The price of hydrofluoric acid is a staircase decline

In recent months, the domestic hydrofluoric acid market has been weak, and prices have shown stepped staircase. As of early August, the price of hydrofluoric acid fell to 10,800 yuan (ton price, the same below), a total of 950 yuan compared with the high point in late May, a decrease of 8.1%.

According to industry analysts, the main reason for the decline in the price of hydrofluoric acid is the low demand. The production of downstream refrigerant manufacturers is general, and the overall market conditions are maintained at a low level. The price of refrigerant R22 fell from 17,600 yuan to 17,000 yuan, and the price of R134A fell from 24,100 yuan to 21,000 yuan, which hit a new low -stage low. At present, the high -priced transaction of the refrigerant market is weak, the market is not good, the enterprise is eager to ship the psychology, and the actual transaction is more profitable. The downstream refrigerant market is sluggish, affected by this, the price of hydrofluoric acid declines.

In addition, the sharp decline in the price of sulfuric acid in raw materials has also promoted the decline in the hydrofluoric acid market. Sulfur prices plummeted, from a maximum price of more than 4,000 yuan to less than 1,000 yuan, and the price of sulfuric acid has also declined sharply. From 1180 yuan in early May to 556 yuan, 3 months fell 52.9%.

However, another raw material fluorite market for hydrofluoric acid has appeared on the rise. This slows down the felling rate of hydrofluoric acid. Due to the tight supply of raw ore and the increase in exports, fluorite spot is slightly tense and prices have risen. At present, the mainstream price of domestic fluorite discussions has risen to 2700 ~ 2800 yuan, which is about 50 yuan from early July.

Regarding the market outlook, the analysis of business clubs believes that the price of raw material fluorite rises slightly, but the sulfuric acid market has fallen. Recently, some domestic hydrofluoric acid devices have not drove, and the downstream refrigerant market is sluggish. The hydrofluoric acid market is favorable and the factor is intertwined, and the short -term price is expected to be temporarily stable.
