The price of hydrofluoric acid has fallen in steps

　　In recent months, the domestic hydrofluoric acid market has been weak, and the price has shown a step-by-step decline
.
As of early August, the price of hydrofluoric acid fell to 10,800 yuan (ton price, the same below), a cumulative decrease of 950 yuan or 8.
1% from the high point in late May
.

　　Industry analysts believe that the main reason for the decline in the price of hydrofluoric acid is that the downstream demand is relatively sluggish
.
Downstream refrigerant manufacturers produce in general, and the overall market remains at a low level
.
The price of refrigerant R22 fell from 17,600 yuan to 17,000 yuan, and the price of R134a fell from 24,100 yuan to 21,000 yuan, both hitting new lows in stages
.
At present, the high price of the refrigerant market is sluggish, the market sentiment is not good, and the eagerness of enterprises to ship is obvious, and the actual transaction is more profitable
.
The downstream refrigerant market was sluggish, and as a result, the price of hydrofluoric acid declined
.

　　In addition, the sharp drop in the price of raw material sulfuric acid also contributed to the decline of the hydrofluoric acid market
.
The price of sulfur plummeted, from the highest price of more than 4,000 yuan to less than 1,000 yuan, driving the price of sulfuric acid to drop sharply, from 1,180 yuan in early May to the current 556 yuan, a drop of 52.
9% in three months
.

　　However, the market of fluorite, another raw material of hydrofluoric acid, is currently showing an upward trend
.
This slowed the decline of hydrofluoric acid
.
Due to the tight supply of raw ore and the increase in exports, the spot of fluorite was slightly tight and prices rose
.
At present, the mainstream price of fluorite in domestic negotiations has risen to 2700~2800 yuan, which is about 50 yuan higher than that in early July
.

　　Regarding the market outlook, the business agency analyzed that the price of raw material fluorite rose slightly, but the sulfuric acid market fell
.
Recently, some domestic hydrofluoric acid units have not been started, and the downstream refrigerant market is sluggish
.
The favorable and unfavorable factors in the hydrofluoric acid market are intertwined, and the short-term price is expected to be temporarily stable
