Market dynamics of rubber chemicals recently

Last week, there was a significant change in the average prices of various chemicals:

1. MIBK price increase: The average price of MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone) has increased by $76 per ton

2. The price of acetone remains stable

3. The prices of aniline and pure benzene remain stable

4. Price increase of cyclohexylamine: The average price of cyclohexylamine has increased by $41 per ton

5. The prices of other auxiliary raw materials are basically stable

The cost of raw materials remains high, and the profit squeeze of intermediate M is obvious. There was an increase last week, while other mainstream promoters remained stable and slightly increased. At present, the accelerator market is maintaining a lukewarm and lukewarm trend. Although production factories have a strong willingness to raise prices under the influence of high raw material prices, it is difficult to support downstream production. The production of all steel is average, and the inventory of car tires has significantly increased. It is expected that the prices of accelerators will remain stable in the near future.

The overall demand for anti-aging agents remains flat, and factory prices continue to remain stable under cost support. There is room for negotiation on actual transaction prices in the market. At present, the raw material MIBK continues to rise, and the profit margin of antioxidant 4020 is further compressed. Antioxidant RD closely follows the trend of aniline. It is expected that the price of anti-aging agents will continue to remain stable next week.

Maintain sufficient supply of insoluble sulfur and maintain stable prices; The price of zinc oxide has slightly decreased, while the price of stearic acid continues to rise driven by oil. The prices of silane coupling agents and anti coking agents continue to remain stable.
