Nickel is one of the raw materials for the plating of products such as sink faucets and shower column set. 300 serija nehrđajućeg čelika s niklom kao glavnom sirovinom također se široko koristi u sanitarnoj industriji. Očekuje se da će rast cijena nikla imati određeni utjecaj na proizvodna poduzeća.
Indonezija ubrzava zabranu izvoza, cijene nikla vrtoglavo rastu
The Indonesian official finally confirmed that a ban on nickel ore exports will be imposed on January 1, 2020, dvije godine prije najavljenog vremena. If the ban is implemented in advance, Postojeći indonezijski kapaciteti za proizvodnju nikla i željeza neće biti u potpunosti u stanju probaviti indonezijsku proizvodnju rude nikla, za koji se očekuje da će izazvati ozbiljan nedostatak globalnih resursa nikla prije 2022. In the current global nickel market, there has been a narrow gap. Raise the price of nickel sharply.
In July of this year, glasine o zabrani mina u Indoneziji bile su raširene, driving nickel prices to rise sharply. Među njima, glavni ugovor Shanghai nikla porastao je za 11.09% i 16.13% in July and August, odnosno. The increase of LME nickel in July and August was 14.70% i 23.57% odnosno.
Prema Shanghai Futures Exchange, Kina je najveći svjetski potrošač nikla, uz potrošnju od 1.14 milijuna tona u 2017, računovodstvo za 53.4% ukupne globalne potrošnje. Zbog relativno oskudnih resursa nikla u Kini i velike ovisnosti sirovina o stranim materijalima, potrebna je velika količina uvezene rude nikla.
Prema podacima Glavne uprave carina, the total import volume of China’s nickel ore and concentrates in 2018 bio je 46,992,300 tona, of which Indonesia’s imports were 1,501,500 tona, i Filipini’ imports were 30,082,000 tona, računovodstvo za 31.96% i 63.86% odnosno. Ako Indonezija provede zabranu mina, China will be seriously affected and manufacturers will face further pressure from rising costs.
Stainless steel faucet is the most affected
Industrija kuhinje i kupaonice ima veliku potražnju metalik nikla. The largest amount is stainless steel faucet. The GB/T 35763-2017 “stainless steel faucet” national standard implemented in July 2018, the units involved in the drafting include JOMOO, Huayi, Primy and other well-known companies. On the e-commerce platform, multiple brands of stainless steel faucets are also available.
It is understood that the stainless steel faucet mainly uses 304 nehrđajući čelik kao glavna sirovina. The nickel content of 0.304 stainless steel is 8%-11%. The price of nickel will rise, and the price of stainless steel will rise simultaneously, pulling up the price of related finished products.
Istovremeno, jer nikl ima dobru otpornost na koroziju i duktilnost, it is often used in the plating surface of bathroom hardware to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The nickel layer of some high-end products can be as thick as tens of microns. Stoga, some sanitary ware companies that use faucets and showers as their main products often mention nickel in the column of pollutant emissions in their annual reports. Na primjer, a listed sanitary ware company has seen an increase in total nickel emissions in recent years. U 2017, total nickel emissions were 0.0231 tona, i u 2018 it reached 0.0382 tona.
U Dodatku, more and more companies have begun to produce stainless steel bathroom cabinets in recent years, a nehrđajući čelik se koristi i kao dodatak u tradicionalnim ormarima za kupaonice. The increase in nickel prices will bring some cost pressure to these enterprises.
