Glacial acetic acid
Although the operating load of acetic acid units is not satisfied, the overall supply is still sufficient. The enthusiasm of downstream inquiries and purchases has improved, but the increase in rigid demand is not obvious. The acetic acid market is expected to be stable today or may have an upward trend.
N-butanol
Domestic n-butanol market prices are on the rise, and mainstream factories are closed. It is reported that some devices were unexpectedly shut down during the weekend, and the market’s spot supply is tightening. In addition, the inventory of production plants is low, which has certain support for its price. Downstream users are more enthusiastic about inquiries. The supply of low-priced goods in the market is limited, and the focus is shifting to high-end products.
Butyl acetate
The market price of butyl acetate is rising steadily. The market prices of raw materials acetic acid and n-butanol have both shown an upward trend, and costs have reappeared in the face of market support. Boosted by the news, downstream enthusiasm for entering the market is acceptable. It is expected that the market price of butyl acetate may remain firm.
Dimethyl carbonate
The domestic dimethyl carbonate market is overall weak and falling. The trading atmosphere in the dimethyl carbonate market is light, the downstream demand support is weak, and the overall market transaction focus is moving downwards. At present, the overall support of the dimethyl carbonate market is average, and the transmission of supply and demand is relatively slow. It is expected that in the short term, the domestic dimethyl carbonate market will mainly adjust within a narrow range.
Propylene glycol
The domestic propylene glycol market is running weakly, the raw material cyclopropane has declined steadily, and the cost support has weakened. The supply-side maintenance equipment has been postponed to resume, and the supply remains loose for the time being. Some shipments are shipped at a profit, and the center of gravity has shifted slightly. The downstream atmosphere is not good and the wait and see situation is not good. The overall purchasing demand is limited, the co-production of dimethyl carbonate is operating stably, and the company’s comprehensive profits are upside down. In the short term, the domestic propylene glycol market is expected to remain in a wait-and-see stalemate, with the main focus being on actively accepting orders.
Isopropyl alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol market prices continued to fall last week. The current market conditions are light and the overall trading sentiment is poor. In the upstream acetone market, the prices of major acetone manufacturers have been significantly reduced, and cost support is weak. Traders are not very enthusiastic about buying goods, and their confidence in market prices is weak. Downstream traders are more on the sidelines and are cautious about actual orders. The upstream acetone market has fallen sharply, the propylene market price has dropped, dual raw materials have been weak, and cost support has been weak. The overall market demand is tepid, and downstream and traders are cautious in purchasing and wait and see. It is expected that the isopropyl alcohol market will be weak and consolidate in the short term.
