According to the previous report of iAbrasive.com, Shi Tieshuan, chairman of the board of Yichuan Dongfeng Abrasives Co., Ltd. was selected as the chairman of the Raw Materials Committee of China Coated Abrasives Association. During the committee, Shi aired his point of view about the current situation of the coated abrasives industry in China and offered some suggestions, which mainly fall to three aspects.

1. Respond to national industry policies and facilitate the progress of the raw materials industry.

The major raw materials for coated abrasives manufacturing are substrate materials, bonding agents, and abrasives. In recent years, the upstream resources of the three factors have seen a fluctuation influenced by international politics, military situation, and China's domestic industry adjustment. Most raw materials companies could hardly gain necessary benefits, which served as the major reason for the fact that development of raw materials cannot adapt to abrasive belt manufacture. Meanwhile, China's policies for industry upgrading are strict with environmental protection. The three major materials of coated abrasives belong to the textile industry, the chemical industry, and the smelting industry, the traditional manufacturing procedure of which have been enlisted on China's restricted industries. Although some companies have made multiple technological innovations and have made breakthroughs, there is still a distance from China's industry project. Since the international market is changeable, domestic industry upgrading has become a prevalent trend. For China's coated abrasives industry, combining national policies with effective industry platform and taking advantage of the Internet can boost the construction of the industry. Besides that, companies are also suggested to develop low carbon economy.

2. Enhance R&D of new technologies and new products.

Abrasive is the most important factor in coated abrasives manufacture. Currently, 95% of the coated abrasives are oxide and carbide. In 2004, thanks to the rapid development of China's oxide processing technology, China's ordinary abrasives processing was close to foreign advanced standard, especially the trial production and scale production of Yichuan Dongfeng's tunnel kiln for sintering abrasives. Most abrasives made in China were exported to the U.S market. Several American companies paid highly attention. Since April 2004, America began to increase 138% od anti-dumping duty to China's brown fused alumina that was lower than 9mm. After that two competitive brown fused alumina and zirconia alumina companies were taken over by foreign abrasives manufacturers, which contributed to the overcapacity problem of low-end abrasives in China. Therefore, three measures should be taken. Firstly, be independent and pay close attention to foreign unfair competition. Secondly, conduct an environmental protection revolution to the current abrasives processing technology, especially smelting technology. Thirdly, put emphasis on the development of abrasives upgrading that is suitable for China's industry situation.
