Epichlorohydrin Morning Market Brief (September 18, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-18

I. Key Points

  1. East China 99.5% glycerol traded in a weak adjustment trend, with delivered prices hovering around RMB 9,150–9,250/ton.
  2. ECH prices declined, with Jiangsu market delivered acceptance (bank acceptance) prices ranging from RMB 11,400 to 11,500/ton.
  3. The primary raw material, Bisphenol A (BPA), continued its upward trend, strengthening cost support and pushing epoxy resin prices higher.

Core Logic: Cost support from ECH has slightly loosened. Coupled with insufficient downstream demand follow-through, manufacturers face obstacles in selling at high prices. New orders are being secured through price concessions, resulting in limited transaction volume release.

    I see ECH prices softening in East China due to weak downstream demand, forcing price concessions despite BPA cost support. Capacity utilization seems pressured as manufacturers struggle with limited transaction volumes...
