1、 Price trend

 

Sulfamic acid 99.50%

According to the monitoring of the bulk data of the business agency, affected by the continuous high price of liquid chlorine for raw materials, the market of chloroform in Shandong has risen sharply. As of November 4, the average price of chloroform in Shandong was about 2300 yuan / ton, up 15% compared with the beginning of the month and 21.05% higher than the same period of last month.

 

Production capacity and operation of the enterprise

Jinling, Shandong Province: 440000 tons / year, 50%

Dongying Jinmao 120000 tons / year parking

Luxi Chemical Industry: 400000 tons / year: 50%

Jiangsu Liwen 160000 tons / year normal

Jiangxi Liwen: 120000 tons / year: 50%

In recent years, the domestic chloroform market continued to rise, mainly due to the rising price of raw material liquid chlorine. At present, the production cost of chloroform enterprises in Shandong is under pressure, and the overall demand of downstream market is flat, so the enterprises are forced to reduce the operating load, and the overall operation of the industry is less than 60%. As the inventory of enterprises is in the acceptable range, the intention of raising prices is good. At present, the quotation of Shandong Province is about 2300 yuan / ton, that of Jiangxi Liwen is about 2350 yuan / ton, and that of Jiangsu Province is about 2650 yuan / ton.

 

In terms of raw materials, the domestic methanol market has been adjusted in a volatile way, with the current price of about 1902 yuan / ton. Some manufacturers continue to increase the ex factory quotation. Driven by the current futures, the international crude oil price rebounds, the equipment maintenance of production enterprises, low inventory, and the recovery of downstream demand and other factors are favorable. The favorable factors will remain in a short time, and traders are full of bullish mentality. Recently, the liquid chlorine market continues to rise, and the supply in Shandong is tight due to the impact of enterprise maintenance The price of liquid chlorine is high and firm, and the surrounding market is following the trend. At present, the mainstream quotation in the industry is about 1800-2000 yuan / ton.

 

In the downstream market, the market of refrigerants is running weakly and steadily, and the price is falling steadily. Downstream major air-conditioning manufacturers started low, the demand was scarce, the demand for foaming agent decreased, and the orders were not many, so the demand side was difficult to boost the market. The hydrofluoric acid industry in the raw material surface was stable, and there was no good signal. Although the quota decreased at the end of the year, the market was back to the buyer’s leading position, and the short-term market was still weak; the pharmaceutical and agricultural solvent industry started flat, and there was insufficient support for chloroform.

 

According to the methane chloride data of the business society, the domestic chloroform market is running stably for the time being. Enterprises are not starting high. The overall supply and demand of the industry are weak. The downstream market is mainly wait-and-see. In the future, we need to pay attention to the raw material market. It is expected that the price of chloroform will remain stable in a short period of time.
