In general, although the products related to powder coatings will fluctuate in a short period of time, due to weak demand and production cost support, the prices between May and June remained stable or slightly increased. It is expected that when the epidemic situation turns good, the price of raw materials such as TGIC HAA polyester resin will increase smoothly after the central government's measures to stabilize the economy and ensure growth are put in place.
As I have been analyzing before, at present, the general profit of TGIC factories is very low, close to 10%. Relatively speaking, the price is at the bottom, so it is possible to purchase in advance in an appropriate amount on demand.
The price of ethylenediamine, the main raw material of HAA, is stable at present. With the preparation of RMB, the export price will decrease steadily in the next 1-2 months, so it can be purchased on demand.
If there is a purchasing demand, you can place an order in advance to prevent a sudden price increases. This is mainly related to the insufficient supply of isobutyraldehyde, the upstream raw material of polyester resin. In fact, because isobutyraldehyde is only a by-product in the production of butyl octanol, the main domestic chemical enterprises are basically in a situation of oversupply of butyl octanol, so the expansion of isobutyraldehyde production is restricted, and it is difficult for isobutyraldehyde to expand directly like TGIC. Therefore, the supply of isobutyraldehyde has been very tight in recent years, and the situation is difficult to solve in a short time. It will be bullish for some time to come.
Bisphenol A, the main raw material of epoxy resin, rose slightly this week, and epichlorohydrin rose rapidly by 6% this week after the raw material propylene/glycerin stopped falling and rebounded. As the upstream raw material cost support and downstream demand began to increase, resin manufacturers have strong price expectations. However, considering that the demand side has not improved, there is relatively limited room for the price increase at present. The quotation of solid epoxy resin E12 is about FOB $3,135 ~ $3,200/ton; The quoted price of liquid epoxy resin E51 is about $3650-$3700/ton.
