In recent years, the foaming products industry has been booming, especially the emerging interior wall panels, bathroom panels, etc., which are favored by the market due to their high cost performance, exquisite design, and environmental protection and durability.

With the recent rise in the price of raw materials, the prices of these foamed panels have inevitably ushered in rising prices. The

At present, the domestic market price of methyl methacrylate has reached a high level within ten years, and the overall supply level of the market is becoming more and more tense. The overall trading atmosphere of real single-exchange shows a trend of high prices, and the overall low-cost supply is difficult to find. The prices in the domestic mainstream market are maintained at around 25,000-26,000 yuan/ton, and the overall low-cost supply is difficult to find.

Recently, at home and abroad, the methyl methacrylate production equipment has been frequently overhauled and stopped. In addition, the tight market price of cracked material has been rising at a high level, and the market price of PMMA sheet metal has steadily increased. Therefore, it is expected that the domestic methyl methacrylate market price will continue to be late. Breaking through the highest price in history, the sharp rise is a foregone conclusion!

Especially in April, domestic and foreign double methyl ester maintenance manufacturers are very concentrated.

In Europe, the British Lucite plans to stop for maintenance for sixty days starting in April, and Germany’s Evonik plans to stop and repair for ten days from April. In other parts of Asia, Japan’s Mitsubishi Chemical planned to stop for maintenance for 90 days starting in April. South Korea’s Lotte Chemical planned to stop for maintenance for 10 days in April, and Singapore’s Lucite’s planned shutdown for 10 days starting in April.

In China, Huiling Huacheng planned to stop and repair for a period of approximately 55 days near April 10. Shandong Hongxu plans to stop and repair for 15 days in April. Jilin Petrochemical plans to stop and repair it for 20 to 45 days starting in May.

Since the domestic and overseas methyl methacrylate-related main production facilities are in the state of centralized shutdown maintenance between April and May, it is expected that the overall supply level of the methyl methacrylate market will become more tense between April and May and it will be difficult to obtain In the background, market prices may show a trend of soaring movements.

Secondly, raw material for methyl methacrylate cracking material is insufficient, supply is tight, market prices have soared, and the market demand for accelerated new methacrylic acid materials is becoming more urgent.

Since July 2017, China has banned the import of foreign waste. Since the supply of raw materials for methyl methacrylate cracking materials in China has been insufficient, the supply of goods in the market has been drastically reduced, and the price has experienced an explosive rise. At present, the domestic market price of methyl methacrylate cracking material has climbed to 22,000 yuan/ton or more, and the overall supply level is very scarce, and the price has steadily increased. Affected by this, more and more downstream terminal manufacturers have recently begun to increase the purchase of new materials for methyl methacrylate, exacerbating the increasingly tense atmosphere of the overall supply of methyl methacrylate new material market in the near future.

In view of this, pure ester ACR foaming regulators, as an important raw material for foamed sheets, also directly bring about the price increase of foamed sheets. Many people in the foam board industry have feedback not only that raw material prices are high, but also that they are faced with difficulties in obtaining goods and have the money to buy goods. They had to follow the pace of raw materials to adjust prices and re-arrange the market's upstream and downstream structures.

According to the ACR market, the price will be high in April and May, when people face a high price, they will have to complain less and complain more about the situation. After all, getting the goods to maintain production is the king! In order to continue to develop! , Let the whole industry virtuous cycle!
