Core View of the Report The report focuses on the research and analysis of Taihe New Materials in the chemical fiber industry. It covers the current situation, future prospects, and new product development of products such as spandex and aramid fibers [13][15][31]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Research Basic Information - Research object: Taihe New Materials, belonging to the chemical fiber industry [9] - Reception time: July 9, 2025 - Listed company reception personnel: Board Secretary Dong Xuhai, Board Office staff [9] 3.2 Detailed Research Institutions - Guojin Securities (securities company, represented by Chen Yi) and Lantai Fund (others, represented by Liang Hongrui) participated in the research [10] 3.3 Main Content Spandex - Compared with the end of last year, the spandex price has little difference. The industry price has decreased this year, but the company's product quality has improved and the price has slightly increased [13] - The improvement of spandex is due to process and equipment optimization, reducing processes and energy consumption. The current investment density is higher than that of some peers, and the company plans to reduce it later [17] - The cost in Ningxia is lower than that in Yantai. The high investment density in Ningxia last year was due to factors such as new project design, production line transformation, and inventory management. This year, the quality has stabilized and the selling price has slightly increased [18][20] - There are no major opportunities for spandex in the next 2 - 3 years as the expansion has not ended and the downstream market is average [21] - The current proportion of differentiated spandex is about 10%, and the future plan is to reach 30% [22] Aramid Fibers - Meta-aramid is in a relatively good situation, with increasing volume, revenue, and profit, and the price is basically stable. Para-aramid has not fully stabilized, but the industry's motivation to cut prices is not strong and it should be close to the bottom [15] - The production capacity of both meta-aramid and para-aramid is 16,000 tons. Under normal circumstances, there will be growth, mainly depending on sales [27][29] - The meta-aramid coating production line has been partially put into operation, and products are being delivered in batches. The main customers are those with high requirements for product performance and willing to pay a premium, such as power backup for computing centers, special fields, power tools, and some car companies with battery factories [26] - The company's focus in the next two years is on optimizing products. In terms of incremental products, the coating products may see an increase in volume. In terms of existing products, meta-aramid and aramid paper are in good momentum and need to consolidate advantages and increase market share, especially in overseas markets; spandex and para-aramid need to reduce losses and improve quality [30] New Product Development - The company is conducting a pilot test for T2T recycling. It is promoting safety houses in the security and information business group, especially overseas. It is also providing solutions for aramid fiber series products to large enterprises and preparing a solution for new energy vehicle transportation [31] - The textile recycling technology is self-developed, and the company is currently building a pilot test [33]
