The accelerator production factory still focuses on delivering and stocking orders, with full production and signs of a halt in the decline of aniline. The ex factory price remains basically stable before the Spring Festival.

Similar to accelerators, new orders for anti-aging agents have been sold smoothly, and prices have remained weak and stable this week. The current situation of tight supply of anti-aging agents continues, and production factories have a strong willingness to raise prices. The inventory in the channel has not been fully consumed, and there is some room for negotiation on the transaction price. With the consumption of inventory, the actual transaction price of anti-aging agents is basically stable, and it is expected that there will be no significant fluctuations before the Spring Festival.

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