Looking back on the price situation of white fused alumina in China for the whole year of 2019, we will find that although it has fluctuated up and down, it has been continuously rising on the whole year. What is the reason why its price keeps rising? Whether these reasons can be resolved in 2020 is an important point that determines whether their prices will continue to rise in 2020.
Affected by environmental factors in 2019, bauxite mining in Henan, Shanxi, Guizhou and other places is restricted. Although the price of bauxite has not risen significantly, it has directly affected the prices of brown fused alumina and white fused alumina. Besides, due to the continuous increase in alumina prices, the prices of brown fused alumina companies in 2019 are more cautious, and most of them hold a wait-and-see attitude.
According to the online product sales price index, white fused alumina and brown fused alumina increased by $ 20 / ton from the previous year. The main factors affecting the price of brown fused alumina and white fused alumina are two points: First, the environmental factors of the origin of brown fused alumina, raw material enterprises All require new environmental protection equipment. Raw material enterprises in Luoyang and other places have been operating for almost half a month, so the operating rate is low. Second, due to the influence of raw materials, the environmental protection of alumina processing enterprises in Xiaoyi area has officially started. At the same time, according to the previously published information, it can be seen that 128 local bauxite companies have been forced to cut off electricity production. The increase in bauxite prices and the shortage of raw materials directly affected the production of white fused alumina and brown fused alumina, and the price of white fused alumina abrasive cannot below.
White fused alumina is made of industrial alumina powder as a raw material in an arc after smelting at a high temperature of more than 2000 degrees and then cooled. It is then crushed and shaped, magnetically separated iron, sieved particle size, and other processes. The product has a dense texture and hardness It is high in appearance and its grains form sharp corners. It is suitable for the manufacture of ceramics, resin-consolidated abrasives, grinding, polishing, sandblasting, casting, and other fields in production. It can also be used to manufacture refractory materials. The price of white fused alumina is more expensive than that of brown fused alumina, so most of the products produced by domestic enterprises are exported, of course, a certain amount is supplied to domestic users.
Under the influence of the current market environment, many refractory companies and abrasive companies still need white fused alumina, so they all want to find a supplier with good quality and stable supply. The white fused alumina products of our company have various particle sizes, and can also be processed according to the particle size required by users. The price of white fused alumina is different due to the particle size and use.
