Raw material prices have declined, and the rubber additives market remains in a wait-and-see stance.
According to industry-wide statistics, the rubber additives sector faced significant challenges in the first half of 2020, particularly due to a sharp decline in product prices. In the second half, as market demand picked up, overall operations improved markedly; by December, many companies were operating at full capacity, and the sector’s profitability rebounded rapidly across the board.
Thanks to last year’s low base and the continued upward trend in production and sales observed in the first quarter of this year, growth rates were notably strong. Yanggu Huatai reported in its Q1 results that orders were fully booked and production lines operated at full capacity, generating revenue of RMB 589 million—a 44.30% year-on-year increase (the same applies hereafter). Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company reached RMB 88.625 million, up 1,719.56%. However, in 2020, Yanggu Huatai’s total revenue stood at RMB 1.943 billion, down 3.52%, while net profit attributable to shareholders fell 31.77% to RMB 126 million. Based on these figures from listed companies, it appears that the rubber additives industry is expected to perform better this year than in the previous year.
According to data from the China Rubber Industry Association, during January–February, member enterprises recorded sales revenue of RMB 3.635 billion, a 33.42% year-on-year increase; total output of rubber additives reached 225,800 tons, up 35.32%; export delivery value rose 46.51%, with an export ratio (by value) of 29.37%, an improvement of 2.62 percentage points.
Analysts anticipate that China’s economy will follow a “high‑in‑the‑front, low‑in‑the‑back” trajectory this year, with growth decelerating quarter by quarter. Consequently, rubber additives manufacturers expect the industry’s outlook to stabilize going forward. At the same time, companies emphasize that, amid growing market uncertainties and heightened risks, end‑users should not rely solely on lower raw material costs to boost profits. Instead, they should strive to capture value through market dynamics, cultivate strong supplier relationships, and forge strategic partnerships to achieve mutually beneficial development.

Recently, we’ve noticed that many users have limited knowledge about conveyor belts, and even less understanding when it comes to selecting the right type. Here, we’ll briefly outline some key tips for choosing conveyor belt specifications and models based on different operating conditions:
1. **Width-Based Classification**: Conveyor belts are categorized by width into common models such as B500, B600, B650, B800, B1000, B1200, and B1400 (where “B” denotes width in millimeters). Currently, Huaxia Rubber’s maximum production capacity reaches conveyor belts with a width of 2700 mm.
2. **Environmental Resistance**: Depending on the operating environment, conveyor belts can be classified into types such as standard rubber belts, heat-resistant belts, cold-resistant belts, acid- and alkali-resistant belts, oil-resistant belts, and flame-retardant belts. (Huaxia Rubber’s flame-retardant belts have successfully passed both domestic coal safety certification and U.S. coal safety certification.)
3. **Tensile Strength**: Conveyor belts are further divided into standard‑strength and high‑strength varieties. Examples include standard canvas belts and high‑strength canvas belts; standard steel‑cord core belts and high‑strength steel‑cord core belts. High‑strength canvas belts are available in nylon (NN belts) and polyester (EP belts). At present, Huaxia Rubber primarily produces high‑strength steel‑cord core belts, with its ST‑HHE lightweight, high‑strength steel‑cord core energy‑saving belts taking center stage.
The ST‑HHE lightweight, high‑strength steel‑cord core energy‑saving belt is an independently developed product by Huaxia Rubber. The application of ST‑HHE technology and products represents a technological breakthrough in the field of belt conveyors. According to statistics, while fully meeting all technical requirements—including conveying capacity, service life, and safety—ST‑HHE belt conveyor systems can reduce equipment investment by more than 30% compared to traditional ST systems, and cut operation and maintenance costs by over 30%, with average electricity savings exceeding 26%.
