Morning Market Alert for Epichlorohydrin

Published on 2026-09-22

I. Key Focus Areas

  1. Glycerin (99.5%): Prices in East China continued to trend downward, with delivery prices hovering around RMB 9,050–9,250 per ton. (Note: Corrected apparent typo "92150" to "9250" based on market context and table data)
  2. Epichlorohydrin (ECH): ECH prices declined, with Jiangsu market delivery prices settling around RMB 11,200–11,300 per ton (acceptance basis).
  3. Epoxy Resins: Despite some cost support, high-price shipments faced pressure, leading to a decline in epoxy resin prices.

Core Logic: Cost support for ECH is weakening. Combined with insufficient follow-through from downstream demand, manufacturers are facing obstacles in selling at high prices. Consequently, new orders are being secured through price concessions, resulting in limited transaction volume releases.

    Weak downstream demand and fading cost support are squeezing ECH margins, forcing producers into price concessions to clear inventory. With transaction volumes limited, I expect continued pressure on capacity utilization..
