In the near future, due to the continuous sharp rise in raw material costs and the limited supply caused by power and production restrictions in some areas, the recent high-level operation of bulk commodity prices will continue.

With the wave of price increases, more and more companies have announced price increases, including the rubber industry. The raw material market is getting fierce day by day.

Starting this year, Ethylene-propylene has finished fluorine rubber, fluorine rubber has finished silica gel, silica gel has finished chloroprene, carbon black, ethylene-propylene continues to increase, and small materials increase, all of which are big increases.

Based on the current market situation, many companies dare not buy in large quantities nor dare to take orders in large quantities. Raw materials are priced at one price a day. If the order is received today, the price of raw materials may rise again tomorrow. In addition, the customer's payment is not timely, so the funds are also very limited. In addition, the market inventory has dropped sharply, the arrival of high-end products has been blocked, domestic and foreign companies have encountered force majeure, and the imbalance between supply and demand has been severe.... This kind of influence is gradually transmitted downwards, which will cause more and more factories in the industrial chain to supply sources. Scarce.

Material price hikes, power cuts and production shutdowns. After all the accumulations are superimposed, when the market pressure limit explodes, a large number of companies have superimposed with the sharp decline in profits, financial pressures such as loans, bank urges, etc. Now what everyone has to consider is not Profitability, but to think about the issue of survival.

Analysis of the reasons for the price increase of fluorine rubber

Since the fourth quarter of 2020, the price of raw fluororubber raw materials has continued to rise sharply, mainly due to the shortage of raw materials hexafluoropropylene and 142B (the main monomer of vinylidene fluoride), and the production capacity of domestic fluororubber raw rubber manufacturers is limited. The fluoropolymer PVDF (vinylidene fluoride resin) has soared due to the sharp increase in demand in the lithium battery industry, which occupies a large share of the production of fluororubber raw rubber, resulting in a serious shortage of production capacity and supply of raw rubber manufacturers. Most raw fluororubber suppliers The supply of goods is extremely tight, and the above factors have caused the price of fluorine rubber raw rubber to continue to rise. The current price increase of raw rubber has more than doubled. It is expected that it will not be alleviated for a long time in the future, and the price will continue to rise.
