Chemical Companies Quietly Retire as the Olympics are Coming

BEIJING, July 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Engaging in concept of
environmental protection for the "Green Olympics," the chemical industry is
quietly retiring under the vision of the people, since the official opening of
the Beijing Olympic Games is in less than 20 days.

The polyurethane industry ( http://www.tootoo.com/w-Chemicals/ ) is
heavily impacted. As the embargo and the cut-off orders are issued in various
cities, companies that produce basic raw materials for polyurethane, foam,
flexible materials, adhesives and other production have already suspended
production in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region. TDI is the main raw
materials for polyurethane, although its producers, including ST Canghua
Group,
have not stopped yielding it and the maintenance program is just routine.
According to Tootoo.com network marketing analysis, these materials are
experiencing problems in transportation, as there are severe restrictions on
the transport of dangerous goods in the six associated Olympic cities
including Beijing. Consequently, TDI ( http://www.tootoo.com/buy-TDI/ ) can
not be normally exported, resulting in the shutdown of some difficult to reach
places, and the suspension of some trade businesses.
In addition, the main products liquid chlorine and caustic soda in the
chlor-alkali industry are also considered dangerous goods, and cannot be
stocked in large quantities. Transportation of dangerous goods has also been
restricted around Beijing during the Olympic Games. This has all caused a
great impact on the chlor-alkali enterprises. Some propylene oxide enterprises
in Tianjin and Hebei Province ( http://news.tootoo.com/Chemicals/ ) will limit
production of raw materials for a short period of time, and some propylene
oxide producers in Shandong will reduce the operating rate.
Officials from Jiangsu Tianyin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
(http://www.tootoo.com/d-c12622321-Jiangsu_Tianyin_Chemical_Industry_Co_Ltd_/
)
told interviewers from Tootoo.com that companies cannot maintain the supplies
of certain chemical products, especially dangerous chemicals such as
isocyanates and acrylic monomers, for Beijing, Tianjin, and other Olympic
cities. Therefore, clients in these cities have to stock up in advance;
otherwise they would stop producing. Also declaration for imports of chemicals
has ceased, and many enterprises' production schemes have been pushed back.
However, due to the special nature of the Olympic Games, the accumulated
demand and orders during the Olympic Games, chemical companies are expected to
receive a boost after the game, and it's believed that they will gain a new
industry pinnacle.
