Temperature: Store VAE emulsion in a cool and stable temperature environment. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, both high and low, as this can affect the stability of the emulsion. Generally, a temperature range of 5°C to 30°C (41°F to 86°F) is recommended. 2.Avoid Freezing: Protect VAE emulsion from freezing temperatures. Freezing can lead to irreversible changes in the emulsion's structure, resulting in a loss of performance. If the emulsion has been exposed to freezing conditions, it is advisable to thoroughly mix and test it before use. 3.Containers: Store VAE emulsion in tightly sealed containers to prevent air exposure. This helps to avoid evaporation of water and maintains the stability of the emulsion. Ensure that containers are kept in an upright position to prevent leakage and contamination. 4.Ventilation: Store VAE emulsion in a well-ventilated area to prevent the buildup of heat and humidity. Adequate ventilation helps maintain the quality of the emulsion over time. 5.Protection from Sunlight: Shield VAE emulsion from direct sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can potentially degrade the polymer and impact the emulsion's performance. 6.Avoid Contamination: Prevent contamination by using clean equipment and tools when handling or transferring the emulsion. Contaminants can affect the properties of the emulsion. 7.Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect stored VAE emulsion for any signs of separation, coagulation, or other abnormalities. If any issues are identified, investigate the cause and take corrective action as needed. 8.First In, First Out (FIFO): Use a first-in, first-out system to ensure that older batches of VAE emulsion are used before newer ones. This helps prevent extended storage periods and maintains product freshness. 9.ElephChem's Recommendations: Always refer to the specific recommendations provided by the ElephChem for the storage and handling of the particular VAE copolymer emulsion you are using. Different formulations may have specific requirements.    

  • Polyvinyl butyral resin
    Polyvinyl butyral resin (PVB)

    General properties The coating film of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin has good water resistance, alkali resistance and oil resistance (resistant to aliphatic, mineral, animal and vegetable oils, but not grate oil). Because PVB contains high hydroxyl. It is a base and has good dispersion of pigments, so it is widely used in printing inks and coatings. In addition, its chemical structure. It also contains hydrophobic acetal groups and acetate groups as well as hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, so PVB is compatible with glass, metal, plastic, leather and wood all have good adhesion.   Product name: Polyvinyl butyral resin CAS:63148-65-2 The appearance of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin is white spherical porosity particles or powder, and its specific gravity is 1:1; but the filling density is only 0.20~0.35g/ml. Applications PVB is widely used in adhesive safety glass interlayers, rust primers, baking paints, wood paints, printing inks, electronic ceramics and printed circuit board adhesives, metal-to-metal, metal-to-plastic adhesives, hot-melt adhesive modifiers, textile iron-dimensional waterproof processing, etc. New applications in various industries are constantly being developed. Storage PVB should be stored in a dry and cool place and avoid direct sunlight, and PVB should be stored to avoid heavy pressure. As long as PVB is not in direct contact with water, it can be stored for two years without affecting its quality.

  • April 2026 Petroleum and Chemical Industry Prosperity Index
    April 2026 Petroleum and Chemical Industry Prosperity Index

    The data for April 2026 is in. The Petroleum and Chemical Industry Prosperity Index ticked up slightly by 0.57 percentage points month-on-month to 99.66. While the overall index suggests stability, a closer look beneath the surface reveals a highly fragmented landscape. The industry is currently navigating a structural adjustment period driven by sustained high crude prices. The traditional "rising and falling in tandem" pattern has shifted. Instead, we are seeing a highly differentiated market dictated by cost-transmission efficiency, pricing power, and inventory strategy: upstream sectors are contracting, midstream players are thriving on smooth cost pass-through, and downstream (Polyvinyl butyral) segments are aggressively destocking.   1. Overview of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry The overall index of 99.66 masks the starkly different realities across the supply chain: 📉 Upstream & Refining: Strategic Production Cuts Oil and Gas Extraction Index: Fell 5.33 percentage points to 91.22 Fuel Processing Index: Fell 2.03 percentage points to 104.18 With international crude hovering comfortably above 90 USD/barrel, upstream profit margins technically improved. However, end-user markets are pushing back against these high prices. To counter weak terminal demand, oil and gas extractors adopted a "control volume to protect price" strategy. Similarly, facing growing refined oil inventories, refineries dialed down their operating rates—shifting focus from chasing high-cost profits to mitigating risk. 📈 Midstream Chemicals: The Sweet Spot Chemical Raw Materials & Manufacturing Index: Surged 6.86 percentage points to 102.44 Midstream chemical manufacturers emerged as April’s big winners. Having depleted their cheaper raw material reserves, these enterprises successfully raised product prices while drawing down older inventory. Thanks to a relatively smooth price transmission mechanism, their profit margins widened significantly, sparking a sharp index recovery. ⚖️ Downstream Polymers: A Hard-Fought Rebound  Rubber, Plastics & Synthetic Polymers Index: Up 1.18 percentage points to 99.73 Sitting at the very end of the value chain, this segment faces fierce competition and rigid downstream resistance to price hikes. Unable to pass on high raw material costs, profit margins remained heavily squeezed. The mild recovery in this index was almost entirely driven by companies aggressively destocking ("volume over margin") to keep cash flowing.     2. The Macro View: PPI Reversals and PMI Signals To understand April's performance, we have to look back at the macroeconomic data from March: PPI Reversal: March PPI broke a grueling 41-month deflationary cycle, turning positive at +0.5% YoY (+1.0% MoM). This was heavily driven by the Oil & Gas Extraction PPI flipping to +5.2%. CPI Divergence: Meanwhile, March CPI slowed to +1.0% YoY (Core CPI at +1.1%). This divergence—skyrocketing upstream factory prices vs. cooling consumer prices—explains the exact bottleneck we saw in April. The massive cost shock from March's crude rally took 2 to 4 weeks to hit factory floors in April, leaving downstream players stranded between high production costs and weak consumer purchasing power. Additionally, April's Manufacturing PMI landed at 50.3%. While a 0.1% dip from March, it marks the second consecutive month in expansion territory, confirming that while aggregate demand is stable, the structural friction between high raw material costs and soft end-demand persists.   3. Geopolitical Headwinds & Oil Price Volatility Geopolitics in the Middle East remained the primary driver for crude pricing throughout April. After a brief retreat early in the month, prices surged again. By the week of April 26, Brent and WTI weekly averages jumped 10.65% and 9.73% respectively—the second-highest single-week gain since the conflict began. On April 29, WTI crude settled at 106.88 USD/barrel, while Brent closed at 118.03 USD/barrel. These elevated prices have permanently lifted the cost baseline for the entire chemical industry.   4. Outlook for the Petroleum and Chemical Industry As we move into May, the industry faces a transitional phase: The Oil Factor: Geopolitics will continue to dictate terms. If tensions persist, oil will remain sticky above 90 USD/barrel, prolonging the downstream margin squeeze. If things cool down, a price retreat will redistribute profits more evenly across the value chain. The Demand Factor: May marks the tail-end of the traditional peak season for chemicals. Demand from real estate, textiles, and home appliances is expected to experience a seasonal slowdown, meaning downstream buyers will likely slow their purchasing pace after April's restocking. The Bottom Line: We anticipate the Prosperity Index may experience a mild contraction in May, though the downside remains limited. Upstream and refining sectors will likely keep production tight, midstream chemical growth will be tested by slowing demand, and downstream polymer (such as Polyvinyl Alcohol) manufacturers will have to prove whether their "high-turnover, low-margin" strategy is sustainable.   Website: www.elephchem.com whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

  • Analysis of the Impact of the Middle East Conflict on Supply Chains
    Analysis of the Impact of the Middle East Conflict on Supply Chains

    In the first quarter of 2026, the US-Israel-Iraq war rapidly impacted the sustainability of global supply chains. Disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with damage to energy infrastructure, drove a significant increase in international oil prices and shipping costs, spreading globally along the "energy, logistics, raw materials, and manufacturing" chain, creating imported inflation and output contraction pressures.     China, as the world's largest manufacturing nation and energy importer, was directly impacted. On the one hand, supply contraction in the Middle East pushed up industrial product costs and squeezed corporate profits; on the other hand, shortages of petrochemical raw materials, unstable supply of key materials, and disruptions to logistics transit triggered production cuts and supply disruptions in industries such as chemicals and automobiles. Simultaneously, disruptions to Middle Eastern shipping and air transport hubs hampered trade and investment links between China and the Middle East. International oil prices continued their sharp rise, and domestic crude oil futures contracts also strengthened significantly. The United Nations and the international community strongly condemned the unilateral military actions of the US and Israel, urgently calling on all parties to immediately cease fire and return to diplomatic negotiations to prevent a complete deterioration of the situation. While OPEC+ is studying potential production increase plans, it is maintaining its existing production cuts. Short-term capacity increases are unlikely to compensate for the supply gap in Middle Eastern crude oil. Geopolitical risk premiums remain high, leading to significantly increased price volatility in the global energy and chemical sector.   Iran is a key node in the global energy commodity supply chain and a core source of my country's crude oil and energy raw materials imports. Its geopolitical position directly determines the global supply and demand balance and price trends of energy and related energy products. Its core strategic value is reflected in two dimensions: Globally: In 2025, Iran's crude oil production is projected at 3.3 million barrels per day, accounting for 3.3% of global production, and its seaborne exports account for 4% of global seaborne trade. In 2025, its LPG exports are projected at approximately 10 million tons, accounting for 7% of global LPG trade, making it the world's fourth-largest LPG exporter. Its natural gas production accounts for 6.4% of global production, making it the world's third-largest natural gas producer, after the United States and Russia. Simultaneously, the Middle East controls the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for 20%-25% of global crude oil seaborne trade, 30% of LPG trade, and 20% of LNG trade. Energy exports from Persian Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and Iraq rely on this waterway, and its safe passage directly impacts the stability of the global energy supply chain.   At the Chinese level: In 2024-2025, my country imported 1.38 million barrels of crude oil per day from Iran, accounting for 13.4% of total seaborne oil imports. Over 80% of Iran's crude oil exports flow to my country. Its LPG, iron ore, and copper ore continuously supply my country's chemical, steel, and non-ferrous metal industries. The methanol, MTO, and PX industries in South and East China are highly dependent on low-priced Iranian oil and gas feedstocks, directly influencing the cost center and price trends of related domestic products.   As a major supplier of polyethylene and other petrochemical products, the Middle East's export disruptions via the Strait of Hormuz have led to a tightening of global supply. At the same time, production stoppages and raw material shortages in Asia have also driven up prices throughout the plastics industry chain and Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM). This dynamic is driving demand for US-produced polyethylene. U.S. polyethylene producers are increasing their purchases of ethylene, a key feedstock, indicating that manufacturers are scrambling to seize export opportunities as global supply tightens.     Ethylene prices along the U.S. Gulf Coast are also rising as manufacturers stockpile raw materials. On Wednesday, at the Montpellier Bellevue hub in Texas, spot ethylene was trading at 30.25 cents per pound. This price rose further from about 27 cents on Monday, which had already reached a one-year high. The increase in ethylene prices, a core feedstock for the ethylene-based production process, has driven up prices for vinyl acetate, PVA, and other related products. Jiangsu ElephChem Holding Limited, with a 130,000-ton Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) production capacity using the calcium carbide-acetylene process, has ample feedstock supply and relatively stable prices, leading to a widening price spread. Overseas PVA production capacity is mainly based on the petroleum-based ethylene process, making it highly susceptible to ethylene supply and prices; however, China polyvinyl alcohol export demand is expected to increase.   Website: www.elephchem.com whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

  • The World's Most Severe Oil Supply Disruption Ever: Impacting Ethylene and Key Downstream Industry Supply Chains
    The World's Most Severe Oil Supply Disruption Ever: Impacting Ethylene and Key Downstream Industry Supply Chains

    On March 12, the International Energy Agency (IEA) stated in its latest monthly report that the global oil market is facing the most severe supply disruption in history due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. With shipping through the Strait of Hormuz nearly disrupted and storage facilities nearing capacity, Gulf states have been forced to cut oil production by at least 10 million barrels per day, and over 3 million barrels per day of refining capacity has been shut down.     Before the conflict, approximately 20 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products were transported through the Strait of Hormuz; now, this figure has plummeted to negligible levels. The report states that if shipping does not resume soon, the global crude oil supply gap will widen further. The report projects a reduction of 8 million barrels per day in global oil supply in March, with over 4 million barrels per day of refining capacity at risk. The diesel and jet fuel markets are particularly vulnerable due to blocked exports. The report also points out that insufficient available feedstock will restrict production in other regions, potentially leading to supply shortages as late as 2026. In 2025, Gulf producers exported 3.3 million barrels of refined petroleum products and 1.5 million barrels of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per day.   The report shows that while increased production in non-OPEC+ countries like Kazakhstan and Russia has eased supply tensions, this improvement is insufficient to fully offset the pressures facing the global market. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that global oil supply will increase by 1.1 million barrels per day in 2026. This growth is primarily driven by increased production from non-OPEC+ countries. However, it should be noted that the extent of the reduction in oil supply depends on the duration of the conflict and the degree of disruption to trade flows.   The report predicts that flight cancellations and LPG supply disruptions in the Middle East will reduce oil demand by 1 million barrels per day in March and April compared to previous forecasts. The military conflict in Iran and its surrounding regions has not only shaken the global energy market but has also significantly impacted the international ethylene industry and its entire supply chain. Its negative effects are spreading from upstream oil, along core intermediates such as ethylene and VAM (Vinyl Acetate Monomer), and further downstream to fine chemicals such as VAE emulsions. From Europe to Asia, soaring raw material costs and the risk of supply chain disruptions are causing widespread concern in the industry.   Global Ethylene Supply Chain Crisis Tensions in Iran are directly impacting the global ethylene supply chain. As the Middle East's second-largest ethylene producer, Iran has a capacity of approximately 7.88 million tons, accounting for 23% of the region's total. Disruptions to this scale of production directly push up the global cost center for chemical products. The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy shipping chokepoint, handles approximately 20% of global crude oil seaborne trade and a significant proportion of chemical shipments. With Iran's announcement of the strait's closure, concerns about logistical disruptions immediately translated into a market risk premium.   Approximately 11% to 15% of global ethylene and polyethylene supply is directly affected by this conflict, and related chemical prices have already begun to rise. In Europe, March ethylene monthly contract negotiations stalled due to soaring oil prices, with the initially expected increase of €35/ton quickly replaced by expectations of €50-60/ton, reflecting widespread market concerns about supply disruptions. Asian markets also reacted sharply, with naphtha prices surging to multi-month highs. Domestic polyolefin (PP/PE) futures prices in China followed suit, with the spot market shifting from routine restocking to defensive stockpiling.     Downstream supply chains are under pressure This crisis is rapidly spreading along the oil → ethylene → VAM → VAE supply chain. Due to extremely tight ethylene supply, VAM (vinyl acetate monomer) production is directly constrained by raw material shortages, and its market price is facing the risk of soaring. As the core downstream product of VAM, the supply chain stability of VAE (vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion) has been severely impacted. The industry generally expects that as VAM costs are passed on, VAE emulsion prices will inevitably rise. However, against the backdrop of widespread industry-wide operating restrictions and a significant reduction in expected VAE output due to insufficient VAM supply, JiangSu ElephChem Holding Limited is able to provide a stable supply of VAM and downstream VAE products.   Website: www.elephchem.com whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com
