Reagent chemicals. 11th editor. 160101

由ACS 负责的 试剂标准与分析方法,11版於2016年1月出版了. 上一次是2006年,相距10年,


可称颁望己久. 几年前,就有试剂行业的老专家, 关心它的出版.


我现在看到的是网上的信息,例如分析方法改用仪器, 以重金属分析用ICP,代替过去硫化物.


试剂的纯度应比原来提高,因为过去用於高纯产品的手段,用到一般产品上.


品种只坛加5-6种,还是400种. 另外,至今这里大学图书舘中都还没有此书.

Earnings grow in tough climate. 150118

 In-demand specialties helped offset weakness in agriculture and construction.


In the short term,  the move strengthens the U.S. dollar, potentially harming exports of U.S.-made


products by making them more expensive. In the first half of this year, U.S. exports to China were


off by 3.6%, compared with last year, while imports increased by 7.2%, according to the ACC,


a trade group. that suggests the chemical trade deficit with China-which was $729 million in 2014


-is likely to expand.


 Those moves will leave Axiall with only chlorovinyls, a business that had a poor second quarter


because of weak pricing    for caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride compounded by unplanned


outages. Lower natural gas prices helped but did not rescue result. Similarly, PVC maker Westlarke


Chemical reported lower prices for all of its products. But its acquisition of Vinnolit, a specialty PVC


resin business, enabled it to grow sales by 13.0% and earning by 7.0%.


 Indeed, in the current slow-growth, strong -dollar economy , chemical firms seem able to increase


sales only through acquisition.

2.  FDA urged to enforce country-of-origin drug labels.

according to FDA.

China looks west. 15116

1. Chinese companies selling to U.S. and European markets need strong sales and marketing teams


on the ground. Typically , the teams themselves are Americans or Europeans, their expertise due in


part to belonging to the societies of the target markets. This East-goes-west model is an exciting


opportunity for young professionals who can switch back and forth between the hierarchy of Chinese


companies and the collaborative quality of Western business practice. Facility with Mandarin would


be a huge advantage-and formidable when blended with business skills.


 From : CEN  AUGUST 2015 SUPPLEMENT  P. 11


2. Saltigo adjusts its stance.   The former Bayer fine chemicals business has shifted its weight in


pharmaceutical chemicals . In its nearly 10 years in business, Saltigo has succeeded in turning


a high-tech chemicals operation into a competitive custom fine chemicals company with annual


revenues approaching $500 million.  As oppose to making 10 products, they can make one product


can go into 10 applications. Saltigo as a service firm that maintains ties to its Bayer chemistry


heritage.         From : CEN  AUGUST 17,2015


3. Fine chemicals BASF to sell custom synthesis and API businesses to Siegfried.


The deal, involving manufacturing sites in Germany ,Switzer, and France, will affect about 850


employees. Siegfried will pay BASF $306 million. the acquisition will increase Siegfried's


sales by roughly 50% to $ 955 million.
