What's The Reason For Polypropylene PP Soared Nearly 30% In Half A Month?

Recently, it has been screened by polypropylene. At the end of March, the futures contract price of polypropylene rose from 5638 yuan per ton to 7297 yuan per ton in just 10 trading days, up 29.4%, while the spot price soared from 5900 yuan per ton to 8000 yuan per ton in just 2 days from April 10 to 12,

The growth rate reached 34.9%, so why did polypropylene soar in just a few days? Maybe many people don't know what polypropylene is for, so let's talk about it from the function of polypropylene.

What is polypropylene?

Polypropylene: the English name is polypropylene, abbreviated as PP, which is a colorless, odorless, nontoxic and translucent solid substance. It is a polymer formed by the polymerization of propylene. The molecular formula is - [CH2CH (CH3)] n -. Polypropylene is widely used in the production of fiber products such as clothing, blankets, medical devices, automobiles, bicycles, parts, transportation pipelines, chemical containers, etc., as well as food and drug packaging.

From the point of view of mask material, PP high melt finger non-woven fabric special material is the best choice to produce PP products with a melt mass flow rate of 33-41g / min, which meets the standard of sanitary material PP non-woven fabric.

The non-woven fabric made of polypropylene non-woven fabric can be used in disposable surgical clothes, sheets, masks, covers, liquid absorption pads and other medical and health products. Among them, the non-woven fabric mask is made of two layers of fiber-optic non-woven fabric, which is used for medical and health care. In the middle, a layer of filter and anti bacteria cloth with more than 99.999% of the filter and spray cloth is welded by ultrasonic.

In short, polypropylene is the raw material for protective articles. After the rapid spread of the overseas epidemic at the end of March, the demand for protective articles increased sharply, which is the main reason for the surge of polypropylene. Of course, it has nothing to do with market speculation. It is obvious that this wave of increase is unsustainable, and it is likely that after the outbreak, "chicken feathers everywhere". In addition, the fluctuation of polypropylene in the near future increases, so friends who trade polypropylene must pay attention to the risks.
