Chloroparaffin prices fluctuate less

In January, the domestic chlorinated paraffin market was flat and the price fluctuated within a narrow range. The main varieties of chlorowax-52 at the end of the month are: Guangdong 6100-6500 yuan (ton price, the same below); Fujian 6000-6400 yuan; Zhejiang, Jiangsu 5900-6300 yuan; Henan 5900-6400 yuan; Shandong, Hebei 6000-6500 yuan. Chlorine wax-70 mainstream prices in 8200 ~ 9000 yuan, chlorine wax -42 mainstream prices in 6400 ~ 6800 yuan.

In January, the chlorinated paraffin market was a low season for consumption. In addition, there were New Year holidays and the Spring Festival holiday. Some chlorinated paraffin production companies and downstream businesses had holidays or reduced production. The effective working days were insufficient and the demand was shrinking. Moreover, the general PVC market is faltering and has an adverse effect on chlorinated paraffin products. Chlorinated paraffin production and sales remained low in January. Most manufacturers implement a full-scale production marketing strategy with limited inventory. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers use chlorinated paraffin waxes from Inner Mongolia and other places to produce chlorinated paraffin. The quality of the products is uneven, which has a negative impact on the market. The chlorine wax-70 product as a flame retardant has a good development prospect. In the relatively low market, some manufacturers still maintain a certain production, sales volume and market share.

The cost of chlorinated paraffins does not increase or decrease. At the end of January, the ex-factory price of Shenyang Paraffin Chemical Liquid Wax was 9,700 yuan, the ex-factory price of Jinxi Petroleum Fifth Plant was 9,800 yuan, and the ex-factory price of Fushun Petroleum Third Factory was 10,000 yuan. ** Prices continue to drop. In late January, the ex-factory price in North China was between 100 and 800 yuan, in eastern China the ex-factory price was between 100 and 700 yuan, in southern China the ex-factory price was between 300 and 1,400 yuan, and in the northeast China, the ex-factory price was between 700 and 900 yuan.

In February, the chlorinated paraffin market was still in the off-season. In particular, there was a gradual recovery of the production process after the post-holiday downstream business vacation. It is expected that the market will be difficult to pick up. Since the production and operation of chlorinated paraffins by most manufacturers are carried out under the conditions of capital preservation or low profit, there is little room for price fall. The price will stabilize in February. At the end of January, the inventory of chlorinated paraffins from most manufacturers was modest, and chlorinated paraffin market pressure was limited in February.
