Asia and the Middle East are expected to add 4.7 million tons of polyethylene capacity in 2010

According to ICIS estimates, Asia and the Middle East are expected to add 4.7 million tons of polyethylene capacity in 2010. In order to avoid competition with cheap polyethylene from the Middle East, some naphtha-based polyethylene producers in Northeast Asia have switched to producing products that are not widely produced by producers in the Middle East. The polyethylene products exported to Asia by producers in the Middle East are mainly film grade, injection film grade, and blow molding grade.

Market participants recently said that due to the impact of rising crude oil prices in the Middle East, polyethylene producers in Asia will face a difficult squeeze in profits in the second half of the year. A polyethylene producer based in Southeast Asia that uses naphtha as the raw material said: “At present, we can still maintain certain profitable space, but the situation in the second half of the year will depend on whether or not polyethylene producers using natural gas as feedstock in the Middle East will Asian markets dump their low-cost products."

Although the profits of the cracker and polyethylene plant in Asia are clearly declining, there is no possibility of a sharp decline in the second quarter.

Veneer Slicing And Peeling Knives

Veneer Slicing Knives For Polywood

Veneer slicing knives are crafted using high-quality materials such as high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, ensuring durability and longevity. They feature sharp cutting edges that deliver clean and precise slices, resulting in smooth and uniform veneer surfaces.

These knives come in various blade profiles to accommodate different slicing methods and desired veneer thicknesses. They are engineered to withstand the heat generated during the slicing process, maintaining consistent cutting performance over prolonged use.

Regular maintenance is essential for veneer slicing knives to retain their cutting efficiency. This includes sharpening and honing the blades to ensure optimal performance and extend their lifespan.

Veneer slicing knives are indispensable tools in the veneer production industry, enabling the efficient transformation of raw wood into thin, high-quality veneer sheets. Through careful handling, proper maintenance, and adherence to cutting parameters, these knives contribute to the production of exquisite wood products.
