PP spunbond non-woven fabric is a non-woven fabric material made from polypropylene (PP) as the core raw material through the spunbond process. It belongs to the most widely used and high-yield mainstream variety in the non-woven fabric category. 1. Core Raw Material Attributes Its basic raw material is polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic synthetic resin polymerized from propylene monomers. The high-purity homopolymer PP has an impurity content of less than 0.1%, is non-toxic, odorless, and has no harmful precipitation. It can directly contact human skin and is suitable for close fitting scenarios such as medical care, mother and baby care. 2. Unique production process Completely skipping the spinning and weaving steps of traditional textiles, PP slices are directly heated and melted, extruded into continuous filaments through a spinning plate, and uniformly laid into a fiber web after high-speed airflow stretching and cooling. Finally, it is reinforced and formed through hot rolling and bonding, with production efficiency far higher than traditional woven fabrics, and no printing and dyeing wastewater discharge throughout the process. 3. Core Basic Characteristics Lightweight and low density, easy to transport and process, high porosity and excellent breathability; Resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, resistant to microbial growth, and not easily moldy under normal conditions; Melting point of 164-170 ℃, can be disinfected and sterilized in environments above 100 ℃, and does not deform at 150 ℃ without external force; The difference in longitudinal and transverse tensile forces is controllable, and by optimizing the mesh laying process, the bi-directional strength difference can be reduced to within 15%, making it suitable for automated high-speed production scenarios. 4. Mainstream application scenarios Widely used in medical masks, surgical gowns, baby diapers, shopping bags, agricultural geotextiles, home textile lining fabrics, and other fields. After modification treatments such as antibacterial and UV resistance, it can also be extended to high-end scenarios such as outdoor engineering and special protection.     Contact us for samples or a quote：You can contact us anytime, and we look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com  

There is no unified national standard definition for the "tensile coefficient" of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric. The industry usually uses the breaking strength per unit width as the core tensile performance indicator. The tensile performance of conventional products is bound to weight and process strength. The specific benchmark data is as follows: 1、 Standard tensile strength of conventional civilian grade products Product Weight Longitudinal (MD) Breaking Strength Transverse (CD) Breaking Strength 15gsm approximately 30N/5cm approximately 22N/5cm 25gsm (commonly used mask) ≥ 85N/5cm ≥ 72N/5cm 50gsm approximately 124N/5cm approximately 95N/5cm The fracture elongation of conventional civilian models is generally in the range of 90% -100%, with excellent ductility and less susceptibility to brittle fracture.   2、 Mandatory national standard requirements for industrial grade geotextiles A 150g specification of PP spunbond non-woven fabric specifically designed for water conservancy projects is required by national standards to have a longitudinal breaking strength of ≥ 9.0kN/m. Some high weight reinforced fabrics can exceed a tensile strength of 20kN/m, making them suitable for high-strength engineering scenarios such as slope protection and anti-seepage. 3、 Core feature description PP spunbond non-woven fabric has a natural "anisotropy", with longitudinal fibers oriented and arranged along the direction of machine operation, and the tensile force is naturally greater than that in the transverse direction. By optimizing the cross laying process, the difference in longitudinal and transverse tensile forces can be controlled within 15%, meeting the high requirements for bidirectional force balance in medical automation production, high-speed sewing, and other scenarios. It is recommended to clearly stipulate in the contract that the testing standard is GB/T 24218.3, and to indicate the longitudinal and transverse tensile strength indicators to avoid disputes due to differences in testing methods.     Contact us for samples or a quote：You can contact us anytime, and we look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com  

The foreign trade market of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric from October to December 2026 will show the characteristics of "strong peak season followed by stability, prominent structural increment, and strong overall export resilience", and will not experience significant unilateral fluctuations. The core trend can be clearly defined from the following dimensions: 1、 Price and Quantity Core Trends During the peak season in October, benefiting from the traditional shipping window of Jin Jiu Yin 10 and the concentrated release of emergency orders in the Middle East, the mainstream FOB price for conventional SS products remained at 1450-1650 US dollars/ton, with export volume increasing by 10% -15% compared to September. The premium for functional antibacterial and UV resistant medical grade products can reach more than 20%. Christmas delivery period from November to December: Raw material prices gradually fall, coupled with the concentrated delivery of previous orders, the quotation slightly drops by about 5%, maintaining a high consolidation overall. At the end of the year, overseas customers' demand for replenishment at the end of the year supports high export volume, and the overall export volume in the fourth quarter increased by 8% -12% year-on-year. 2、 Core structural incremental market Middle East region: Due to the continued impact of geopolitical conflicts, the demand for medical protective and placement engineering non-woven fabrics has surged by more than 30%. Local production capacity is insufficient, and a large number of orders are turning to China for procurement, making it the most core incremental market in the fourth quarter. In the European region, the rise in energy costs has pushed up local non-woven fabric prices. The export share of high-performance functional products from China to Europe is expected to increase by 10% -15%, with the most significant increase in high-end products such as sanitary materials and home furnishings. Near ocean Southeast Asian market: The increase in sea freight rates is much lower than that of ocean routes, coupled with the continuous release of local infrastructure and demand for sanitary materials, the export stability is the strongest, and it is the basic market for exports in the fourth quarter. 3、 Core risk variables Upward driving force: With the unexpected escalation of the Iran conflict and the surge in oil prices driving up raw material costs, coupled with the outbreak of emergency orders in the Middle East, export quotations may experience a temporary surge. Downward risk: Inflation in Europe and the United States suppresses demand for low-end civilian products, shipping costs rise beyond expectations, squeezing profits from low margin conventional orders, and some ultra-low end orders are shifting to Southeast Asia.   Contact us for samples or a quote：You can contact us anytime, and we look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com

From October to December 2026, PP spunbond non-woven fabric raw materials will not continue to rise unilaterally, and the overall trend will show a "strong oscillation at a high level in October, gradually shifting the focus downwards after November, and a weak ending at the end of the year". There is no basis for a sustained upward trend. 1.October market trend: Strong oscillation at high levels, no sustained upward momentum Cost side support still exists: the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East has not fully eased, international oil prices remain in the range of 90-100 US dollars per barrel, PP fiber material costs are stable at the bottom, spot prices are prone to rise but difficult to fall, and the mainstream operating range is between 9800-10300 yuan/ton. Supply side increment gradually released: PP units that underwent early maintenance in mid to late October resumed production, and PetroChina Tarim Petrochemical's 450000 tons/year new unit gradually increased production. The previous pattern of structural shortage of standard product sources will be significantly alleviated, and the elasticity of further price increases will be greatly compressed. Difficulty in increasing demand on the demand side: High priced raw materials suppress the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream non-woven fabric enterprises, and the main demand is for replenishment, which cannot support the continuous rise of raw material prices and makes it difficult to increase transaction volume. 2.Market in November and December: The focus gradually shifts downwards, and the end of the year ends weakly Marginal weakening of cost support: If the geopolitical situation in the Middle East temporarily eases, the geopolitical risk premium of crude oil will dissipate, and the oil price center will fall back to the range of 80-85 US dollars per barrel, the core support for PP raw material costs will be significantly loosened. Concentrated release of supply pressure: In the fourth quarter, a total of 4.15 million tons of PP new production capacity was put into operation domestically, and the industry's operating rate rebounded. Coupled with the return of low-priced overseas sources, the supply and demand pattern turned loose, and raw material prices will gradually return to fundamentals. At the end of the year, the pressure on enterprises to recoup funds has increased, and the willingness of petrochemical plants to voluntarily offer discounts for shipments has strengthened. The price of fiber materials will fluctuate and fall, and the mainstream price center is expected to fall back to the range of 8500-9000 yuan/ton by the end of the year. 3.The only exception to the upward trend scenario If the unexpected escalation of the Iran conflict affects shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices exceed $120 per barrel, there may be a temporary surge in raw material prices. However, the probability of such an extreme scenario occurring is only about 15%, which is not a benchmark market judgment.   Contact us for samples or a quote：You can contact us anytime, and we look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com

The impact of ocean freight on the export of PP spunbond non-woven fabric is very direct and significant, and it is one of the core variables that determine export profits and order delivery rhythm. Combined with the current geopolitical and shipping environment in September 2026, the specific impact can be expanded from the following dimensions: 1、 Directly squeezing profit margins on the cost side PP spunbond non-woven fabric belongs to low value bulk cargo, with a conventional FOB price of only about 11000-11600 yuan/ton. The proportion of sea freight in the total export cost is much higher than that of high value-added products: Based on a 20 foot standard container loaded with 18 tons of conventional non-woven fabric, the sea freight for the China Europe route will remain above $4000 per standard container in September 2026. The shared sea freight per ton will exceed RMB 1500, accounting for nearly 15% of the value of the goods and directly consuming nearly half of the conventional profits of export enterprises. If the escalation of the Iraq conflict pushes up the war risk surcharge on the Red Sea route, the ocean freight will further increase by 20%, and the single ton logistics cost will increase by more than 300 yuan. Some low gross profit conventional orders may even directly fall into losses. 2、 Quotation and Order Structure Chain Reaction Under the significant fluctuations in ocean freight rates, overseas customers have significantly reduced the proportion of long orders to avoid risks, while the proportion of short and urgent orders has increased by more than 20%. Enterprises are unable to dilute logistics costs by locking in volume, and the difficulty of quoting has greatly increased. Due to the high proportion of ocean freight, some small and medium-sized customers are unable to afford the cost of ocean transportation, and their orders are shifting to Southeast Asian and nearby markets. The demand for small and medium-sized bulk orders in the European and American ocean markets has significantly shrunk. 3、 Increased performance risk at the delivery end In September 2026, the shipping schedule of the Red Sea and Persian Gulf routes was generally delayed by 7-12 days, and some shipping companies temporarily skipped ports in the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean. The risk of default in the delivery of PP spunbond non-woven fabric Christmas orders increased significantly. If the conflict escalates and the route is forced to detour around the Cape of Good Hope, the delivery cycle will be extended by more than 20 days, coupled with tight cabin space during peak seasons, the inventory turnover efficiency of the enterprise will significantly decrease, and the cost of capital occupation will significantly increase. 4、 Structural differentiation opportunities The increase in sea freight rates for near ocean routes (Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea) is much lower than that of ocean routes, and the export orders in this region have been the least affected, becoming the core incremental market for exports in the fourth quarter of 2026. 5、High value-added functional products (antibacterial, UV resistant medical grade non-woven fabrics) have high cargo value, and the proportion of sea freight is only 5% -8%. The impact of rising sea freight is much smaller than that of ordinary conventional products, and the export profit stability is stronger.     Contact us for samples or a quote：You can contact us anytime, and we look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com

From 2025 to 2026, multiple new mandatory standards and regulatory requirements have been introduced for the environmental indicators of PP spunbond nonwoven fabrics in China. The core dimensions have been comprehensively tightened, and the specific details are as follows: 1、 New regulations on production emissions and energy consumption The VOCs emission limits have been significantly tightened: The "Emission Standards for Pollutants in the Non woven Fabric Industry (GB 40842-2025)", which will be fully implemented on January 1, 2026, will tighten the VOCs emission limits for spunbond processes to 30mg/m ³, a 40% decrease from the old standards. At the same time, six new monitoring requirements for characteristic pollutants will be added, and companies without online monitoring equipment will face high penalties. Mandatory control of energy consumption and carbon emissions: The Implementation Plan for Green and Low Carbon Development of Textile Industry (2025-2030) clearly requires that the comprehensive energy consumption per unit output of PP non-woven fabric enterprises above designated size shall not exceed 42.6 kilograms of standard coal/ton by the end of 2025, and further reduce to 41.2 kilograms of standard coal/ton by 2026; New projects must provide a full lifecycle carbon emission report, and the carbon emission intensity per unit product must not exceed 2.1 tons of CO ₂ e/ton of fiber. Mandatory requirement for the utilization rate of recycled materials: Starting from 2026, a new medical grade PP non-woven fabric production line will be built, and the proportion of recycled polypropylene (rPP) used shall not be less than 15%. The industry's target for the utilization rate of recycled materials by 2026 will be increased to 10.5%. Enterprises that meet the requirements can enjoy a policy bonus of 85% VAT refund upon collection. 2、 New standards for product safety and performance Medical grade special mandatory threshold: The "Polypropylene Spunbond Nonwoven Fabric for Medical Protection" (GB/T 45123-2025) released in 2025 specifies for the first time that the residual amount of ethylene oxide is ≤ 5.0 μ g/g, the bacterial filtration efficiency BFE is ≥ 99.2%, and the thermal shrinkage rate ≤ 3.5% (120 ℃ × 10min) is listed as a mandatory inspection item for medical grade products leaving the factory. Special limit values for infant and child scenarios: The "Safety Technical Specification for Non woven Fabrics Used in Infant Diapers" (GB/T 43287-2025) has added a limit of ≤ 0.05mg/kg for residual acrolein and ≤ 0.8 for skin irritation index, filling the environmental protection index gap for personal care products. Food contact compliance upgrade: The updated GB 4806.7-2023 standard in 2023 requires that the total migration amount of PP non-woven fabric used in food contact should be ≤ 10mg/dm ², the total migration amount of aromatic primary amines should not be detected, and the migration amount of formaldehyde should be ≤ 15mg/kg, which is the core entry threshold for food packaging products. 3、 New compliance requirements for export end Starting from September 2025, medical non-woven fabrics exported to the European Union must be required to complete REACH Annex XVII, Item 72 filing and provide testing reports for 17 restricted substances such as nonylphenol and phthalates. Products that do not meet the standards will be directly returned by customs. The latest international standard ISO 24269:2026, released in August 2026, adds mandatory testing requirements for environmental indicators such as free formaldehyde, specific azo dyes, and heavy metals in non-woven fabrics used for ordinary civilian face masks, further raising the entry threshold for global civilian protective products.     Contact us for samples or a quote：You can contact us anytime, and we look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com

Look inside any well-made jacket, suit, or protective workwear. Between the outer shell and the inner lining, there is often a hidden layer of fabric that gives the garment its shape, structure, and durability. That hidden layer is called interlining — and more and more garment manufacturers are making it from polypropylene spunbond nonwoven fabric. In this article, we'll explore why PP spunbond is the material of choice for garment interlining and protective apparel linings — and how to choose the right specification. What Is Garment Interlining? Interlining (also called interfacing) is a layer of fabric placed between the outer shell and the inner lining of a garment. It provides: Structure and shape — keeps collars, cuffs, and lapels crisp Reinforcement — prevents stretching and distortion Body and weight — adds substance to lightweight fabrics Warmth — adds a thin insulation layer Smoothness — hides seams and stitching from the outside Why PP Spunbond for Interlining? PropertyBenefit Lightweight Adds structure without adding bulk or weight Soft and flexible Drapes well — doesn't make the garment feel stiff Strong and tear-resistant Reinforces seams and stress points Lint-free No loose fibers — clean garment interior Breathable Allows air circulation — comfortable to wear Hydrophobic Repels moisture — no dampness or mold Easy to cut and sew Clean edges — no fraying during production Cost-effective Lower cost than woven or knitted interlinings Key Interlining and Lining Applications 1. Fusible Interlining (Heat-Bonded)Spunbond fabric is coated with a heat-activated adhesive (usually dots of polyamide or EVA). When pressed with a hot iron, the adhesive melts and bonds the interlining to the garment fabric. Applications: Collars, cuffs, lapels, plackets, waistbands Typical spec: 30–60gsm, white or black 2. Sew-In Interlining (Non-Fusible)For fabrics that cannot be heat-pressed (leather, some synthetics, delicate fabrics), spunbond interlining is sewn in place. Applications: Leather garments, evening wear, tailored jackets Typical spec: 40–70gsm, white or natural 3. Protective Apparel LiningsFor workwear, protective clothing, and uniforms, spunbond is used as an inner lining. It adds comfort, protects the outer shell from body oils, and provides a clean finished interior. Applications: Coveralls, work jackets, safety vests, lab coats Typical spec: 40–80gsm, white or black 4. Bag and Luggage LiningsSpunbond is widely used as an inner lining for handbags, backpacks, and luggage. It provides body and structure while being lightweight. Applications: Handbags, backpacks, suitcases, cosmetic bags Typical spec: 60–100gsm, black, white, or custom colors 5. Shoe and Footwear LiningsFor shoe uppers and linings, spunbond provides a lightweight, breathable, and durable inner layer. Applications: Shoe lining, insole backing, boot lining Typical spec: 40–80gsm, white or natural 6. Furniture and Mattress Ticking BackingIn upholstered furniture, spunbond is used as a backing layer for decorative fabrics and as a lining for mattress ticking.

The environmental performance of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric is generally above average in the industry, with the advantages of low pollution and recyclability. At the same time, there are inherent limitations of traditional PP materials that cannot be completely biodegraded. This can be fully explained from two aspects: core advantages and objective limitations 1、 Core environmental advantages Low energy consumption and low emissions in the production process: The spunbond process directly forms a web through melt spinning, omitting multiple high pollution processes such as spinning and weaving in traditional textiles, resulting in high production efficiency and no discharge of printing and dyeing wastewater throughout the entire process. The environmental attributes of the production process are far superior to traditional woven fabrics. Pure and non-toxic material: The qualified product is made of high-purity homopolymer PP as raw material, with an impurity content of less than 0.1%, no harmful chemical precipitation, and can directly contact the skin. It is suitable for close use scenarios such as medical, maternal and child care. Low smoke combustion without secondary pollution: The smoke density grade of high-purity grades can be as low as 30 or below (ordinary PP is about 80), and there is no toxic or harmful smoke generated during the combustion process. There are no solid harmful residues, which comply with the EU EN 13501-1 fire and environmental protection standards. Recyclable: The material has stable chemical properties and can be 100% recycled and processed through melting and granulation. The recycling rate is much higher than that of composite non-woven materials, which can significantly reduce the environmental burden after disposal. 2、 Objective environmental limitations Ordinary traditional PP spunbond non-woven fabric cannot achieve complete biodegradation, and complete decomposition in natural environments takes decades or even hundreds of years. During the decomposition process, microplastic residues may be generated, which cannot meet the strict requirements for complete degradation of industrial compost. Some ordinary PP non-woven fabrics on the market that claim to be "biodegradable" only add a small amount of starch and calcium carbonate fillers, which cannot achieve true complete degradation and instead accelerate plastic fragmentation, causing more hidden microplastic pollution. When purchasing, attention should be paid to identification. Contact us for samples or a quote marketing@henghuanonwoven.com

The price of crude oil has a significant impact on PP spunbond nonwoven fabric, which is the core underlying factor determining its production cost and market pricing. The transmission chain is direct and rigid. 1、 Direct strong binding on the cost side The domestic oil to PP production capacity accounts for about 57% of the total production capacity, and the PDH production capacity accounts for 20%. The costs of both mainstream processes are deeply tied to international oil prices, and the raw material cost of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric accounts for more than 70% of the total cost. For every $10/barrel increase in crude oil, the theoretical cost of PP fiber material will rise by about 400 yuan/ton, directly driving up the production cost of PP spunbond non-woven fabric. During the escalation of the Middle East conflict in March 2026, the cumulative fluctuation of oil prices exceeded $30/barrel, corresponding to a fluctuation range of PP costs exceeding 2684 yuan/ton, directly driving the daily adjustment of non-woven fabric spot prices. 2、 Market transmission is completely synchronized In September 2026, international oil prices exceeded the $100/barrel mark, directly driving up the prices of PP fiber materials and causing a significant increase in the market prices of PP spunbond nonwoven fabrics. Even if oil prices fall in the short term, the lag effect on the raw material side will still keep PP costs fluctuating at a high level, and non-woven fabric prices will not immediately fall synchronously with oil prices, resulting in an overall upward shift in the cost curve. 3、 Current special impact In September 2026, EIA has raised its forecast for the average Brent crude oil price for the year to $91.01 per barrel. Coupled with the continued supply interruption risk caused by the Middle East geopolitical conflict, the pattern of high oil prices will continue to run through the fourth quarter, and the cost support of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric will continue to strengthen. The price center will be significantly higher than the first half of the year. The only buffering factor is the current overcapacity in the industry, and the terminal has a strong resistance to price increases, which will partially suppress the price increase caused by the rise in oil prices and prevent a unilateral surge in prices.

  In hospitals, clinics, spas, and hotels around the world, there is a quiet revolution happening in bedding. Disposable bed sheets and examination covers — once considered a luxury — are becoming standard practice. And behind most of these disposable sheets is a material you already know: polypropylene spunbond nonwoven fabric. In this article, we'll explore why PP spunbond is the material of choice for disposable bed sheets and medical examination covers — and how to choose the right specification for your product. Why Disposable Bed Sheets? Disposable bed sheets and examination covers solve several critical problems: ProblemHow Disposable Sheets Solve It Infection control Fresh sheet for every patient — no cross-contamination Laundry costs No washing, drying, folding, or replacement of worn linens Labor costs Staff time saved — simply roll out and dispose Water and energy No hot water, detergent, or dryer energy required Hygiene perception Patients see a fresh, sealed sheet — building trust Why PP Spunbond for Disposable Bed Sheets? PropertyBenefit Hydrophobic (water-repellent) Repels liquids — protects the bed or table underneath Soft and comfortable Gentle against skin — patient comfort is maintained Lint-free No loose fibers — safe for medical and cleanroom environments Breathable Allows air circulation — prevents sweating and discomfort Lightweight Reduces shipping weight and storage space Cost-effective Lower cost per use than laundering traditional linens Printable Can be printed with branding, patterns, or instructions Recyclable 100% PP — compatible with recycling streams Key Applications 1. Medical Examination Table CoversIn clinics and hospitals, examination tables are covered with a fresh sheet for every patient. Spunbond fabric is dispensed from a roll — cut to length, used once, and discarded. Benefits: Water-repellent, soft, lint-free, single-use Typical spec: 30–50gsm, white or light blue, often embossed with a diamond pattern 2. Hospital Bed SheetsFor in-patient beds, disposable sheets are used in isolation rooms, emergency departments, and maternity wards — where infection control is critical. Benefits: Fluid-repellent, soft, easy to change Typical spec: 40–60gsm, white or light blue 3. Spa and Massage Table CoversSpas and massage therapists use disposable spunbond sheets for hygiene and client comfort. A fresh sheet for every client. Benefits: Soft, comfortable, hygienic, printable with spa branding Typical spec: 30–50gsm, white or custom colors 4. Hotel and Hospitality UseSome hotels use disposable bed sheets as an extra hygiene layer for guests, especially in regions where laundry quality or water supply is a concern. Benefits: Hygienic, convenient, guest confidence Typical spec: 40–60gsm, white 5. Dental Chair CoversDental clinics use spunbond covers on patient chairs. The fabric protects the chair surface and provides a fresh, hygienic experience for each patient. Benefits: Water-repellent, soft, printable Typical spec: 30–40gsm, white or light blue 6. Tattoo Parlor CoversTattoo studios use spunbond nonwoven covers for chairs, tables, and equipment. The fabric provides a clean, hygienic surface for each client. Benefits: Hygienic, soft, lint-free, printable Typical spec: 30–50gsm, white or black 7. Beauty Salon & Waxing Bed Covers Similar to spa applications, beauty salons use spunbond covers for treatment beds. The fabric is soft, hygienic, and can be branded. Benefits: Soft, hygienic, printable Typical spec: 30–50gsm, white or custom colors Why Hydrophobic Matters One of the most important properties of PP spunbond for disposable bed sheets is that it is naturally hydrophobic — it repels water and other liquids. In medical, spa, and hygiene applications, this is critical: Protects the bed or table — spills, sweat, and fluids stay on the sheet, not on the surface below Stays dry — the fabric does not absorb moisture, so it remains comfortable No mold or bacterial growth — unlike cotton or paper, PP won't support microbial growth when wet Key distinction: Our single-layer PP spunbond is hydrophobic by default — ideal for bed sheets, exam covers, and other hygiene applications where liquid repellency is needed.

Based on the background of the PP spunbond non-woven fabric foreign trade market from July to September 2026, the impact of the Iran Iraq conflict, and the trend of the peak season in the fourth quarter, the impact of the Iran Iraq conflict on the PP spunbond non-woven fabric foreign trade market from September to December 2026 will show the characteristics of "strengthened cost support, increased logistics risks, structural differentiation of demand, and coexistence of opportunities and risks". Combined with the timing nodes of the peak season of foreign trade in the fourth quarter (Golden September and Silver October delivery time+Christmas order delivery time), the specific prediction is as follows: 1、 Dimension based core impact 1. Raw material side: The cost center has shifted upwards, and the bottom line of foreign trade quotations has been strengthened The stalemate stage from September to October: If the conflict maintains the current local friction situation, international oil prices will stabilize in the range of 90-100 US dollars per barrel, driving up domestic PP fiber prices by 300-600 yuan/ton compared to August, directly pushing up the production cost of PP spunbond non-woven fabric. The FOB foreign trade quotation will be raised by 2% -5% synchronously, and the cost support of enterprise quotations will be significantly stronger than in the first half of the year. Scenario differentiation from November to December: If the conflict gradually eases and oil prices fall back to $80-85 per barrel, cost support will be marginally weakened; If the conflict escalates and affects shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices may exceed $120 per barrel, global PP raw material supply may be tight in the short term, foreign trade quotations may experience a jump of more than 10%, and the risk of long-term contract fulfillment may significantly increase. Additional benefits: The local petrochemical production capacity in the Middle East has been affected by conflicts, leading to a decline in operating rates. Global PP raw material trade flows are tilting towards China and Southeast Asia, and domestic non-woven fabric enterprises have better stability in raw material supply than local manufacturers in the Middle East and Europe, further highlighting their cost advantage in global foreign trade competition. 2. Logistics end: Peak season combined with risk premium, delivery cost and cycle double increase Peak shipment period from September to October: The war risk surcharge for the Red Sea and Persian Gulf routes has increased by 15% -25% compared to the regular period. Coupled with the tight cabin space during the peak season, the single container logistics cost for Middle East and European routes has increased by 10% -20% compared to August. Shipping schedules are generally delayed by 7-12 days, and the clearance efficiency of some Middle East ports has decreased by more than 30%. Christmas delivery period from November to December: If the conflict does not escalate, logistics costs will remain high but will not further increase; If the conflict escalates, some shipping companies may temporarily jump to ports in the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean, significantly increasing the risk of Christmas order delivery defaults. If some North African and Southern European orders transshipped through the Red Sea are forced to detour around the Cape of Good Hope, logistics costs will increase by more than 30%, and delivery cycles will be extended by about 20 days. 3. Demand side: There is a clear structural differentiation, with a large volume of emergency and high-end demand 1.Identify incremental opportunities Local demand in the Middle East: With the ongoing conflict, the demand for medical protection (masks, protective clothing fabrics), temporary resettlement of refugees (waterproof tarpaulins, geotextile covers), and non-woven fabrics for people's livelihoods will skyrocket by more than 30%. Local production capacity is insufficient, and a large number of orders will turn to China for procurement. The antibacterial and thickened protective functional orders in the main production areas of Fujian and Shandong that you are concerned about will see the most significant growth. European order transfer: Conflict drives up natural gas prices in Europe, resulting in an 8% -12% increase in local non-woven fabric production costs compared to the second quarter. The export share of cost-effective Chinese made functional PP spunbond non-woven fabrics (antibacterial, UV resistant, flame retardant) to Europe is expected to increase by 10% -15%, especially for high-end products such as sanitary and home furnishings. Increment of entrepot trade: traders from neighboring transit countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Türkiye will increase their purchases of Chinese non-woven fabrics, and entrepot them to conflict areas and Eastern European markets affected by energy costs. In the fourth quarter, the proportion of small and medium-sized batch urgent orders and bulk orders will increase significantly. 2.Negative suppressive factors Under global inflationary pressure, the demand for ordinary civilian shopping bags and low-end packaging products in Europe and America will be suppressed, and customers have a strong desire to lower prices. The profit margin of foreign trade for these products will be further compressed, and some ultra-low end orders may be transferred to lower cost regions in Southeast Asia. 4. Trade risk side: increased uncertainty, shift in order structure towards short orders Foreign exchange risk: Customers in conflict areas may have longer payment cycles, and some orders from Iran and Israel may face difficulties in receiving payments and risks of letter of credit redemption; The global risk aversion sentiment is driving the US dollar index to remain high. If the RMB exchange rate maintains its current range, there will be some benefits for export companies in conventional regions to settle their foreign exchange. Changes in order structure: Overseas customers will reduce the proportion of long orders by about 20% in the fourth quarter to avoid price and logistics fluctuations, while the proportion of short and emergency orders will significantly increase. They have higher requirements for the company's rapid production and delivery capabilities. 2、 Suggestions for practical response to foreign trade Quotation strategy: Long orders delivered in November and December must be equipped with raw material price linkage clauses to lock in basic profits and avoid losses caused by unexpected cost increases; Emergency short orders can have their prices appropriately increased to cover the risk premium. Logistics arrangement: Priority should be given to top shipping companies for routes to the Middle East and Europe, and war insurance should be fully purchased; Arrange shipment 1-2 weeks in advance for Christmas orders, reserve buffer time to avoid delivery delays. Customer and product layout: Conduct credit screening for customers in conflict areas, prioritize the use of pre T/T payment methods to reduce foreign exchange risks; Focus on connecting with medical and engineering emergency customers, increase the stocking and promotion of antibacterial and thick protective functional products, and seize structural incremental opportunities.   Contact us for samples or a quote：-We look forward to working with you. marketing@henghuanonwoven.com
