The rise and fall of raw material prices show each other, and mutual constraints have an impact on the price of NBR.

According to the business agency, Lanzhou Petrochemical’s 15000 ton nitrile rubber plant was shut down for maintenance on May 27, and it is planned to shut down for 25 days. Zhenjiang Nandi, Jinpu YINGSA and Ningbo shunze units are under normal operation.

From the downstream side, at present, the downstream factory mainly consumes the early inventory, with a small amount of inquiry on demand, and the overall sales volume of NBR is slightly flat.

It is expected that the NBR market will continue to be weak in the later stage, and some brands may slightly increase due to the impact of the plant shutdown.
