Morning Market Briefing: Isopropanol

Published on 2026-11-11

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Yesterday, the negotiated price for acetone in the East China market was 8,350 RMB/ton, a day-on-day decrease of 225 RMB/ton.
  2. Yesterday, Lihua Yiweiyuan’s external quote for isopropanol was 9,000 RMB/ton.

Core Logic: Monitor raw material market prices and demand follow-up conditions.

Acetone East China 8,350 8,575 -2.62%

The two price periods represent point-in-time prices from the previous two working weeks prior to this week, not weekly averages. 4. The change rate reflects the period-over-period percentage change.

III. Market Outlook

It is expected that the isopropanol market will maintain range-bound fluctuations today, as participants wait and see regarding raw material trends and demand developments.
