The price of downstream refrigerant products remains low, and the operating rate of the refrigerant industry in the field remains low. Recently, the sales of the automotive industry has declined month on month, and the refrigerant market has not changed much. In terms of demand, the refrigerant industry mainly purchases on demand, and the refrigerant industry market has declined slightly. In the refrigerant market as a whole, the market is mainly declining, and the price trend of chloroform is declining, which makes the cost of the refrigerant industry decline. At present, the price trend of refrigerant R22 has dropped slightly. The main manufacturers of refrigerants are still not operating well. The market supply is normal, but the demand is general. The demand in R22 market application field is poor, and the enterprise quotation has declined slightly. Up to now, the R22 market quotation is in the range of 16000-17000 yuan / ton. The price of R134a in China rose slightly while the price of trichloroethylene remained low with limited cost support. The market price of R134a rose slightly and the focus of trading was low. At present, the market price of R134a is in the range of 18000-22000 yuan / ton, the high price transaction is weak, the market sentiment is poor, the enterprise is eager to ship, the actual transaction is more profitable, and the downstream refrigerant market is depressed. As a result, the price of hydrofluoric acid is slightly lower.

 

From the perspective of the industrial chain chart, the fluorine chemical industry has a poor market, and the price of raw material fluorite has risen. However, the price trend of sulfuric acid raw material has dropped, and the price of downstream refrigerant products has remained low. In addition, the recent domestic supply of hydrofluoric acid is sufficient. Chen Ling, hydrofluoric acid analyst of business agency, believes that the market price trend of hydrofluoric acid may decline in the later period.

The market supply was in short supply, and the merchants continued to explore the rise. Merchants’ reluctance to sell increased, coupled with the continuous rise of crude oil, and merchants actively followed the rise.

 

In the middle of May, the domestic MTBE market was still rising and the rise slowed down. The specific reasons were as follows: Although crude oil rose and fell, the current price was still high, which gave the market some psychological support; Gasoline prices continued to rise, with good overall demand; The main refineries in some regions were temporarily shut down, the spot supply in the region was significantly reduced, and the merchants’ willingness to push up was renewed.

Azodicarbonamide (AC foaming Agent)

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business agency that since June, the domestic n-butanol market in Shandong has been declining as a whole. In the first ten days of June, the domestic n-butanol market in Shandong was supported by the low inventory level, and the market rose briefly after the Dragon Boat Festival. On June 7, the ex factory price of n-butanol broke the 10000 yuan mark, with a reference of 10166 yuan / ton. Subsequently, the market fell back after a weak trend. In the middle stage, the overall market situation of n-butanol in Shandong was stable, and the market price range was not large. On June 19, the ex factory price of n-butanol was around 9800 yuan / ton. In the late stage, the n-butanol market experienced a wide decline, the downstream construction was generally started, and the demand support was insufficient.

As of June 27, the ex factory price of n-butanol was around 8000-8300 yuan / ton, and the average price was 8100 yuan / ton. The decline in the eight days was more than 17%, which was 18.46% lower than that at the beginning of the month. At present, after the n-butanol market fell to a low level, the market trading atmosphere has warmed up.

 

In terms of upstream propylene, recently (6.20-6.27), the domestic propylene market in Shandong Province has been running down as a whole. The mainstream propylene (Shandong) market quotation is 7750-7850 yuan / ton. The market supply pressure has increased, and the price has been under pressure downward. On the supply side, some new capacity is released, and the propylene market is relatively abundant. The shipping pressure of production enterprises increased, and the pressure of periodic shipping increased, resulting in the weak adjustment of propylene price. Cost: the raw material price is relatively high, and the support for propylene is acceptable. However, the demand is weak, the profitability of some downstream products is not high, and the commencement is limited, which restricts the demand for propylene, resulting in the weak decline of propylene price.

South China, 4850 yuan / ton, 3950 yuan / ton

North China, 5400 yuan / ton, 3650 yuan / ton

In June, the domestic acetic acid market fell sharply, mainly because the downstream demand was weak, the market transaction atmosphere was light, the acetic acid factory had a strong mentality of shipping, and the quotation continued to fall. However, the downstream and traders were generally enthusiastic, and the acetic acid market continued to be weak under the mentality of just entering the market and buying up but not buying down. From the supply side, the faulty devices in the northwest factory resumed operation, the main factories in Shandong resumed retail, the market supply increased, and the supply and demand were weak, Acetic acid market may continue to decline.

 

The price of acetic anhydride in the downstream fell. As of the 20th, the ex factory price of acetic anhydride was 7500.00 yuan / ton, down 12.10% in June.

In terms of acetate, the domestic ethyl acetate Market is weak. As of the 20th, the average ex factory price of ethyl acetate in East China was 8400 yuan / ton, down 4.67% in June. The upstream acetic acid market continued to weaken, driving the price of ethyl acetate down.

The market of butyl acetate was mainly volatile, the cost and demand were negative, the supply side narrowed, and the market was weak under the stalemate of supply and demand. The weak operation of raw acetic acid market has driven the weak consolidation of downstream acetate Market.

 

According to the acetic acid analysts of the business society, the domestic acetic acid market has a cold trading atmosphere, the factory quotations have been frequently reduced, and the downstream purchase still needs to be followed up. The main plant units in East China will resume operation, the on-site supply will also increase, and the supply will be strong but the demand will be weak. It is expected that the acetic acid market will continue its weak operation, and the long-term trend needs to pay attention to the downstream follow-up.
