Previously, the overall domestic R22 had already risen to a high level. In addition, as the end of the month approaches, the remaining quota quantity of enterprises is generally low, and the downstream demand in China is relatively stable. The market supply and demand have entered a stalemate, Starting from the latter half of the year, the overall domestic R22 market price remains stable and moves forward.

 

In September, the domestic price of trichloroethylene continued to rise, while the price of hydrofluoric acid continued to be strong. The cost of raw materials continued to rise, and supported by the rebound in demand for foreign trade orders, the overall price of R134a in China continued to rise in September.
