Market outlook

The chlorinated paraffin analyst of SunSirs thinks that the current transaction of chlorinated paraffin is not good, and the downstream mainly depends on rigid demand. The cost side price of raw materials remains unchanged and at a high level. It is expected that in the later stage, the chlorinated paraffin market as a whole will be stuck in operation and the price will be stable.
