ACC：2月美國化學(xué)品產(chǎn)量下降0.2%

據(jù)油氣新聞3月25日消息稱，根據(jù)美國化學(xué)委員會(ACC)的一份新報告，2020年2月，美國的化學(xué)產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量下降了0.2%。

2019年12月下降0.2%，2020年1月上升0.1%。

今年2月，除墨西哥灣沿岸外，美國各地的化學(xué)品產(chǎn)量都有所下降。

美國化學(xué)品生產(chǎn)區(qū)域指數(shù)顯示，這三個月的化學(xué)品生產(chǎn)情況喜憂參半。

有機化學(xué)品、塑料樹脂、氯堿、其他無機化學(xué)品、其他特殊化學(xué)品、合成橡膠和人造纖維的3個月移動平均產(chǎn)量趨勢有所增加。

這些增長被工業(yè)氣體、涂料、粘合劑、肥料、合成染料和顏料、作物保護化學(xué)品和消費品產(chǎn)量的下降所抵消。

報告說，美國2月份制造業(yè)活動持平。制造業(yè)活動是化學(xué)生產(chǎn)的一個強有力的指標。

報告稱，美國化學(xué)產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量較2019年2月下降1.8%，連續(xù)第九個月同比下降。

US chemical production dropped 0.2% in February: ACC

U.S. chemical production dipped by 0.2% in February 2020, according to a new report from the American Chemistry Council (ACC).

That follows a 0.2% drop in December 2019 and a 0.1% increase in January 2020, it said.

In February, chemical production dipped across the United States except along the Gulf Coast, it said.

The U.S. Chemical Production Regional Index said chemical production over the three months was mixed.

There were gains in the three-month moving average output trend of organic chemicals, plastic resins, chlor-alkali, other inorganic chemicals, other specialty chemicals, synthetic rubber and manufactured fibers.

Those gains were offset by declines in the output of industrial gases, coatings, adhesives, fertilizers, synthetic dyes and pigments, crop protection chemicals and consumer products.

The report said manufacturing activity in the U.S. was flat in February. Manufacturing activity is a strong indicator for chemical production.

U.S. chemical production declined 1.8% from February 2019, the ninth consecutive month of year-over-year declines, it said.
