More attention should be paid to the trend of raw materials and the change of supply and demand after the short-term high range fluctuation of propylene glycol

Entering this week, propylene oxide, the raw material, has once again boosted the rise, giving more support to the cost of propylene glycol. The current market fundamentals of propylene glycol remain stable. Although the user’s just need inquiry continues and the cautious attitude remains unchanged, under the increasing cost pressure, it is expected that the price of propylene glycol will fluctuate in the high range in the short term, and the possibility of a sharp decline is small. The specific trend still needs to pay close attention to the raw material cyclopropane And changes in supply and demand.
