2015 年底中央经济工作会议开始将供给侧改革正式提上日程，与煤炭和钢铁行业通过严厉的行政手段化解过剩产能不同，化工细分子行业众多，产能较为分散，因此通过环保约束来化解过剩产能是重要手段。

Printing inks can be liquids or pastes that contain essential components such as pigments, resins, solvents, and additives (lubricants, solubilizers, surfactants, and fluorescents). Printing inks are used in the packaging, publishing, and promotion industries and are deployed through various printing processes such as flexography, lithography, digital printing, and gravure.

Fillers are particles that are added to materials such as plastics, concrete, and composites. These materials reduce the consumption of the binder material and improve some properties of the polymer. They are mainly used to lower the cost of material, increase density, improve thermal conductivity, and enhance other properties.

Potassium chloride is a colorless crystalline organic compound. The chemical formula for potassium chloride is KCl, which contains one potassium (K) atom and one chlorine (Cl) atom. It is an ionic compound with potassium as a metal element and chlorine as a non-metal element. It is a metal halide salt deposit formed from the evaporation of sea water. It is also known as muriate of potash (MOP).

2016 年化纤产业链受益于下游纺织服装内需、出口增长，整体需求向好。其中涤纶板块因靠近终端纺服行业，率先开启回暖周期，带动产业链自下而上复苏。中游 PTA 板块产能出清近尾声，寡头垄断显雏形，企业盈利水平改善。搭乘政策鼓励民营力量进入炼化领域的东风，涤纶行业龙头纷纷进军上游 PX 领域，打造上下游一体化全产业链新格局。产业链利润结构将由现在的“哑铃型”向“扁平型” 转变，复苏进程滞后的中游 PTA 行业盈利将逐渐进入上升轨道。

云天化公告因供气单位暂停西南地区主要用气企业天然气供应，导致全资子公司云南水富云天化合成氨和尿素装置停产，预计 2017 年 12 月 31 日前不能复产。巴斯夫也于 12 日宣布重庆 MDI 生产遇到不可抗力，原因是其合成气供应商天然气供应短缺。今年天然气限气力度较往年明显加大。

Ready-mix concrete is manufactured in a factory or a plant, within certain specific guidelines, such as in the ratio of 3:2:1, i.e., 3 parts aggregates, 2 parts water, and 1 part cement, and then delivered to a construction site through a truck equipped with transit mixers. When aggregates are mixed together with dry Portland cement and water, the mixture forms a thick fluid mass that easily molds to a predefined shape. The cement reacts chemically with water and other ingredients to form a hard component that binds the materials together into a durable, harder material that has many uses.

The building and construction industry is witnessing substantial investment not only in emerging economies such as India and China but also in developed countries such as the US. The governments of China, India, Japan, the US, Turkey, France, the UAE, and Qatar are spending substantially in various infrastructure facilities. In addition, in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, the government's focus has shifted toward the non-oil sector, owing to which the investment contribution toward construction activities has increased substantially over the years.

The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy for the sustenance of the global economic machinery. Among these fuels, crude oil is one commodity that has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. Crude oil is defined as a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions, with the presence of inorganic compounds, such as nitrogen, sulfur and metals, such as vanadium, mercury. The crude oil, in discussion, is found in specific rock formations, called reservoirs, in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly — from pools that flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters underground. The method employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold is through drilling the surface until a pre-defined depth is reached.
