The Great Earthquake in Japan Affects the Global Supply of Certain Chemicals

Japan's manufacturing industry suffered heavy losses. According to relevant reports, the most affected areas of the earthquake include Miyagi Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture around Sendai, which are the core areas of Japanese manufacturing. Under the impact of the earthquake and tsunami, factory buildings collapsed and equipment was damaged. At the same time, power supply was insufficient due to the closure of several nuclear power plants. Companies including Toyota, Toshiba, Canon, and Nippon Steel in these areas had already announced production suspension.

Some of Japan’s chemical output will decline in stages. The earthquake-affected areas have concentrated a large number of chemical companies. The infrastructure damage caused by the earthquake and the disruption of the supply of water and electricity have required related companies to resume production for at least a few months. Therefore, their phased output will decline significantly. Japan is one of the world's leaders and major suppliers in the downstream of petroleum refining and various fields of fine chemicals, and its output reduction is expected to push up the prices of similar products in the world.

Methyl ethyl ketone, cypermethrin, propylene oxide, TDI and other supplies are expected to be affected more, and MDI will also be affected. According to statistics, chemical products that are expected to have a significant impact on the supply (the factory is located in the vicinity of the seismic center area and has a relatively high capacity) include methyl ethyl ketone, cypermethrin, propylene oxide, and TDI. In addition, supply of MDI, acrylics, engineering plastics, high performance fibers, silicones, lithium battery chemicals (including lithium hexafluorophosphate, separators, electrolytes), electronic chemicals (including liquid crystal materials, polarizers, capacitor chemicals), etc. Will be affected. Among them, although NPU’s 400,000-ton MDI and 25,000-ton TDI are located in Zhounan City (New Nanyang City) in the southwestern end of Honshu Island, it is far from the epicenter, but it is expected that the power cut in Japan will still affect its supply. .

Radiator Valves are fitted to radiators and are used to control the temperature within the room. When used properly, they will significantly reduce the energy used by the heating system by limiting the temperatures within each room, and prevent overheating.

JKLONG Radiator valves are produced in modern factories used exclusively for valve manufacturing. Each phase of the manufacturing process, from selection of raw materials to casting, forging, machining, assembly and testing, has been improved with automated production facilities and unparalleled production technology. Standardization and automation yield JKLONG radiator valves of superior quality and higher uniformity at competitive prices supported by incomparably prompt delivery.
