    Affected by the epidemic, the titanium dioxide industry, which accounts for nearly 1/3 of the total export volume, has entered the era of low prices.
    With the post-epidemic period, how should titanium dioxide enterprises respond? Zhou Lei, secretary general of the Titanium Dioxide Branch of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center, accepts During the interview, the reporter pointed out that enterprises in the whole industry can only survive the difficulties smoothly by practicing their internal skills, doing a good job in the stability of products, and further improving the development of new products in the sub-sectors


    .


    The global COVID-19 pandemic has brought a huge impact on the global economy and politics.
    Although the epidemic has been brought under control in China, it is still spreading in Europe, especially the United States.
    It is not clear when the epidemic will be completely controlled


    .


    According to industry statistics, in the first quarter of this year, the output of titanium dioxide in the entire industry was about 770,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.
    8%


    .


    According to customs statistics, from January to March this year, the cumulative export volume of titanium dioxide was 331,276.
    2 tons, and the cumulative export price was 2,042.
    71 US dollars per ton.
    In March, China's titanium dioxide export volume was 157,171.
    88 tons, an increase of 60.
    25% year-on-year


    .


    Zhou Lei said that the real impact of the epidemic on the entire titanium dioxide industry began to emerge in late April


    .


    On April 17, the leading titanium dioxide enterprise Lomon Billy's Xiangyang base promoted the promotion.
    The 996 grade titanium dioxide was priced at 14,000 yuan per ton, which was 1,700 yuan relative to the normal price of 15,700 yuan


    .


    Zhou Lei pointed out that the titanium dioxide sub-center will guide the titanium dioxide industry technology innovation strategic alliance to help enterprises do three tasks together


    .


    The first is to actively communicate with titanium dioxide companies.
    On February 18, the European Union issued an official authorization regulation, according to the European Union Regulation (EC) No.
    1272/2008 on the Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP) of Substances and Mixtures , the regulations classify titanium dioxide as a Class 2 suspected carcinogen by inhalation


    .


    The second is to earnestly understand and actively strive to enjoy more policy dividends
    .
    Since the beginning of this year, governments at all levels have newly formulated and introduced many preferential policies to stimulate economic development, including periodic public consumption reductions and exemptions, tax deferrals, and financial support

    .
    At the same time, combined with the top and bottom, new support measures have been continuously proposed to the central government through local governments and industry organizations

    .

    The third is to help titanium dioxide enterprises to do a good job in the development of product applications, assist titanium dioxide enterprises to establish application laboratories, and provide technical support and on-site services
    .

    At the same time, the titanium dioxide sub-center recommends that the national titanium dioxide enterprises do relevant work well
    .
    On the one hand, while resuming work and production, enterprises should do a good job in standardized production and strengthen safety management in production to ensure the stability of product quality

    .

    On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the research and development of product applications, especially the docking with downstream coatings, plastics, inks and other industries
    .
    Understand the requirements of downstream industries for products, do relevant application experiments, and form complete application solutions

    .

    Zhou Lei said that in the face of the current severe market conditions, combined with the functional characteristics of titanium dioxide products and their positive correlation with social and economic development, titanium dioxide enterprises should have confidence in future development
    .
    All enterprises should formulate relevant countermeasures according to their own characteristics.
    The titanium dioxide sub-center will continue to provide various services for the industry according to its own positioning, and cooperate with titanium dioxide enterprises to overcome the difficulties and face the difficulties together.
    Create the future
