Chemical giants are taking advantage of the situation to raise prices, what’s the market outlook like? You can pay attention to the industrial additive platform

Shouguang City, Shandong Province announced a production suspension notice, and the largest bromine giant announced a 30% price increase! According to local market insiders, the Shouguang Municipal People’s Government Office recently issued a notice on the winter production suspension and production restriction of bromine production companies. All bromine production companies in Shouguang will start from 8:00 on December 28, 2021 to February 2022. All production will be suspended at 8:00 on March 21st.

As soon as the news came out, it directly attracted the attention of the brominated flame retardant, refrigerant and other markets.

Brome is an important chemical raw material and is widely used in flame retardants, medicines, pesticides, oil fields and other industries . Currently, brominated flame retardants are the industry with the largest consumption of bromine, accounting for 50% of domestic bromine consumption More than 60%. According to different raw materials and processes, bromine can be divided into brine bromine and seawater bromine. Among them, the bromine content in seawater accounts for 99% of the total resources on the earth.

This production restriction and suspension will inevitably have an impact on the brominated flame retardant market. Affected by this, phosphorus Nitrogen flame retardants may also usher in new project opportunities.

To make matters worse, not long ago Tosoh Co., Ltd., Japan’s largest manufacturer of bromine and bromine derivatives, announced , will increase the selling prices of bromine and brominated flame retardants on December 10. Among them:

Brome and hydrobromic acid productsUpgrade25%;

FLAMECUT® Tetrabromobisphenol A flame retardant productsUpgrade30%.

Tetrahydrofuran: 700 euros/ton (approximately RMB 7,190/ton)

Polytetramethylene ether glycol (Polytetrafluoroether®): 700 euros/ton (approximately RMB 7,190/ton)

N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone: 1,000 euros/ton (approximately RMB 7,190/ton)
