Citric acid can be widely used in food, textile industry, medicine and personal care products. China is the largest producer of citric acid with nearly 70% of the annual production exported to other countries. China Citric Acid Export Volume in 2014-2018 (Data Source: UN Comtrade, China Customs) According to the data of UN Comtrade, the citric acid export from China is increasing steadily in the past five years. The fastest growth is seen in 2017, which had a 7.97% year-on-year increase. In 2018, China has exported 956,462 tons of citric acid, increased by 4.38% from 916,338 tons in 2017. China Citric Acid Export Value in 2014-2018 (Data Source: UN Comtrade, China Customs) Though the export volume of citric acid is rising in China, the export value is showing a different path due to many factors. The export value also reached the peak point at 775,999,486 in 2017, but it is decreased by 8.95% in 2018 due to the lower average export price of the citric acid.

Arla Foods Ingredients has created a low-volume, high-protein nutritional supplement for medical purposes. The beverage prototype has 10g of protein per 100ml shot, making it suitable for patients who require whey protein in a low-volume nutritional treatment. As an excellent source of essential amino acids and leucine, whey protein is increasingly in demand in the medical nutrition market. According to Innova Market Insights, the number of global medical nutrition beverage product launches featuring whey protein grew by 9.9% CAGR between 2012 and 2017. However, Arla Foods Ingredients said the production of high-protein whey beverages comes with challenges; they can gel over time, taste can be compromised and, if the ingredient is not heat-stable, processing equipment can be blocked. The new beverage prototype aims to overcome these challenges. Developed for medical nutrition manufacturers, it is UHT-stable and delivers 10% protein content, all of which comes from whey. The concept utilises Arla Foods Ingredients’ Lacprodan DI-7325, a whey ingredient specially designed for medical nutrition. The ingredient is suitable for beverages containing minerals, and is said to maintain good viscosity (with no gelation over time) as well as good heat stability. Inge Lise Povlsen, senior category manager at Arla Foods Ingredients, said: “There is increasing demand for low-volume medical nutritional food and beverages with high levels of high-quality protein. The excellent nutritional profile of whey protein makes it the perfect ingredient for this. But the fact is whey proteins can be challenging in beverages when concentration increases. “Thanks to Lacprodan DI-7325, your next low-volume, high-protein medical beverage solution will have great heat stability, it won’t gel over time, and it won’t compromise on taste.” Source: foodbev.com
Source: ChemOrbis According to ChemOrbis Price Index, Vietnam’s local and import PE markets have been tracking a mostly stable to slightly firming trend since they hit multi-year lows in the first half of January. The recent March offers revealed by a Saudi producer have strengthened this firming sentiment. First hike attempts from Mid-East emerged before holiday Some Middle Eastern suppliers approached the Vietnamese market with slight hikes of around $10/ton ahead of the Lunar Year holidays despite the fact that a few regional producers announced rollovers or slight decreases for February. Defying the holiday lull, Middle Eastern sellers maintained their firm stance on their offers. Initial March offers from Saudi Arabia up, contributing to firming A distributor in Vietnam reported that a Saudi Arabian producer has revealed its March PE prices to the country with slight increases of $10/ton from February. “Demand towards import PE has improved as buyers are more willing to make purchases now due to their concerns that prices might increase further,” the trader commented. Locally-held PE prices follow imports higher Following the recent hikes in the import market, offers for locally-held PE have also witnessed some weekly gains of around VND500,000-1,000,000/ton ($21-43/ton). A bag manufacturer in Vietnam noted that he was offered slightly higher prices after he returned to his desk from the Tet holiday. “We are planning to secure some cargoes nowadays as prices are likely to see further gains in the near term. Still, we believe that sufficient supply levels will keep increase amounts in check,” the buyer opined. Upstream support In the upstream markets, spot ethylene prices on CFR Far East Asia basis currently stand at their 20-week high, according to the latest weekly data from ChemOrbis Price Wizard. Spot prices on CFR Southeast Asia basis are also hovering around their highest levels since early October. Players agreed on the fact that strong costs have supported the sentiment across Southeast Asia’s PE markets. Pressure from competitive US offers fades Not only in Vietnam but also in some other regional countries including Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines; the pressure from competitively-priced US cargoes has faded since offers below the $1000/ton CIF threshold have largely disappeared in line with some US suppliers’ recent hike attempts.
Venator is off to a good start in 2019, with customer destocking expected to continue to decelerate in the current first quarter, said the CEO of the UK-based titanium dioxide (TiO2) producer in an update on Wednesday. Destocking already decelerated in the fourth quarter, with Venator’s TiO2 sales volumes declining by 6% year on year, compared with an 18% decline in the third quarter, Simon Turner told analysts during the company’s Q4 earnings call. “We are encouraged that we have seen a relatively decent start to the year, and we believe [destocking] will diminish,” he said. “While it is early, [2019], from an order perspective, got off to a decent start,” he added. In the near term, Venator expects difference in regional performance, with strength in North America, slower growth in Europe and weakness in China. In North America, TiO2 prices are expected flat or up, but there would be “a little bit of near-term slippage in pricing” in other regions, he said. Energy and raw material cost escalation is expected to continue in the first quarter, especially in higher grade chloride feedstocks, he said. For the full year, the company expects higher TiO2 sales volumes than in 2018. Notwithstanding the soft economic backdrop in 2019, longer-term TiO2 industry fundamentals remain favourable, with continuing global demand growth outpacing limited new supply, the CEO said. NEW BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME Venator also launched a new business improvement programme, following a similar programme launched in 2017. The 2019 programme targets $40m in annual adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) benefits by end 2020. About 25% of the new programme relates to selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) “compression and manning reductions”, Turner said. Another 25% relates to improvements in Venator’s performance additives segment. The remaining 50% targets TiO2 manufacturing costs and efficiencies - in particular increasing co-product benefits, improving maintenance effectiveness and reductions in energy use, Turner said. The effects of the existing programme and the new ones will offset much of the raw material cost inflation, he added. Source: ICIS

December imports of homopolymer PP exceeded 2,000 tonnes from 1,700 tonnes a month earlier, local companies increased their purchasing of homopolymer PP raffia from Russian producers. Overall PP imports of this PP grade exceeded 23,500 tonnes in 2018, compared to 22,300 tonnes a year earlier. Shipments of propylene copolymers decreased to 637 tonnes in December from 1,400 tonnes in November, local pipes producers reduced their purchasing. Thus, imports of propylene copolymers reached 8,700 tonnes over the stated period, compared to 13,100 tonnes a year earlier. Reducing of the time of the shutdown of a local producer - Neftekhim LTD helped to increase export volumes. Total PP exports from the country were about 24,600 tonnes in 2018, compared with 19,100 tonnes in 2017. The bulk of Kazakh PP exports was shipped to Russia. Source: mrcplast.com
In a real-world example of how Planet Textiles 2019 in Barcelona will address some of the practical environmental challenges faced by the textile industry, Nike will explain how working together with a Mexican textile supplier, it's managed to slash the use of water during cotton dyeing to just 20 litres per kilo of cotton – ultra-low levels by conventional textile industry standards. John Rydzewski, Director of Water Programs, Nike Inc. and Omar Kuri Director General, Vertical Knits S.A. de C.V will take to the stage in Barcelona to reveal some of the measures and innovative techniques that the Mexican knitted fabric supplier has taken to reduce its water use by a massive 85 per cent per kilogram of fabric – while halving its energy bill in the process. In the joint presentation to Planet Textiles delegates, which takes place at the forthcoming ITMA exhibition on 22nd June in Barcelona, Rydzewski and Kuri will present for the first time in public a joint case study on: ‘A Journey to World-Class Water Efficiency for Cotton Dyeing.’ “Studies have shown that, on average, it takes approximately 200 litres of freshwater to dye and finish a kilogram of cotton,” Rydzewski told Ecotextile News. “Through innovative water recycling and manufacturing process improvements, over the past two years, our supplier Vertical Knits has reduced its freshwater by approximately 85 per cent to just 20 litres per kilogram of fabric.” In addition to water savings, Vertical Knits claims it has also realised an almost 50 per cent reduction in energy savings. Reserve your place at Planet Textiles here to avoid disappointment – places are now being snapped up fast. Full price ticket includes a discounted 7-day free pass to ITMA. “In our presentation, Vertical Knits and Nike will share how we were able to achieve these dramatic savings through close collaboration and a multi-faceted approach,” noted Rydzewski. Located in Mérida, Mexico, Vertical Knits is just that – a vertically integrated knitted fabric operation, which produces around 300 tonnes per month of knitted and dyed fabrics. Together with his brother and father, Omar Kuri helped to start the company in 2003 and has worked with brands such as Nike, Patagonia and others. “In 2014, I took the lead on an internal project to improve the manufacturing and water treatment processes, to reduce the footprint on energy and water consumption,” Kuri told us. source: ecotextile.com
