Nylon Chain Report 2009

SUMMARY

The Nylon Chain Report: 2009 containing over 100 pages provides a comprehen-sive review of market trends, drivers, issues, and challenges. It is richly annotated with authoritative and unbiased objective description, and hard-to-find statistical facts. The report also provides unequivocal views on future potential while throwing light on the prevailing climate in key regional markets and projections upto 2014 for Nylon. Major investments and capacity shut down are captured extensively. Processes description, end use and derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity are added feature of this report.

DESCRIPTION

Global caprolactum production dwindled to a 6-year low of less than 4 million tons in 2008. Production has been growing at a slow pace for the last three years with 2008 posting a negative growth. Over the past 10 years, caprolactum output has risen by a modest 1.7% per annum against 1.1% rate of increase in consumption and similar rate in the in capacity.

Current YnFx projection model predicts that nylon consumption would touch xxx million tons by 2014. As against this, the capacity will reach xxx million tons from the current xxx million tons. Thus, the current over capacity situation would recede over the next few years. The key drivers would be engineering plastics while textiles and industrial filament market would continue to decline. Engineering plastics main market will be its increasing use in automobile sector. Countries like China and almost all European countries have made it mandatory to install airbag in all future car production.

What does “build green” mean? It is different for many people. There is no specific standardized term but I feel it embodies several different things. For one, is the product renewable? Does it come from a biodegradable or recyclable source? How much energy is needed to make the product and transport it to its final destination? What happens to it once it is worn out or broken? After reviewing those specific questions I have come to the conclusion that if youre looking for a sustainable wood product for your home, the tropical hardwood Ipe is the best material for your outdoor decking and indoor flooring needs.

First this hardwood is renewable. There are many managed forests available and the number of forests obtaining the prestigious FSC certification is growing rapidly. The USGBC uses only FSC certified wood for their LEED program due to the stringent requirements to become certified as a forest and as a manufacturer and distributor. The Lacey Act is put in place by the Department of Interior, Commerce & Agriculture to ensure that only legal wood and confirmed suppliers are allowed entrance into the US. Logging may not sound desirable but compared to drilling oil or mixing toxic byproducts for man made decking, it is a much more attractive source. Forests are no longer allowed to clear cut their trees and have stricter rules for maintaining constant flow of fruit bearing trees.

Second, Ipe is a totally biodegradable product. It can be recycled and used for other sources or broken down completely back to the earth. This species of wood requires no treatments or chemicals as it is naturally rot, mold, fungus and insect resistant. Other artificial products are not so environmentally friendly. Both PVC decking and composite decks will eventually be transported to a landfill where it will contribute to the problem of ever-growing landfills. Many composite decks boast that they are made of recycled plastics but what they dont tell you is that the decking will have the lifespan if that of Ipe. This coupled with the fact that most composite decks cannot be recycled because the wood fibers and plastics cannot be separated.

Third, the amount of energy needed to make the product and transport it is substantially less for natural wood than any man made product. If you consider the fact that wood does not require fossil fuel extraction and consumption then its easy to see why the difference is substantial. Fossil fuels, as we all know, have only increased in production and environmental costs over time. Contaminants in the air, water and land due to fossil fuel consumption will only increase with demand.

It seems we are always looking for new and alternative resources for improving what nature has provided for but it always comes down to the fact that we can’t improve on it. Natural wood flooring has been and will always be the best material for its purpose. There is no duplicating it and it is truly as green as it gets. If we all participate in buying from suppliers who use responsible forests than we contribute to a sustainable environment and reduce the use of fossil fuels that we have become so dependent on.
