The logic behind the mask shortage has to do with the industry

Chemical industry occupies an important position in the national economy of many countries, and is the basic and pillar industry of many countries. The development speed and scale of chemical industry have a direct impact on all fields of social economy.However, due to the wide range of chemical industries, complex processes and diverse products, chemical products in processing, storage, use and waste disposal and other links are likely to produce a large number of toxic substances, which will affect the ecological environment and endanger human health.Therefore, the chemical industry is a double-edged sword, both advantages and disadvantages.

The logic behind the mask shortage

In addition to all major hospitals in Hubei province seeking masks, protective clothing and other protective materials, hospitals in guangdong, Zhejiang, Henan, Shandong, Kunming and other regions have also issued urgent requests for help in stock of masks, protective clothing and other protective materials, but "masks cannot be bought!"For a time also became the national people's distress.

"National mask manufacturers at least 30000 above, under the normal market supply is adequate, but outbreaks and are now catching up with the Spring Festival, natural and man-made, is not only around the hospital, the people across the country are looking for a face mask, factory don't have enough workers and shortage of raw materials, is a recent masks protective materials such as shortage of supply is the main reason.

Raw materials do not come in, it will affect the organization of the factory production.Most mask manufacturers are unable or unable to stockpile many raw materials.

Therefore, the mask enterprises on the market are still short of filter materials.On January 27, several mask manufacturers sought raw material suppliers through local media platforms in Zhejiang.Some mask manufacturers also pointed out that there are many non-woven fabric manufacturers in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. However, due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, all parties are not well prepared. Even though some non-woven fabric manufacturers have stocks, logistics factors cause them to be unable to pull over.

Reports show that one ton of high-fused fiber can produce about 250,000 protective masks, and one ton of transparent material can produce about 500,000 disposable syringes for medical use. Polypropylene manufacturers are taking active actions to ensure adequate supply of raw materials in the face of the epidemic.

Before the normal production capacity, the domestic mask enterprises are not moist, even serious excess.There were not many mask manufacturers before SARS in 2003. During and after SARS, there was a blowout. Later, some more companies emerged in The haze in Beijing.

But even so, China's mask production still occupy 50% of the world, face masks enterprise mainly layout in Yangtze river delta, the pearl river delta, hubei xiantao and anhui tongcheng, at least 3 m masks firms across the country, famous masks enterprises more than 20, 3000 to mask companies and hubei xiantao, is an industrial cluster, however, xiantao mask firms more than 95% are export, family small mill production, a factory.

It is believed that the supply of masks will return to normal after the key problems of insufficient raw materials and workers are solved.Having experienced the epidemic, raw material manufacturers and producers may learn from the experience and move towards the road of production optimization and upgrading.
