On July 30, the reporter learned from Sinopec that the sales mode of the company's self-produced melt blown cloth has been changed from the original headquarters unified deployment and directional supply to the production enterprise independent sales to customers throughout the country. Yanshan Petrochemical, Yizheng chemical fiber and other melt-blown cloth production enterprises will be reasonable according to market demand and customer requirements. This means that the contradiction between supply and demand in the national melt-blown cloth market has been effectively alleviated, and the mask industry chain and supply chain have remained stable.

After the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, the demand for masks, as the most important protective equipment in the fight against the epidemic, has soared. However, the melt-blown cloth used to produce masks is insufficient in China's original production capacity, the new production capacity is long, and the investment is large, which can not catch up with the surge of the downstream mask machine production line, and the price of melt-blown cloth has skyrocketed and the supply is in short supply, becoming the "bottleneck" of the industrial chain.

To this end, Sinopec uses its own advantages, in Yanshan Petrochemical, Yizheng chemical fiber emergency 16 melt-blown cloth production lines, with 76 days from scratch to build the world's largest production capacity of 10,000-ton melt-blown cloth production base, with an annual capacity of more than 13,500 tons. In the allocation of melt-blown fabric resources, Sinopec gave full play to the advantages of the easy delivery platform, cooperated with relevant government departments, coordinated the allocation of melt-blown fabric resources, and all mask manufacturers were directed to supply masks at parity for the production of masks, effectively suppressing prices and easing the tight supply of anti-epidemic materials.

As the epidemic situation in China continues to improve, the production capacity of melt-blown cloth in China continues to increase, and the contradiction between supply and demand in the melt-blown cloth market has been effectively alleviated. Therefore, since July, China Petrochemical mask production melt-blown cloth by the production enterprises Yanshan Petrochemical, Yizheng chemical fiber directly to the national customers for sales, ordinary customers can also directly purchase melt-blown cloth from Sinopec.

It is understood that Yanshan Petrochemical has 4 melt-blown cloth production lines, with a daily capacity of 12 tons; Yizheng Chemical fiber has 12 melt-blown cloth production lines, with a daily capacity of 18 tons. At present, Sinopec has produced more than 2,200 tons of melt-blown cloth, which can help increase the production of 2.2 billion medical masks.
