奥升德高性能材料首席执行官在PA66需求增长会议上的声明

2018年10月15日

Polyamide 66’s unique properties have made it the material of choice in solving technical challenges in a number of industries. Due to conflicting reports on long-term PA66 availability, we believe it is necessary to restate our commitment to meeting increased market demand, supporting our customers and maintaining reliable operations.

尼龙66独特的性能使的它成为大量行业面临材料技术难题时的选择。由于市场上对于尼龙66供应的长久可靠性的一些分析报告导致客户存在一些混淆和迷惘，奥升德觉得有必要再次承诺我们正通过投资产能来满足日益增常的市场需求，保证我们的客户可以进行稳定可靠的生产。

The fact remains that PA66 provides the best mix of value, performance and processability among the various thermoplastics available today. As the largest fully integrated producer of PA66 and a supplier of PA66 into diverse end-use applications, Ascend Performance Materials is committed to providing high-performance polyamide solutions to the automotive, electrical and electronic, cable tie and consumer and industrial markets.

尼龙PA600今天在众多的热塑性塑料中最好的兼具了价值，性能和加工性。作为全球尼龙66最大的一体化生产商，奥升德一直致力于为汽车，电子电器，配线器材和工业消费品市场上提供解决方案。

Our stated capacity expansions are designed to support our customers’ growth. The announced 2018 40kt adiponitrile expansion is nearly complete and work is underway to begin our further 180kt adiponitrile expansion by 2022. We plan to continue adding capacity to relieve the bulk of constraints felt in the market.

我们现在的产能扩张正是我们计划中对我们客户需求增长的支持。2018年度4万吨AND(己二腈，www.addivic.com)的扩产接近完成，目前我们正在开始我们的工作到2022年让AND产能再增长180万吨。我们计划持续增加产能来缓解市场因为AND的缺乏导致的产能约束。

There is a reason PA66 is in such high demand. Ever-increasing performance requirements and some of the highest production numbers we have seen across industries have made PA66 the material of choice. Replacing PA66 with another material has costs beyond availability and price.

还有一个原因导致PA66 (www.addivic.com)需求提高。选择尼龙66可以满足不断增加的性能要求。用另外一种材料代替尼龙会导致更高的价格和可靠性方面的问题（参考addivic PA600可以代替PA66降低成本）。

 

Ascend recognizes that nylon 6,6 availability is currently constrained and we are working with our customers to help relieve that constraint where possible. Our recent acquisition in Tilburg, Netherlands, is running at full capacity producing engineered plastic compounds for our European customers, including those who serve the automotive sector.

Similarly, our facilities in Foley, Alabama, and Greenwood, South Carolina, are producing at optimal levels to support our customers with compounds and fiber.

奥升德意识到尼龙66目前的供应问题，也正在致力和客户合作帮助客户。公司最近收购了荷兰的一家改性厂，满负荷生产产品来服务欧洲客户，包括汽车。

Our Pensacola site remains under force majeure, however, production is around 90 percent of capacity.

PA66 availability will continue to be constrained for the short term, but we are committed to meeting the long-term needs of our customers and supporting their growth with high-performance polyamide.

我们的盘萨克拉工厂虽然还没有解除不可抗力，但是产能也恢复了90%。 短期内PA66供应还将继续受到供应不足的限制， 但是奥升德承诺通过增加产能从长期战略上满足和支持客户的需求和增长。
