At present, the mainstream quotation in the industry is about 800-1000 yuan / ton.

The peak season of refrigerant downstream market has passed, the market demand is poor, and the goods are in general. The lower reaches have limited acceptance of high price refrigerants, so they are cautious to watch the market, and the enthusiasm for pursuing rising is not high; the pharmaceutical and agricultural solvent industry has started smoothly, and there is insufficient support for chloroform.

According to the methane chloride data of the business society, the chloroform market in Shandong is in a weak and stable state, and the downstream market is in a weak position after entering the off-season, and some enterprises are in a state of loss due to the high cost. It is expected that the chloroform market will run stably in a short period of time. Pay attention to the development of the cost side.

At the beginning of September, the shipment was smooth, and the trend of silicone DMC was positive

At the end of August, the market of silicone DMC has been rising. In September, the rise of raw material silicon metal gave strong support to silicone DMC. Silicone DMC continued to rise with strong power, good downstream demand, positive attitude of the industry, obvious mood of buying up and not buying down, increased stock and replenishment, smooth transmission of upstream and downstream supply and demand, and the market price continued to rise. As of August 8, the highest price increase of the factory has been nearly 900 yuan / ton compared with the end of August. The low-end quotation has risen to 16900 yuan / ton, with a large increase.

In terms of the current market situation, the overall trend of silicone DMC market is preferred. Although the market demand in recent two days has no advantage at the beginning of the month, the overall market demand is still above the rigid demand. In addition, many manufacturers are not making offers and limiting sales and other factors continue to push up the market price. The monomer factory has a compact list. It is expected that the silicone DMC market will continue to rise in the short term.

In terms of units, the overhaul of Zhongyan hongsifang ethylene glycol plant with an annual output of 300000 tons is nearing the end, and it is planned to restart around September 12; the 700 thousand ton ethylene glycol unit of Lotte in the United States has been damaged by the hurricane, so the shutdown time of the unit has been extended, and the restart time has not been determined.

3、 Analysis and prediction

This week due to poor shipment, so in a few consecutive weeks after the inventory, inventory rose again. Recently, there are few maintenance plans for domestic plants, and many new units are put into operation. However, due to the maintenance of downstream polyester, the expected output will be less than the previous stage. If the demand side can not be improved enough, the price of ethylene glycol will be difficult to get strong support.

1、 Domestic sodium pyrosulfite price trend chart

According to the monitoring of the business agency, the price of domestic sodium pyrosulfite rose sharply in September. On September 3, the average price of industrial sodium pyrosulfite was 1700 yuan / ton, which was 22.89% higher than the low in July.

In August, domestic soda ash and sulfur prices continued to rise. With the support of raw material costs, some manufacturers slightly focused on the market price of sodium sulfite. The domestic sodium pyrosulfite market price as a whole ended its continuous decline for nearly two years. In August, the overall sodium pyrosulfite bottomed out and rose by 6.02%. Affected by the continuous decline of domestic soda ash inventory, the price of domestic soda ash has been rising day by day or even more since the end of August. With the support of processing cost, domestic sodium metabisulfite enterprises have raised the factory price one after another, driving the domestic sodium pyrosulfite market price to rise sharply in September.

Since August, the prices of upstream products of sodium metabisulfite have risen in an all-round way. During the period from August 1 to September 3, the price of domestic light soda ash increased by 25.64%, the price of sulfur increased by 24.61%, and the cost of raw materials rose sharply, so the price of sodium metabisulfite increased significantly.

3、 Future forecast

Business agency analysts believe that soda ash, sulfur prices continue to rise substantially, supported by the cost of raw materials, it is expected that the market price of sodium pyrosulfite will still have some room for increase.
