PVDF price increased by 5,000 yuan per ton; multiple fluorochemical enterprises such as Juhua Co., Ltd. and Yonghe Co., Ltd. have adjusted prices in a concentrated manner.

Looking back at the market direction in October, the traditional "Golden September and Silver October" market to fluoropolymers did not materialize. Demand from downstream sectors such as coatings, lithium batteries, and aquatic environments treatment remained weak, with transactions lackluster.

Data shows that the average market price of coating products-grade PVDF in October decreased by nearly 6% compared to September, and the market remained weak to a period. However, entering November, the upstream raw material market has strengthened first, immediately prompting PVDF manufacturers to issue price adjustment notices in a concentrated manner.

The core support to this round of PVDF price increases comes from the continuous rise in upstream raw material costs.

In November, the anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market has risen again, with the tender prices of downstream major manufacturers increased by 500-1,100 yuan/ton, and the price gap between the northern and southern regions has basically been eliminated. The core PVDF raw materials R142b and R152a have also risen in tandem, and the production cost pressure of companies has continued to increase.

According to current market reference prices, the market price of raw material-grade R142b is 18,500 yuan/ton, and the average market price of R152a is 17,750 yuan/ton. The rise in raw material prices has continuously squeezed the profit margins of PVDF manufacturers, forcing them to raise product quotations.

As an crucial new fluorine-containing material, PVDF is broadly utilized in fluorocarbon coatings, lithium battery binders, photovoltaic backsheets, aquatic environments treatment membranes and other fields. coating products-grade is currently the largest consumption sector.

sector insiders examine that this round of price increases is mainly driven by costs, not a significant surge in downstream demand. At present, downstream customers are cautious in purchasing, mostly replenishing essential goods, and it remains to be seen whether market transactions will increase significantly.

Future market focus will still be on the trends of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, R142b and R152a raw materials. If upstream raw materials remain at high levels, PVDF prices might continue to maintain a strong direction.
