Nickel is one of the raw materials for the plating of products such as sink faucets and shower column set. 300 sorozatú rozsdamentes acélt, amelynek fő nyersanyaga a nikkel, a szaniteriparban is széles körben használják. A nikkel árának emelkedése várhatóan hatással lesz a termelő vállalatokra.
Indonézia felgyorsítja az exporttilalmat, a nikkel ára az egekbe szökik
The Indonesian official finally confirmed that a ban on nickel ore exports will be imposed on January 1, 2020, két évvel a korábban bejelentett időpont előtt. If the ban is implemented in advance, Indonézia meglévő nikkel-vas termelő kapacitása teljesen képtelen lesz megemészteni Indonézia nikkelérctermelését, ami várhatóan komoly hiányt fog okozni a globális nikkelforrásokban korábban 2022. In the current global nickel market, there has been a narrow gap. Raise the price of nickel sharply.
In July of this year, Az Indonéziára vonatkozó bányatilalomról szóló pletykák tomboltak, driving nickel prices to rise sharply. Köztük, a sanghaji nikkel főszerződése emelkedett 11.09% és 16.13% in July and August, illetőleg. The increase of LME nickel in July and August was 14.70% és 23.57% illetőleg.
A Shanghai Futures Exchange szerint, Kína a világ legnagyobb nikkelfogyasztója, fogyasztásával 1.14 millió tonna 2017, elszámolása 53.4% a teljes globális fogyasztásból. A viszonylag szűkös kínai nikkelforrások és a nyersanyagok idegen anyagoktól való nagymértékű függése miatt, nagy mennyiségű import nikkelérc szükséges.
A Vámügyi Főigazgatóság adatai szerint, the total import volume of China’s nickel ore and concentrates in 2018 volt 46,992,300 tonna, of which Indonesia’s imports were 1,501,500 tonna, és a Fülöp-szigeteken’ imports were 30,082,000 tonna, elszámolása 31.96% és 63.86% illetőleg. Ha Indonézia bevezeti az aknatilalmat, China will be seriously affected and manufacturers will face further pressure from rising costs.
Stainless steel faucet is the most affected
The kitchen and bathroom industry has a large demand for metallic nickel. The largest amount is stainless steel faucet. The GB/T 35763-2017 “rozsdamentes acél csaptelep” 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 stainless steel as the main raw material. 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.
Egy időben, because nickel has good corrosion resistance and ductility, 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. Ezért, 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. Például, a listed sanitary ware company has seen an increase in total nickel emissions in recent years. Ban ben 2017, total nickel emissions were 0.0231 tonna, és 2018 it reached 0.0382 tonna.
Ezen kívül, more and more companies have begun to produce stainless steel bathroom cabinets in recent years, and stainless steel is also used as accessories in traditional bathroom cabinets. The increase in nickel prices will bring some cost pressure to these enterprises.
