Chlorinated Paraffin Industry Facing Industrial Adjustment

On October 10th, the reporter learned from the 2007 International Conference on Chlorinated Paraffins that the UN Environmental Protection Agency will hold a review meeting in Geneva in November 2007 to decide whether or not to include SCCPs in Persistent Organic Pollutants ( The list of persistent organic pollutants that are banned by the Stockholm Convention of the POPs (abbreviated as Convention, the same below). The results of the review will have an important impact on international chlorinated paraffin production companies and distributors, including China. Once SCCPs are listed in the POPs list at this meeting, the relevant industries will have to make industrial adjustments.

POPs are short for persistent organic pollutants. On May 23, 2001, the Stockholm Convention on POPs aimed at effectively reducing and eliminating the harmful effects of persistent organic pollutants on humans and the ecological environment was adopted by the Plenipotentiary Conference. At the time, Zhu Guangyao, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Administration of China, was entrusted by the State Council to sign the convention on behalf of the Chinese government as one of the first signatories. Relevant government agencies are very concerned about this short-chain chlorinated paraffin coming into the Convention review process. It is reported that for the review of this short-chain chlorinated paraffin, it is not ruled out that Other products will be included in the list.

According to experts, the domestic manufacturers involved will reach 80% of the entire industry. Zhang Guomin, vice president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association and secretary-general of the China Chlor-Alkali Industry Association, said that there are still some problems in the chlorinated paraffin industry. First, due to rising international crude oil prices, chlorinated paraffins have been used since 2006. The continuous increase in the price of raw materials has a greater impact on the cost of chlorinated paraffins; second, there are many manufacturers in the industry, the average size is small, and the average chlorinated paraffin production capacity is less than 10,000 tons; the third is the comparison between the chlorinated paraffin series and the special fine grades. Less, the development of products in many application areas should be further expanded; Fourth, there is still unjustified product market competition and trade protection behavior. To this end, related companies should improve their processes and strengthen their innovation capabilities.

Experts suggest that we must first strengthen the industry orientation and promote the healthy development of the industry; we must promote industrial technological progress and enhance the overall competitiveness of the industry; once again we must pay attention to adjust the product structure and broaden the application areas; Third, we must strive to improve the industry's environmental protection and safety standards Finally, we should also strengthen exchanges and cooperation among industry and international counterparts, and work together to make the industry develop in a healthy and healthy direction.
