Today is the last day of August,2002, let us talking about some information about pigment and its raw materials.

 

1. World Economy Crisis: As the war is going on, US dollars interests rate raised by FR, the epidemic not finished, the drought and flood in different countries, our Earth are facing serious problem , economic crisis is spreading now, no country can keep themselves out of affair.

2.Crude Oil and Gas: Although world class economy crisis is coming, the price of crude oil and gas which related to the chemicals industry keep higher level and the gas price maybe go up to new high level as winter coming. High price will bring more serious influence on chemical industry producing. It is a huge blow for the difficult industrial consumables market. 

3.China Pigment Situation: Very low market demand made many factory stopped to avoid high temperature and power supplying limited influence. Now some pigment raw materials are selling with lost price even caused by depressed market also. And now some raw materials stock have run out already, and it will take some time to destocking for pigment.

 

 

Based on A/M situations, how is pigment and its raw materials going? 

 

1. DCB: As low market requirement, DCB price are keeping going down now because its raw materials ONCB price decrease much. In September, the price maybe go to new low of this round decrease. I can’t image  how much is the bottom of this round.

 

2. AAA series products: This series  price now is low, as stock running out and its raw material Acetic Acid and Aniline price is a little up, the series price will go up a little , not so much due to the low market demand.

 

But AAOA and Red B Base price will go down due to the price of their raw material same situation as ONCB

 

3. Naphthalene series, 2B,4B acid and other red raw materials: Price will be stable or a little up and down according to different market requirements. But once demand turn better , the red raw material will go up following their cost of raw material.

 

4. Yellow phosphorus: The price went up a lot due to the stop of its production by limited power supplying. But market power strong enough to make Red 122 price are keeping stable or a little down with big volume order.

 

 

Conclusion: Yellow and Orange igment price will go down , buy what your need. Red and other pigment  price will be stable . But if your order volume is big, all the pigment price can be negotiated and buying stock time maybe is on the way and coming soon.
