、アルミ、建材、機械、医薬その他の産業で小規模設備の新設規制の通牒を出した。

　塩ビ関連ではEDCベースPVCでは年産20万トン未満、アセチレン法PVCでは年産8万トン未満、クロルアルカリについても年産10万トン未満の設備の新設は認めないこととなった。(2004年5月19日付CNTニュース＝海外コーナー参照)

　東ソーは、広州市南沙経済開発区で「東曹(広州)化工有限公司」のPVC年産11万トンのプロジェクト申請を行った。これは本通牒の対象(20万トン未満)となる唯一の海外からの投資だが、現地からの情報ではまだ認可が下りていない。

　他の多くのメーカーは今のところ、この通牒がどのように適用されるのか様子待ちの状況だが、山東恒通化学のように、既に年産4万トンのアセチレン法PVCを稼動済みだが、この通牒が既存プラントにまで適用されるのを恐れて10万トンへの増設を急ぐ企業も出てきた。
　
　場合によっては、以前の日本の30万トンエチレンのように、過熱化を押さえるための政策が逆に過熱化を促進する可能性もあるとの見方もある。

　第2は電力不足で、特に南部及び東部で電力不足が深刻な状況だが、北京など北部にも広がってきた。経済の急速な発展で電力需要がこの10年間で2倍以上となったのに対して、供給がついていかないためで、産業界にも電力制限の影響が出てきた。6月には産業向けの電力料金が平均で約6%アップした。
　
　塩ビの場合はプラント自体の停電停止の可能性に加え、原料のアセチレンや塩素をつくるカーバイドプラントや電解プラントが電力不足で減産を強いられ供給不足となり、また電力料金アップの影響も受けることとなる。黒龍江省のある企業は、アセチレンの調達が難しいとしてPVC新設を再検討していると報道されている。今後輸入VCMへの切り替えが増えるとVCM価格のアップのおそれがある。

　電力不足は短期間に解消する見込みはなく、この問題はPVCプラントの新増設に影響を与えることとなる。中国経済の急速な発展の矛盾がいろいろなところに出てきた形で、今後の動向に注意が必要である。　（この項上海発＝CNT特約）

中国・福建省で45万トンのPVC計画承認

(上海発=特約)
　福建省の福建東南電化(Southeast Electro-Chemical Corp:略称 SECC) は福建省泉州市の泉港石化パークでの45万トンPVC計画について政府の承認を得た。計画には16万トンの苛性ソーダを含み、総投資額は453百万ドル。原料エチレンの一部ははこのほど同じ立地で工事を開始したExxonMobil/Saudi Aramco/Sinopec JVの80万トンコンプレックスから供給を受け る。本年末までに建設を開始したい意向だが、提携相手との交渉によって変わる可能性がある。

　同社は本計画について韓国のLG化学と協議している。

　LG化学は2002年、天津のPVC用及び増設PVC用として豪州グラッドストーンでEDC(30万トン)を生産する計画を発表している。同社は中国でのPVC増設は外資とのJVのエチレン80万トン計画のある福建省泉州市を考え、SECCと協議していた。その後豪州計画は2003年夏に採算性の理由から中止となったが、LGは福建省でのEDCからの一貫生産も候補として検討を続けてきた。

　昨年10月、LG化学は天津での電解〜VCM計画を発表した。PVCの提携相手の大沽化工とその親会社渤海化学とともに 天津 LG 渤海化学を設立し、電解(ソーダ:24万トン、塩素:21万 6000トン)、EDC(30万トン)、VCM(35万トン)を建設する。PVCの天津のJV・天津LG大沽化学の能力は34万トンのため、VCMと PVCの能力はほぼ見合い、現時点では中国でのPVC増設は明らかにしていない。

　天津での一貫体制確立が決まった現在、LGが本計画にも参加するかどうかは明らかではないが、SECCとLGの50/50JVになろうとの報道もある。SCEEでは投資額が大きいため、他の投資家の出資も希望している模様。


　福建東南電化はクロルアルカリメーカーで、苛性ソーダ(能力100千トン)、PVC(能力45千トン)、液塩、次亜塩素酸カルシウム、さらし粉 、塩酸などを生産している。

China's carbide-based PVC remains competitive: Tangshan Sanyou

China's carbide-based polyvinyl chloride remained competitive compared with ethylene-based PVC despite rising coal and power costs, said Antares Wang Gang, General Manager of Tangshan Sanyou International Industry, Thursday. 唐山三友化工

In 2006, the production cost of carbide-based PVC was estimated at Yuan 5,063/mt, while for ethylene-based PVC it was Yuan 7,487/mt. Supplies of coal, a feedstock for carbide-based PVC, were sufficient but it was difficult to secure ethylene due to logistics, Wang Gang said.

As of March 2007, production cost of carbide-based PVC had risen to Yuan 5,500/mt with sales prices around Yuan 6,600/mt, meanwhile the production cost of ethylene-based PVC had fallen to Yuan 6,400/mt, compared with selling price of Yuan 7,000/mt. In addition to be cheaper, carbide-based PVC was much simpler to produce than ethylene-based PVC, he said.

Cangzhou Chemical Ceases Operation

    Cangzhou Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd.滄州化工 announced on August 13th that it has ceased manufacturing operations of the 290 000 t/a PVC resin unit and all other units.
    On June 22nd 2007, the company said production of its 60 000 t/a PVC resin unit had to be suspended due to some factors of environment protection and safety. If the 60 000 t/a PVC unit did not get the appraisal of experts, the company would have to cease manufacturing operations of its all units.
   The company is a PVC producer. The 290 000 t/a PVC resin unit uses EDC as raw material and the 60 000 t/a PVC unit adopts calcium carbide process.
   The latest news is that Cangzhou Chemical's two senior managers have been arrested.

2007/8/25 Asia Chemical Weekly

Cangzhou Chemical has 60,000 t/a carbide process and 230,000 t/a EDC process PVC with total capacity of 290,000 t/a.  
In 2006, the company stoped production of 230,000 t/a EDC process PVC unit as the shortage of capitals, which is caused by the launch of a 400,000 t/a PVC project.  
For the financing of 400,000 t/a PVC project, Cangzhou Chemical made the inter-credit with other two listed companies without the information disclosure between 2004 to 2006. This move was punished by Shanghai Securities Exchange.  
The arrest of two senior managers is also related to the inter-credit issue. Cangzhou Chemical has exit from the 400,000 PVC project.

inter-credit
金融債権者相互間での受け入れ担保の調整（譲り合い）や回収金の分配といった事項を債権者間契約（inter-credit agreement) として、債権者に債務者を加えた当事者間で合意し、新規融資を優遇する手法

1) Is Mitsui & Co. still shareholder of Cangjing Chemical Industry ?
    If so, there might not be any financial problems.
    Do you know when and why Mitsui retired from this JV ?

In Jul., 2000, Cangzhou Chemical and Mitsui made an agreement that change the profits distribution to 90:10 from the orginal 75:25. But there is not any information shows Mitsui has exit from the jv.  Finalical data shows the PVC sector was losed in 2005 and 2006. Financial problem is possibe as Cangzhou Chemical faced billions capital shortage and Cangjing is just a separated jv company.  

2) Was 60,000 t/a carbide process plant originally owned by Cangzhou Chemical Industry, being separated from JV ?  

　The carbide process plant is separeted from jv.
 
3) What was the punishment by Shanghai Securities Exchange ?
    Did they prohibit  inter-credit transaction ?

　　Inter-credit Guarantee without information disclosure is prohibited.  

4) I am not familiar with inter-credit transaction,
    Is it such a serious crime if it was done without disclosure, so that two managers were arrested?

The company made Inter-credit Guarantee without information disclosure, and one of the partner companies has went to bankruptcy. So, Cangzhou Chemical has to be going into bankruptcy as the break-off of capital chain.  

5) I understand that punishment by Exchange lead to abolishment of new plan.
    But why did it lead to operation stop of 230,000t/a plant ?

 High price of feedstock and shortage of capitals.

19 May 2003 ACN

Cangzhou Chemicals Industry (Group) is holding discussions with potential investors for its VCM-PVC project in Cangzhou, Hebei, China, a company source said.

However, the talks have not progressed much because of the outbreak of Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome).

ACN understands that Mitsui & Co is one of the potential investors.

Mitsui already produces 233 000 tonne/year of VCM and 240000 tonne/year of PVC through Cangjing Chemical Industry Co, a joint venture with Cangzhou Chemicals.

Mitsui owns 25% of the joint venture, and Cangzhou the rest.

The proposed plant would produce 400 000 tonne/ year each of VCM and PVC based on imported feedstocks (ACN 25 Feb 2002, p20). Both units are likely to use EVC's technology.

A source close to the project said it would start up in a single phase, instead of two as earlier understood, possibly in H2 2005.

Cangzhou Chemicals plans to form a new firm to run the project, which has not been approved by the government yet.
