A specific plant in East China has not yet confirmed its restart schedule within the month; the industry is primarily operating under reduced loads and low opening rates. Sales of Fluoro Refrigerant R125 are mainly conducted through blended packaging and distribution. Offers for Fluoro Refrigerants R410A and R507A in East China remained firm, with the center of gravity for mainstream transaction prices showing relative stagnation. Bulk shipments were limited, while small-package sales adopted bundling strategies to actively move inventory. Chempricehub forecasts that in the short term, the Fluoro Refrigerant R125 market will maintain a wait-and-see dynamic between supply and demand, with firm offers and subsequent prices likely trending toward weak stability.

Anhydrous Hydrofluoric Acid Market: The domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market declined today within its range. During the tender pricing period, bearish sentiment was strong among participants, with the pricing center currently concentrated at 14,500–14,600 yuan/ton. The Shandong market continues to be affected by supply gaps, keeping overall sentiment relatively firm, with the pricing center concentrated at 15,000–15,100 yuan/ton. The "South High, North Low" pattern remains intact. As of press time, the mainstream delivered price for the domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market in October is referenced at 14,500–14,600 yuan/ton, while the Shandong market is referenced at 15,000–15,100 yuan/ton.
Tetrachloroethylene Market: The tetrachloroethylene market operated steadily. The average price in the East China market this week was 2,650 yuan/ton, up 3.11% from the previous period. Current tetrachloroethylene prices are at relatively low levels, prompting downstream users and traders to replenish inventories moderately, while producer stocks remain controllable. Coupled with significant cost pressures on producers, corporate offers have remained steady. However, current producer operating rates are stable, indicating a loose supply situation. Looking ahead, amid the tug-of-war between supply and demand, the domestic tetrachloroethylene market is expected to continue consolidating, with attention focused on future news developments.
