Recently, the chemical market opened a “dragon and tiger” road of rise, resin industry chain, emulsion industry chain and other chemical prices rose in general.
Resin industry chain
Anhui Kepong resin, DIC, Kuraray and many other domestic and foreign chemical companies announced price increases for resin products, polyester resin and epoxy resin industry chain of raw materials also increased prices, the highest increase of 7,866 yuan / ton.

Bisphenol A: quoted at 19,000 yuan/ton, up 2,125 yuan/ton from the beginning of the year, or 12.59%.

Epichlorohydrin: quoted at 19,166.67 yuan / ton, up 3,166.67 yuan / ton from the beginning of the year, or 19.79%.

Epoxy resin: liquid offer 29,000 yuan / ton, up 2,500 yuan / ton, or 9.43%; solid offer 25,500 yuan / ton, up 2,000 yuan / ton, or 8.51%.

Isobutyraldehyde: quoted at 17,600 yuan/ton, up 7,866.67 yuan/ton, or 80.82% from the beginning of the year.

Neopentyl glycol: quoted at 18,750 yuan / ton, up 4,500 yuan / ton compared with the beginning of the year, or 31.58%.

Emulsion industry chain

Badrich, Hengshui Xinguang New Materials, Guangdong Henghe Yongsheng Group and other emulsion leaders frequently sent letters announcing product price increases, benzene propylene class, waterproof elastic class, high-grade pure propylene class, real stone paint class and other products generally rose 600-1100 yuan / ton. Emulsion raw materials such as styrene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and many other chemicals also appeared to rise, the highest rise of 3,800 yuan / ton.

Styrene: quoted at RMB 8960/ton, up RMB 560/ton or 6.67% from the beginning of the year.

Butyl acrylate: quoted at 17,500 yuan/ton, up 3,800 yuan/ton from the beginning of the year, an increase of 27.74%.

The products of the general chemical industry chain, with the price of petroleum products at the source end pushing up, these products are conducted down at one level, driving up the prices of emulsions, resins and other products.

At the same time, due to the supply chain is blocked, a box is difficult to find, lack of core, lack of cabinets and lack of labor and other production factors shortages, coupled with the substantial increase in international commodity prices, more and more chemical companies operating difficulties increased, production costs rose significantly, the decline in investment confidence, just demand for procurement has not fully recovered, and the higher prices of chemicals is only the upstream “wishful thinking” pull up.
