It’s time for auxiliary companies to raise prices

Textile printing and dyeing auxiliary companies are miserable: on the one hand, printing and dyeing companies do not agree with the price increase of auxiliary factories, but on the other hand, auxiliaries
The price of raw materials for production has skyrocketed, with the general increase reaching 60-150%, and the maximum increase reaching 300%. The cost has risen sharply, except for a few special cases
High-profit products, most additives are no longer profitable. Illustration of when auxiliary companies must raise prices

The main raw materials of additives are surfactants, solvents, inorganic salts, etc.

So far, the raw materials for the production of these additives are still rising.

Due to cost pressure, which is related to the survival of auxiliary companies, it is time for auxiliary companies to increase prices. This move is really helpless.

The Zhejiang Textile Printing and Dyeing Auxiliaries Industry Association has a broad understanding of the prices of raw materials for auxiliary production in the market (prices on February 19, 2017), and 2016
Comparing the prices in July 2019, the prices of additive raw materials have generally risen sharply.

According to industry expert estimates, before August 2017, the price of raw materials for additive production was still on an upward trend.

The prices of the main raw materials for commonly used additives are as follows:

1. Surfactant:

Recently, due to the soaring prices of fatty acids and ethylene oxide, the raw materials for surfactants, the average selling price has exceeded the highest point in history, causing
The prices of finished surfactants have increased significantly. Examples of price increases for commonly used surfactants are as follows:

AEO-9: Rising from 8.50 yuan to 18.50 yuan per KG

AEO-3: increased from 10.50 yuan to 19.80 yuan per KG

TX-10: increased from 8.00 yuan to 17.50 yuan per KG

6501: Rise from 7.80 yuan per KG to 16.00 yuan

Isotridecyl polyoxyethylene ether 1305 rose from 14.70 yuan to 19.50 yuan per KG

High-temperature leveling agent raw material A: increased from 12.50 yuan to 15.80 yuan per KG

High-temperature leveling agent raw material B: increased from 13.40 yuan to 16.50 yuan per KG

2. Common raw materials for color-fixing agents: diallylamine has increased from 35.00 yuan per KG to 70.00 yuan per KG.

3. Common raw materials for softener (silicone oil) production:

D4: Rising from 13.50 yuan to 22.00 yuan per KG

DMC: increased from 12.00 yuan to 20.00 yuan per KG

4. Solvent: isopropyl alcohol: increased from 4.80 yuan to 9.50 yuan per KG

Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether: increased from 7.00 yuan to 12.00 yuan per KG

Neopentyl glycol: increased from 6.00 yuan to 13.90 yuan per KG

5. Polyurethane additive raw materials: TDI (toluene diisocyanate) increased from 10.00 yuan per KG to 40.00 yuan

The above are just the price increases of some commonly used typical raw materials. The actual situation in the market is that the prices of all raw materials used in the production of additives are different
rising to a certain extent.

We believe: Historically, dye price increases have been normal, while auxiliaries have rarely increased in price. As competition becomes more and more intense, the profits of printing and dyeing auxiliary companies have also decreased
Gradually reaching the critical point. This round of sharp price increases for chemical raw materials has put auxiliary companies facing a test of survival. As a company, we must first talk about survival
Let’s talk about development again. Due to cost pressure, it is imperative for auxiliary manufacturers to increase sales prices.

The service target of the auxiliary factory is the printing and dyeing factory. Although the processing fees of the printing and dyeing factory have increased, the printing and dyeing factory also faces dyes, water, electricity, and labor
The pressure of rising costs will make life difficult.

It is hoped that auxiliary factories and printing and dyeing factories will negotiate on auxiliary prices, appropriately increase auxiliary prices, and jointly face and bear the pressure caused by the market,
So that both the auxiliaries factory and the printing and dyeing factory can develop healthily, develop together and develop harmoniously.
