Environmental Protection: how to look at galvanized steel pipe under pressure

Today, environment issues become a prevailing topic among people due to further economic sustainable development strategy. Meanwhile, in iron & steel industry, environmental issues have also drawn lots of attention from steel pipe manufactures in China. In order to actively respond to a series of economic policies, almost all the steel factories have to make some adjustments from a few aspects. For example, some steel pipe mills have to reduce pipe production and some even confront a shutdown in a short run.

To start with, we would like to briefly talk about the steel tube. When it comes to galvanized steel pipe, it is believed that we all have a prior basic knowledge about this common type of pipes through various information on the internet. Hot dipped galvanized steel pipe is the one common type. Generally speaking, just by its literal meaning simply, we will have the rough idea that zinc and steel are the major two components for a complete steel pipe. Since these two mental elements have distinctive physical and chemical property, it is suggested that they should not occur alone and can not be used separately. As a rule, they are combined together to improve stability & durability of products.

Next, we will have a simple discussion about how to look at the impact of environmental protection on galvanized steel pipes from several aspects. Currently, with the introduction of new environmental protection policies, particularly the main event of 2016: Tangshan International Horticultural Exposition in Hebei province, there appears the obvious decline in steel pipe production by about ten million tons. On the whole, it seems that all in a grip of depression in the steel market.

And now, let us follow up what happened in the surrounding steel market. Take the steel market in Tianjin for an example. As is known to all, more than half of steel pipes in domestic market are made in Tianjin. However, considering certain pollution caused by the toxic substance “zinc” during pipe processing, environmental protection tends to put lots of pressure on the Tianjin steel pipe market. Furthermore, due to Tianjin City adjacent to Hebei Province, the national strength has got greatly inclined to Tianjin region. In other words, it indicates that Tianjin manufactures should make some relevant adjustments from a few aspects in steel industry.

In addition, it can not be denied that the current situation in steel market will also somewhat impact upon steel pipe prices, with an unstable price fluctuation. Nevertheless, it seems relatively stability in galvanized pipe market at home in the long run.
