Price trends of glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, soda ash, and caustic soda flakes

Glacial Acetic Acid
Yesterday, the price of glacial acetic acid rose, with factories continuing to raise prices. New long-term contracts are gradually being signed, and downstream users are mainly fulfilling long-term contracts. Longzhong Information predicts that the price of glacial acetic acid may continue to rise in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Yesterday, the price of ethyl acetate saw a narrow range of adjustment. The price of raw material acetic acid continued to rise, supporting the bottom-fishing mentality of industry players. However, downstream market activity was limited, with raw material inventories waiting to be depleted and ample supply, leading some factories to have pent-up demand. Longzhong predicts that the price of ethyl acetate will continue to adjust narrowly today.

Butyl Acetate
Yesterday, the price of butyl acetate saw a slight downward adjustment. The price trend of raw material n-butanol remains the absolute factor influencing market sentiment. Recently, its transaction center has declined significantly, resulting in weak market participation. However, some export orders are still being fulfilled, limiting the downside potential. Longzhong predicts that the price of butyl acetate will mainly adjust within a range today.

soda ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market stabilized, with reduced transactions. A few companies were willing to negotiate on actual orders. The plants are operating stably, with some recently resuming operations. Downstream demand is lukewarm, with low purchasing intentions and inquiries focused on low prices.

caustic soda flakes

Yesterday, the domestic caustic soda flake market maintained previous trading levels. Actual transactions for some manufacturers remained stable, while trading companies actively participated in the market. It is expected that caustic soda flake prices will stabilize after a short-term rise, with relatively strong market confidence and good manufacturer shipments. The focus will be on the negotiation status of monthly liquid caustic soda orders from major downstream users in Shanxi and Henan provinces.
