In addition, on July 26, Mitsubishi Chemical also announced that it will increase the price of bisphenol A (BPA) starting on August 20, with an increase of more than 20 yen/kg (about 1176 CNY/ton).
It's not just that foreign bisphenol A factories announced price increases, but the domestic price of bisphenol A has remained high for a long time, and prices have maintained a "small drop and big increase" trend.
This week, Zhejiang Petrochemical's second-brand bisphenol A bidding price started from 26,000, and the premium was 1,150 CNY/ton after 7 rounds. Supported by this good news, the market is quite upbeat. On August 19, the domestic price of bisphenol A soared to around 28,000 CNY/ton, a single-day increase of 800 CNY/ton.
Biphenol A has soared, the epoxy resin market will inevitably go up, and a new round of price increases is coming. Can the downstream be calm?
