The downstream rubber additives market was stable, the start-up of accelerators was low, and demand support was limited. Under the influence of policies, the downstream tire industry had a low start-up and overall demand was weak.

Market outlook

From SunSirs’ point of view, the market continued to decline and negative factors increased. The current downstream demand is still difficult to greatly improve. It is expected that the MIBK market will be weak and fluctuating in the short term.
