BEIJING (Asian Metal) 14 Jan 11 – Demand from downstream consumers for green silicon carbide is still strong, and the supply for green silicon carbide lumps keeps tight, for difficult transportation in Xinjiang and production halt of green silicon carbide in Sichuan in light of the dry season.
A Qinghai-based smelter reported that demand from downstream consumers is very strong and all the materials in January have been booked by long-term customers. The source offers green silicon carbide lumps at RMB10,100/t (USD1,525/t) ex works and reveals that all the orders accepted in this month are concluded at this price level. Excepting for strong demand from downstream consumers, the short supply of green silicon carbide lumps can be attributed to the difficult transportation in Xinjiang and production halt of green silicon carbide in Sichuan.
With an output of 4,300tpm of green silicon carbide lumps, the source reveals that the current output cannot meet the demand from downstream consumers, though all his four smelting lines of silicon carbide are running at their full capacities.
Another Qinghai-based smelter confirms the tight supply of green silicon carbide lumps and offers the materials at RMB10,000/t (USD1,510/t) ex works, revealing that he only has small quantity of green silion carbide for the moment. "We received more enquiries and orders from downstream consumers, for the delivery of cargoes from Xinjiang is very difficult and all smelting lines of green silicon carbide stopped late December in line with the dry season," explained the source.
Running at their full capacities of 4,100tpm of green silicon carbide lumps, the source reveals that he has four smelting lines with 12,500kva transform voltage for each line. "All the four smelting lines of green silicon carbide are running at their full capacities," emphasized the source.
