Analysis review

This week, the market price of chlorinated paraffin mainly declined. The prices of raw material liquid chlorine and liquid wax continued to fall this week, and the cost support was insufficient. Downstream demand was sluggish, and most purchases were made on demand, with few deals. The manufacturer reduced the price for shipment in order to digest the inventory, and the market focus of chlorinated paraffin moved downward.

Market outlook

The chlorinated paraffin analysts of SunSirs believe that the current market of chlorinated paraffin raw materials is not good, and the cost support is weakened. The downstream demand is weak, the on-site delivery is less, and the manufacturer's shipment is not smooth. Due to the overall poor performance of the raw material side and the demand side, it is expected that the market of chlorinated paraffin will continue be weak in the short term.
