尽管冬季变暖和防冻剂过剩,但乙二醇(EG)供应却仍趋于紧张,而且价格将继续上扬。生产厂商确信,美国和亚洲用于聚酯纤维、PET瓶和树脂的EG,在可预见的将来其需求仍将极为强劲,并预告在今后几年内EG将面临严重短缺。去年底,由于EG库存量很少和一些制造厂商的短线操作,使目前EG供不应求,供需难以保持平衡。防冻剂的需求虽令人失望,但远东纤维工业正迅猛发展,欧美之PET也在迅速增长,世界经济如不衰退,需求增长会超过产量的增长,全球EG到本世纪末将面临严
Despite the winter warming and the excess of antifreeze, the supply of ethylene glycol (EG) remains tense and prices will continue to rise. Manufacturers are convinced that demand for EG for polyester fibers, PET bottles and resins in the United States and Asia will remain extremely strong for the foreseeable future, and predict that EG will face severe shortages in the coming years. At the end of last year, due to the fact that EG stocks were scarce and that some manufacturers had short-term operations, EG was in short supply, and it was difficult to maintain a balance between supply and demand. Although the demand for antifreeze is disappointing, the Far East fiber industry is developing rapidly. PET in Europe and the United States is also growing rapidly. If the world economy does not decline, the demand growth will exceed the growth of output. The global EG will be facing severely by the end of this century.
