China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report
Welcome to the June Issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report.
This report will help you stay ahead of the game in this fast-changing market with real-time reporting on the entire phosphorus industry chain, from raw materials to end consumption.
Here is the Editor's Note for you to know about the June issue specifically:
Prices of fluorochemical products were mixed in June 2021. Specifically, fluorite (CaF2>97%) prices edged down slightly and manufacturers were reluctant to sell their products at low prices due to high-level crude ore prices. Operating rates of downstream AHF and AlF3 maintained stability and customers mainly purchased fluorite on rigid demand. Some fluorite enterprises suspended production for maintenance or production line upgrading for crude ore prices were high and downstream demand was sluggish. AlF3 market scarcely changed. Sulphuric acid prices kept at a high level and prices were different among regions, but still giving support to AlF3 costs; AlF3 manufacturers restart production after overhaul and subsequently, market supply will pick up and become abundant. AlF3 demand from the downstream electrolytic aluminium market stayed stable. AHF market was depressed and prices maintained stability while showing a tendency to slip. Some manufacturers resumed production in this month after completing maintenance, but the overall operating rate did not recover as expected and thus the market supply was tight. R22 prices remained stable while showing an upward trend. Supply of trichloromethane became tight and prices went up, offering support to R22 costs; however, air-conditioner enterprises mainly bought R22 on rigid demand and the overall demand scarcely fluctuated. PTFE prices kept stable while showing a tendency to inch down; the overall demand was slack and downstream customers held wait-and-see attitudes. PTFE faced pressure under adequate market supply. PTFE prices are expected to remain stable or drop within a limited range.
Important market dynamics in June 2021
On 14 June, 2021, U.S. Department of Commerce announced its affirmative countervailing initial determination on R125 imported from China.
On 9 June, 2021, the official website of the People's Government of Taixing City disclosed the information of the new material technical renovation project (phase III) of Taixing Meilan New Materials Co., Ltd.
On 8 June, 2021, Zhejiang Yongtai Technology Co., Ltd. said during a research activity that the company's capacity of LiPF6 will reach 8,000 t/a by late this year with smooth follow-up work.
On 1 June, 2021, Shenzhen Capchem Technology Co., Ltd. announced that its subsidiary plans to build 2400 t/a LiFSI project with increased capital.
On 1 June, 2021, the information of Zhejiang Juhua Co., Ltd.'s 20,000 t/a HCFC-142b project (renovation project of 7,000 t/a HCFC-142b) was publicised.
The Import & Export data for May–June 2021 of China Customs has not come out yet. We will inform you of that once we receive it from the Customs.

DESCRIPTION
China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report provides you with real-time intelligence on China's fluorochemicals market.
It is a monthly published newsletter, which can be downloaded in PDF format. The subscription period is yearly, grants the subscriber 12 issues in total.
China is now a leading producer of a whole range of fluorochemicals. However, competition in the industry is shifting as traditional low- to mid-end product sectors such as hydrogen fluoride, aluminum fluoride and cryolite are suffering from severe overcapacity, while other markets such as PTFE, PVDF, LiPF6 and HFOs are developing rapidly. Meanwhile, the battle is heating up between the HFC and natural refrigerant industries as China transitions away from HCFCs.
