London Metal Exchange (LME) copper fell below $6,000 to six-week low on Thursday, as signs indicate that China's largest copper consumer, China's low demand, and broader financial and commodity markets have a risk aversion.

A series of economic data that China will release next week may show that the economy is showing signs of stabilization, but analysts say more support measures are needed to cope with the downturn in the real estate industry and the sluggish export.

At 16:00 London time on June 4 (Beijing time on June 5th at 00:00), three-month copper closed down 1.6% at $5,915 per tonne, the lowest in six weeks.

Copper futures also closed below the 100-day moving average, and some investors believe that falling below this level may indicate further weakness, which will stimulate them to sell more.

From the seasonal cycle, China's strongest demand for copper is about to pass, and manufacturers will face a slowdown in summer production, which has led to expectations of a decline in demand in the coming months.

Robin Bhar, head of metal research at Societe Generale, said: "The demand season has passed and we are entering the phase of summer consumption decline, when demand is reduced and supply continues to increase."

"For the rest of the month, I think the price of copper will remain volatile and tend to go down. The reason is that the premium is weak, the discount on scrap copper is high, and it may be better after summer demand," said Nomura Metals analyst Patrick Jones.

BNP Paribas said that the nickel market is still "waiting for Godot", as the tight supply expected late last year has not yet become a reality. Weak nickel demand and nickel pig iron production were stronger than expected, which delayed the supply shortage in the nickel market.

BNP Paribas metal strategist Stephen Briggs said: "We still expect a large supply shortage in the nickel market in 2016, but it will take more time to use up excess inventory."

Investors are closely watching US non-farm payrolls data, which will determine the dollar's movements, which in turn will affect the price of copper in dollar terms.

LME base metals closed down on Thursday. Three-month aluminum closed down 0.6% to $1,743, but industry and traders said on Thursday that China's imports of raw aluminum ingots may rise in the coming months after aluminum prices fell in the global market, spurring end users. Buy. The news limited the decline in aluminum prices.

Three-month tin fell 1% to $15,450, but analysts said LME tin stocks steadily reduced to the lowest figure since December 2008, suggesting that there is little room for further declines in tin prices.

Three-month zinc fell 1.3% to $2,142.

Three-month nickel closed down 0.4% at $12,950 a tonne.

Three-month lead fell 1.3% to $1,927 a tonne.

PC plastic,full name Polycarbonate.

PC plastic is a kind of excellent comprehensive performance engineering plastics.It has excellent physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties,so it's known as the "king of the transparent plastic'

 

Classification:

Anti - static PC SHEET, conductive PC SHEET,fireproof PC SHEET,PC fiber - resistant, PC GF SHEET, PC+ABS SHEET,anti-ultraviolet ray resistance PC, food grade PC, anti - chemical PC.

 

Advantages:

1,Light weight

2,Impact resistance

3,Excellent physical, mechanical, electrical and thermal properties

4,Ultraviolet resistance

 

Disadvantages:

Polycarbonate is not resistant to ultraviolet light, no resistance to alkali, resistance to hydrolysis stability is not high, is the main performance defect is sensitive to the gap, resistance to organic chemistry, scratch resistance is poorer, long-term exposure to ultraviolet light yellow, are vulnerable to the erosion of some organic solvents.

 

Applications:

1. Dust-free room spacer

2. Equipment shield and test fixtures;

3. Commercial Building Lighting;

4. Soundproof walls;

5. Greenhouse;

6. Components for medical and pharmaceutical devices;

7. Face shields;

8. Skylights, etc

 

Modified use:

The purpose of the modified PC Plastic is to toughen, improve the processing performance, reduce the residual deformation, and increase the flame retardancy, etc.

PC/ABS can improve bending modulus, heat resistance and plating performance.

PC/PET and PBT can improve drug resistance and solvent resistance.

PC/PMMA added plexiglass to enhance the appearance of pearlescent color.

PC/PA and HIPS can improve impact toughness and surface finish.

PC/HDPE can improve water resistance, aging resistance, weather resistance and LDPE.

The PC  Plastic USES fiberglass or carbon fiber to enhance modification and improve mechanical strength.

The flame retardant grade  PC  Plastic  can be made with bromine flame retardant and antimony trioxide.

Other and polysulfone, aromatic polycarbonate, polyvinyl formaldehyde, polypropylene, polystyrene can be modified to achieve the balance between economy and performance.


 

Combustion characteristics: 

Combustion condition: easy, softening foaming

Flame status: small amount of black smoke

After the fire: out of the fire

Bouquet: no special taste

 

Specification: the thickness of PC  Plastic sheet material can be produced from 0.3mm to 1.9mm, the normal width is 600mm, the width cannot exceed 1200mm, the length is not limited.
The thickness of plate can be produced from 2mm to 180mm, the usual specification of 2-10mm is 1000mm* 2000mm, and the commonly used specification of 10-180mm is 600*1200 mm.  PC Plastic sheet can also be customized according to requirements, and the width cannot exceed 1200mm, and the length is not limited.and The diameter of the PC Plastic rod can be produced from 2mm to 250mm, the length is 1 meter, and it can be ordered to be more than 3 meters in length.

Color: Black and clear, can also be made another color, and the color order is 500KG.


Modified varieties:PC Plastic can be added to the Glass Fiber, copper powder, and molybdenum disulfide enhancement plate according to customer's requirements.
Add antistatic agent to the permanent plate, the volume resistance value of 10 to the 6 to 9 power.
Add flame retardant to the flame retardant board from UL 94v-0 to HB combustion grade, and other modification requirements are required to customize various additional properties according to the actual use of the customer.

Product certification: most environmental certification reports and safety reports for raw materials, such as SGS report, CTI report, UL report, MSDS safety information, etc.
