Nickel is one of the raw materials for the plating of products such as sink faucets and shower column set. 300 seri stainless steel dengan nikel sebagai bahan baku utama juga banyak digunakan dalam industri sanitasi. Kenaikan harga nikel diperkirakan akan berdampak tertentu pada perusahaan produksi.
Indonesia mempercepat larangan ekspor, harga nikel meroket
The Indonesian official finally confirmed that a ban on nickel ore exports will be imposed on January 1, 2020, dua tahun lebih cepat dari waktu yang diumumkan sebelumnya. If the ban is implemented in advance, Kapasitas produksi besi nikel yang ada di Indonesia tidak akan mampu mencerna produksi bijih nikel Indonesia, yang diperkirakan akan menyebabkan kekurangan sumber daya nikel global yang serius sebelumnya 2022. In the current global nickel market, there has been a narrow gap. Raise the price of nickel sharply.
In July of this year, rumor pelarangan ranjau di Indonesia sudah merajalela, driving nickel prices to rise sharply. Di antara mereka, kontrak utama nikel Shanghai naik 11.09% Dan 16.13% in July and August, masing -masing. The increase of LME nickel in July and August was 14.70% Dan 23.57% masing -masing.
Menurut Shanghai Futures Exchange, Tiongkok adalah konsumen nikel terbesar di dunia, dengan konsumsi 1.14 Juta ton di 2017, Akuntansi 53.4% dari total konsumsi global. Hal ini disebabkan oleh relatif langkanya sumber daya nikel di Tiongkok dan tingginya ketergantungan bahan baku terhadap bahan asing, dibutuhkan bijih nikel impor dalam jumlah besar.
Menurut data Administrasi Umum Kepabeanan, the total import volume of China’s nickel ore and concentrates in 2018 adalah 46,992,300 ton, of which Indonesia’s imports were 1,501,500 ton, dan Filipina’ imports were 30,082,000 ton, Akuntansi 31.96% Dan 63.86% masing -masing. Jika Indonesia menerapkan larangan ranjau, China will be seriously affected and manufacturers will face further pressure from rising costs.
Stainless steel faucet is the most affected
Industri dapur dan kamar mandi memiliki permintaan besar untuk nikel logam. The largest amount is stainless steel faucet. The GB/T 35763-2017 “Faucet stainless steel” 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 baja tahan karat sebagai bahan baku utama. 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.
Pada saat yang sama, Karena nikel memiliki resistensi korosi yang baik dan keuletan, 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. Karena itu, 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. Misalnya, a listed sanitary ware company has seen an increase in total nickel emissions in recent years. Di dalam 2017, total nickel emissions were 0.0231 ton, dan masuk 2018 it reached 0.0382 ton.
Selain itu, more and more companies have begun to produce stainless steel bathroom cabinets in recent years, dan stainless steel juga digunakan sebagai aksesoris di lemari kamar mandi tradisional. The increase in nickel prices will bring some cost pressure to these enterprises.
