2014 blocked plasticizer industry

2014, for the plasticizer industry can be described as a poor start. Whether it is raw octanol, phthalic anhydride or mainstream plasticizer DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and terminal products, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and others are among the recession. DOP overall plant operating levels drop, resulting in octanol, phthalic anhydride and other raw product sales continued obstruction, the manufacturer inventory generally high, the basic line of the whole industry chain destocking phase in a continuous cycle longer than usual time. Although we rebounded slightly, but the fundamentals are still in supply and demand imbalance in the market difficult to better.
