VIGA Faucet Fabrikant 
Nickel is one of the raw materials for the plating of products such as sink faucets and shower column set. 300 Serie STAINLESS Stol mat Néckel als Haapt Matière première ass och vill an der sanitär Industrie benotzt. D'Erhéijung vun den Néckelpräisser gëtt erwaart e gewëssen Impakt op d'Produktiounsfirmen ze hunn.
Indonesien beschleunegt den Exportverbuet, Néckelpräisser klammen
The Indonesian official finally confirmed that a ban on nickel ore exports will be imposed on January 1, 2020, zwee Joer virun der virdru bekannter Zäit. If the ban is implemented in advance, Déi existent Néckel-Eisen Produktiounskapazitéit vun Indonesien wäert komplett onfäheg sinn d'Indonesien Néckelerzproduktioun ze verdauen, déi erwaart gëtt e schlëmmen Mangel u globale Néckel Ressourcen virun 2022. In the current global nickel market, there has been a narrow gap. Raise the price of nickel sharply.
In July of this year, Rumeuren iwwer d'Mineverbuet op Indonesien sinn ongewéinlech, driving nickel prices to rise sharply. Ënnert hinnen, den Haaptkontrakt vun Shanghai Néckel opgestan vun 11.09% an 16.13% in July and August, respektiv. The increase of LME nickel in July and August was 14.70% an 23.57% respektiv.
Laut der Shanghai Futures Exchange, China ass de weltgréisste Konsument vun Néckel, mat Konsum vun 1.14 Milliounen Tonnen an 2017, Comptabilitéit fir 53.4% vum Gesamtverbrauch weltwäit. Wéinst der relativ knapper Néckel Ressourcen a China an der héich Ofhängegkeet vun Matière première op auslännesch Materialien, eng grouss Quantitéit vun importéiert Néckel Äerz ass néideg.
No den Donnéeën vun der General Administration vun Douane, the total import volume of China’s nickel ore and concentrates in 2018 was 46,992,300 tonnen, of which Indonesia’s imports were 1,501,500 tonnen, an de Philippinen’ imports were 30,082,000 tonnen, Comptabilitéit fir 31.96% an 63.86% respektiv. Wann Indonesien méngem Verbuet ëmsetzen, China will be seriously affected and manufacturers will face further pressure from rising costs.
Stainless steel faucet is the most affected
D'Kichen- a Buedzëmmerindustrie huet eng grouss Nofro fir metallesche Néckel. 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 Edelstol als Haapt Rohmaterial. 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.
Gläichzäiteg, well Nickel gutt Korrosiounsbeständegkeet an Duktilitéit huet, 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. Dofir, 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. Zum Beispill, a listed sanitary ware company has seen an increase in total nickel emissions in recent years. An 2017, total nickel emissions were 0.0231 tonnen, an an der 2018 it reached 0.0382 tonnen.
Zousätzlech, more and more companies have begun to produce stainless steel bathroom cabinets in recent years, an STAINLESS Stol gëtt och als Accessoiren an traditionell Buedzëmmer cabinets benotzt. The increase in nickel prices will bring some cost pressure to these enterprises.
