ammonium persulfate

II. Market analysis:

 

Product: the domestic epichlorohydrin market continued to rise on the 23rd. Due to the fact that the main domestic factories are still in the state of parking, the spot supply is tight, the price keeps rising, and the manufacturers have no delivery pressure, so it is difficult to find the source of low-cost goods with high price offer. With the rapid rise of the price to a high level, the downstream just need to purchase high price raw materials, and watch carefully. 23 the main quotation of epichlorohydrin market in China was 17500-20000 yuan / ton.

 

Price trend of epichlorohydrin in recent three years:

 

Industry chain: on March 23, the market price of the upstream propylene in Shandong remained stable. At present, the market turnover is about 7200-7550 yuan / ton, and the mainstream price is 7200 yuan / ton. The production cost of downstream epoxy resin remained high on May 23, and the manufacturer continued to offer high price.

 

3. Future forecast:

 

Epichlorohydrin analysts of the business association believe that the price stability of upstream raw material propylene has little impact on epichlorohydrin. At present, the market price of epichlorohydrin has risen to the highest point in the year, and the supply and demand side is still the key to the price rise and fall of epichlorohydrin. Continuing to strengthen high-end prices may cause downstream users to be “out of reach” and become increasingly resistant. However, few manufacturers are willing to sell goods at low prices even if the supply side has not been alleviated yet. In the short term, epichlorohydrin market is expected to digest the growth, but the specific trend still needs to pay close attention to the downstream mainstream market demand.

The market price trend of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream of fluorite remains low. As of the 18th, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid is 9780 yuan / ton. The low market price of hydrofluoric acid has a certain negative impact on the upstream market of fluorite. However, the recent operation of hydrofluoric acid plant is general, the demand for fluorite is weakened, and the price of fluorite remains low and volatile. In the near future, the downstream refrigerant market of the terminal has a general trading market, and the domestic refrigerant R22 market has a low volatility. From the perspective of market supply, the refrigerant R22 market continues to be weak, the manufacturer’s production units reduce the starting load, the market supply capacity has declined, and the inventory pressure has been buffered. In terms of demand, the downstream air-conditioning manufacturers maintain the air-conditioner, and the demand is only reduced but not increased. The price of domestic large enterprises is 12000-14000 yuan / ton. The price trend of domestic R134a market remains low. At present, R134a market has entered the off-season, downstream demand is relatively weak, and the operating rate of several R134a production enterprises remains low. However, the transaction price in the market keeps falling, the merchants purchase on demand, the peak season ends, the downstream demand of the terminal only decreases but not increases, and the affected price of fluorite market is at a low level.

 

On the whole, the market of the downstream refrigerant industry is low and the demand of the downstream refrigerant industry is poor. However, as the temperature drops, the supply of fluorite in the North may decrease. Chen Ling, an analyst of the business agency, thinks that the market price of fluorite may maintain a low trend.
