Fine chemicals are pure, single chemicals produced in customized batches. The production of fine chemicals is a complex, multistep process that must meet rigorous specifications and produce batches with ultrahigh purity levels. Examples of fine chemicals include active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), peptides and proteins, steroids, alkaloids, and biocides. Fine chemicals are used to produce specialty chemicals that have specific characteristics needed for their target end use. A few examples of industries that rely upon fine chemicals include pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, electronics, automotive, cosmetics, and construction. | Specialty chemicals are blends of two or more fine chemicals that produce a mixture with a specific function. Specialty chemicals are sometimes referred to as performance chemicals or effect chemicals because the focus is on their action in the end-user’s application. A wide variety of products and processes rely on specialty chemicals such as catalysts, corrosion inhibitors, livestock feed additives, photography, paints, inks, coatings, water and waste treatment chemicals, and many others. |

2020-2021 has been a challenging year for many businesses all around the world. While global trade has continued, the pandemic has caused changing buying habits and unpredictable demand, which has resulted in shipment delays. Now, you might ask yourself how long these delays will last and what you can do to ship your cargo on time. That’s why we have summarised the most important information for you.
Perhaps you have noticed that the recent “dual control of energy consumption” policy of the Chinese government has had a certain impact on the production capacity of some manufacturing companies, and the delivery of orders in some industries has to be delayed. In addition, the China Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the draft of “2021-2022 Autumn and Winter Action Plan for Air Pollution Management” in September. This autumn and winter (from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022), the production capacity in some industries may be further restricted. In the coming seasons, it may take double time to complete orders comparing with that before.
