Compared with the beginning: aniline or 75% increase in liquid alkali 56%, rubber antioxidant RD rose 55%, rubber accelerator DPG or 45%. What are up, is bound to increase production costs of rubber chemicals.
Third, rubber chemicals production plant stop production
In addition to safeguarding the basic livelihood of the masses and ensure production safety, involving air pollutant discharge enterprises should stop production. Which means that basically a lot of the physical industry (including rubber chemicals) to face cut-off, to the customer’s delivery must be delayed due to force majeure.
