The price of overseas silicon metal has plunged! What is metal silicon?

Most global commodities fell on September 20, and the VIX index, known as the "panic index," soared. Singapore iron ore futures fell sharply by more than 11%, hitting a new low since May 2020. Since setting a record high in May this year, the price of Singapore's iron ore futures has begun to plunge, and it has fallen about 60% from the high. It has become the commodity with the largest decline recently, and silicon metal has also fallen.   What is metal silicon? Metallic silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive for non-ferrous alloys. Metallic silicon is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component of silicon is about 98% (in recent years, 99.99% of Si is also contained in metallic silicon). The remaining impurities are iron and aluminum. , Calcium, etc. The main component silicon content is usually above 98.5%, below 99.99%, and the remaining impurities are iron, aluminum, calcium and so on.   "Metallic silicon" (also called industrial silicon) is a trade name that appeared in the mid-1960s. Its appearance is related to the rise of the semiconductor industry. The international common practice is to divide commercial silicon into metal silicon and semiconductor silicon. Metallic silicon is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component of silicon is about 98% (99.99% of Si is also contained in metallic silicon), and the remaining impurities are iron, aluminum, calcium, etc. . Semiconductor silicon is used to make high-purity metal silicon for semiconductor devices. It is sold in the form of polycrystalline and single crystal, the former is cheap and the latter is expensive. It is divided into a variety of specifications due to its different uses. According to statistics, the world's total consumption of metal silicon for aluminum alloys accounts for about 60% of metal silicon, less than 30% for organic silicon, about 3% for semiconductors, and the rest for iron and steel smelting and precision ceramics.   From a global perspective, the consumption of metallurgical silicon is more than that of chemical silicon. However, with the continuous development of science and technology, the use of chemical silicon in the production of organic silicon and semiconductors has been expanding, and it is widely used in the production of organic silicon. Silicon monomer and polymer silicone oil, silicone rubber, silicone resin building anti-corrosion, waterproofing agent, etc., they have unique properties such as high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, radiation resistance, and waterproofing. Used in electrical, aviation, machinery, chemical, pharmaceutical, national defense, construction and other sectors.

Hesheng Silicon Industry spends 7.6 billion yuan to expand production and construction of organic silicon and industrial silicon projects

Hesheng Silicon Industry (603260) announced two expansion plans, with a total of 7.615 billion yuan invested in the construction of industrial silicon and organic silicon projects, all of which are located in the Stone Industrial Park of Shanshan County, Xinjiang. Hesheng Silicon Industry is optimistic about the future demand for silicon raw materials. The company stated that in terms of organic silicon, in the long run, in addition to the continuous growth of demand for organic silicon raw materials in downstream traditional industries, energy-saving and environmental protection industries such as photovoltaics and new energy, construction of ultra-high voltage and ultra-high voltage power grids, smart wearable materials, 3D printing and The development of 5G and other emerging industries has provided new growth points for organic silicon, and the market demand for organic silicon will maintain a rapid growth trend. In terms of industrial silicon, with the rapid growth of photovoltaic installations in the next few years, the new polysilicon production capacity will be gradually released. The construction of the above-mentioned industrial silicon projects will prompt the company to promote the continuous expansion and strengthening of the industrial silicon industry, effectively guaranteeing the rapid future of industrial silicon downstream Increase the demand for stable supply of raw materials, ease the survival pressure of enterprises in downstream industries, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. Hesheng Silicon's business covers both organic silicon and industrial silicon. It is one of the companies with the most complete business chain and the largest production scale in the domestic silicon-based new materials industry.

Why did the price of silicone market climb to a 10-year peak?

According to relevant media news: The industry generally believes that the mismatch between supply and demand is the dominant factor. "From the supply side, in the context of policy tightening, the new production capacity of the main production areas of silicone is limited, resulting in a supply gap." The executive partner of Shanghai Minghuan Asset Management Center said that from the demand side, silicone is in my country has a very wide range of applications, and the consumption growth rate is obvious, which greatly supports the market demand for organic silicon. In the case of relatively insufficient supply, with the gradual increase in the demand for organic silicon, the price of organic silicon DMC is likely to rise but hardly fall.   Silicone is called "industrial monosodium glutamate", and mainly includes more than 8,000 downstream products in four categories: silicone rubber, silicone oil, silicone resin and silane coupling agent. Among them, the demand for silicone rubber and silicone oil accounted for 66% and 22% respectively. The main application area of silicone rubber is real estate and home furnishing, while the key application area of silicone oil is textile and clothing. Since the beginning of this year, as the global economy continues to recover, overseas demand has grown strongly, and downstream orders have increased significantly, which has driven the demand for organic silicon products.     Analyzing the market outlook, this year and the next two years will be a major year for new organic silicon production capacity, and the contradiction between supply and demand will be alleviated. According to Zhao Naidi, the domestic production capacity of organic silicon has reached 3.725 million tons per year. Because of the long production cycle of organosilicon monomers. Generally, it takes 2 to 3 years. Superimposed on the impact of the 2020 epidemic, the production cycle of some new organic silicon monomer production capacity has been delayed. It is expected that the domestic organic silicon monomer production capacity will increase significantly from 2021 to 2022.   At present, major manufacturers such as Hesheng Silicon (603260), Xin'an Stock (600596), Xingfa Group (600141) and Dongyue Silicon (300821), which are listed on China's A-share silicone listed companies, have all deployed and are expected to add 1.05 million tons of new production capacity this year.

Hurricane Ida caused the closure of the Dow factory, and chemical product prices will be affected

On August 29, Dow announced that it had safely closed its manufacturing operations in Louisiana. The Dow Chemical Plant on the U.S. Gulf Coast has developed a comprehensive and clear hurricane preparedness plan to minimize production interruptions while protecting the safety and health of employees, communities, and the environment.   At present, Hurricane Ida makes landfall near the Port of Fourchon, Louisiana, with a maximum sustained wind speed of 150 mph (241 km/h). It became a category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson storm level.It was not reduced to a Category 3 hurricane until the evening of the 29th local time.   The Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana are home to oil and gas exploration companies and petrochemical plants. According to the US Bureau of Security and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), as of the 29th local time, producers in the region have shut down approximately 96% of their oil and 94% of their natural gas production. There is a high probability that petrochemical plants along the coast will also be affected.   The impact of the hurricane on energy and chemical products has two paths: one is that the supply of crude oil and natural gas at the cost end will be affected, and the chemical industry will be supported by costs, and prices will rise; the other is that the hurricane will further affect the start of petrochemical plants in coastal areas and the supply of chemical products will be affected. Prices have risen.   In addition to Dow, Exxon Mobil, Shell, and BASF also cease production. Huntsman was on the sidelines last Friday, but said he would take preventive measures once the storm intensified.

Organic silicon shares strong higher!

Global Silicone Network News: On August 18, China's A-share silicone concept sector was active, with a gain of more than 6% as of the close. Among them, Chenhua (300610), Xin'an (600596), Dongyue Silicon (300821), and Hongbai New Material (605366) have strong daily limits. Hesheng Silicon (603260) rose 7.55% to 132.26 yuan, hitting the daily limit at one time, and closing the daily limit again at 8.20, to close at 148.03 yuan, and the current total market value is 159.08 billion yuan. In addition, Runhe Materials (300727) and Sibao Technology (300019) followed suit, with an increase of over 12%.   Overall, the market performance of the silicone sector this year is no less than that of the lithium battery industry chain. Looking at the price trend this year, compared with the low price in early February, the price of some silicone products has increased by more than 40%.     Looking ahead, considering that the 110,000-ton polysiloxane plant of Momentum in the United States is expected to be shut down by the end of 2021, the global supply of silicone production capacity will be tight. Superimposed on the peak consumer demand season in the third quarter, the silicone industry is expected to maintain a high degree of prosperity.    Specific to the A-share market, benefiting from the increase in organic silicon prices in the first half of the year, the performance of related leading companies hit a record high. As prices continue to rise, industry leaders are expected to benefit mainly.   Since August, as the raw material market continues to ferment, price increases have swept the entire silicone market. Following the price increase of raw materials such as titanium dioxide, a number of organic silicon companies followed suit and issued price increases. The price of organic silicon basic raw materials has almost "rised" continuously, and the increase has been even higher than that of each wave.
