According to the monitoring of the business community, the domestic price of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid rose slightly. As of the 12th day, the market price of hydrofluoric acid was 12757.14 yuan/ton, up 0.11% from the 5th day’s price of 12742.86 yuan/ton, up 0.29% year on year.

The price trend of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid in China has risen slightly. Recently, the temperature in the north has dropped sharply, and some devices have not been started. The spot supply of hydrofluoric acid is tight. The operating rate of hydrofluoric acid declined in the overhaul of some manufacturers in the south, which affected the price trend to rise. Up to now, the mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiation in the southern region is 12400-12700 yuan/ton, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in the northern market is 12500-12800 yuan/ton. In terms of export, the export price is higher than the domestic market price due to problems such as content and packaging. The export price is about 14000 yuan/ton.

The price of raw material fluorite rose this week. As of the 12th day, the average price of domestic fluorite was 3387.5 yuan/ton, 2.07% higher than the price of 3318.75 yuan/ton on the 5th day. Since April, the price of fluorite has risen unilaterally. Since the middle of October, the price has reached a high level. At present, the price is at the peak of the year. The operating rate of fluorite mines remains low. Mining enterprises are facing increasingly stringent safety and environmental protection requirements, resulting in insufficient operation of fluorite mines. There is a shortage of fluorite raw materials in China. The commencement of fluorite flotation is limited, and the spot supply is insufficient. In addition, the import of fluorite is limited. The epidemic situation in Inner Mongolia is serious, the transportation of fluorite is difficult, and the supply of fluorite is very tight. The cost of hydrofluoric acid drives the market up.

The market of the downstream refrigerant products of the terminal is average, and the operating rate of the refrigerant industry is maintained. At present, the price trend of refrigerant R22 is temporarily stable, the market supply is normal, and the demand for R22 market applications is guaranteed. The market quotation of R22 is in the range of 18000-19000 yuan/ton. The domestic R134a price fell slightly, the trichloroethylene price was temporarily stable, the cost support was still in place, and the R134a trading focus remained stable. At present, the R134a market quotation is in the range of 24,000-26,000 yuan/ton. Previously, downstream refrigerant enterprises were all trading at a loss in order to compete for HFC production quota. With the implementation of three generation refrigerant quota, the history of quota competition in the refrigerant industry is coming to an end, and the price of hydrofluoric acid is rising due to the cost.

In the future, the market of fluorine chemical industry has improved, the price of raw material fluorite has remained high, the price of sulfuric acid raw material has risen, and the price trend of downstream refrigerant products has temporarily stabilized. In addition, the domestic supply of hydrofluoric acid has been slightly strained recently, and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain have been well supported. Chen Ling, a hydrofluoric acid analyst from the business community, believes that the price trend of the hydrofluoric acid market may rise in the future.
