How resource-based chlor-alkali enterprises can achieve long-term development in crisis

In the development process of the domestic chlor-alkali industry, many companies rely on regional resource advantages to develop and grow. On the other hand, a large part of the production patterns in the domestic chlor-alkali industry, which are based on the calcium carbide process route, are also due to the resources provided by the domestic coal and oil. For the chemical industry, especially the basic chemical raw material production industry like chlor-alkali chemical industry. The advantages of resources will often bring price advantages to the company's products, so as to make the products more advantageous in the domestic and foreign markets.
However, judging from the impact and impact of the global financial crisis on domestic chlor-alkali enterprises and even the entire chlor-alkali industry, it is difficult to guarantee the continued stability of production and operations based on the advantages of resources alone. The long-term low price of oil has also made the price advantage of calcium carbide polyvinyl chloride products become obsolete. According to the import and export data of PVC imported in February from the customs, due to the decline in cost advantages, apart from making domestic products Difficulties in exporting also open the door for international products to enter the domestic market. Enterprises that have developed with resource advantages face severe challenges.
In the face of the crisis, how should companies with resource-based advantages in China respond to the difficulties they face?
The resources that rely on the development of domestic chlor-alkali enterprises mainly include salt resources, water resources, coal resources, and power resources. Some enterprises in the western region of the country have developed by virtue of their local advantages in salt, water, coal, and electricity resources. These companies often have a common problem outside their low cost advantage. That is, the product structure, especially the chlorine consumption products, has a single structure and the product structure chain is not rich enough. This problem is often difficult to show at the stage of better market conditions. Once the market changes, caustic soda and PVC products lose their advantages, and the company immediately falls into a difficult position of production and operation. Therefore, if we can use rich natural resources, we can develop products that are diversified. Characteristic chlorine products and even alkali consumption products can enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.
In addition, the original resource-based chlor-alkali enterprises can rely on their resource advantages to develop a road that is closely integrated with petrochemicals and natural gas chemical industry, and cooperate with the construction of large-scale ethylene plants in the western region planned by China to build large-scale chlorinated bases with a global economic scale. In order to integrate into the tide of global economic integration, the quality and price of chlor-alkali products will be competitive in the international market. The development of natural gas acetylene and other process technologies will be researched and developed to diversify and enrich the raw materials for production and enhance the ability of the company to withstand market changes.
At the same time, increase the investment in R&D of new PVC products and develop products other than general-purpose PVC resins. At present, the domestic general-purpose PVC resin has already occupied a place in the international market, but the special material is not mature compared with the well-known foreign chlor-alkali chemical companies. Resource-based companies can increase the development of such products and increase their vitality and competitiveness.
To sum up, relying solely on the advantages of resources can not guarantee that companies are prosperous in all kinds of business environments, but with the diversified development of enterprise products and the improvement of the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises, the advantages of resources will also become enterprises. The future develops powerful wings.
