Refrigerant Market Morning Briefing (September 10, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-10

I. Key Focus

  1. In September, mainstream factories in the East China market referenced HF procurement tender pricing at 15,100-15,200 yuan/ton delivered.
  2. The trichloroethylene market remained rangebound in a standoff, with September contract pricing referenced at 4,800 yuan/ton.

Core logic: The operating rate of R134a fluorinated refrigerant units in the East China market was around 60%, and R134a fluorinated refrigerant transactions were at high levels.

II. Price Table

R22 East China 23,000-24,000 23,000-24,000 0/0

Remarks: 1. The RMB prices above are mainstream ex-works reference prices in the East China market. 2. The prices for the two periods are point-in-time prices on two adjacent working days, not daily average prices. 3. The change value is the change between two adjacent working days.

III. Market Outlook

As of press time, mainstream factories in the East China market quoted domestic R134a fluorinated refrigerant at 65,000-70,000 yuan/ton ex-works (domestic and export quotations synchronized), flat compared with yesterday. Mainstream ex-works prices for R134a fluorinated refrigerant in the East China market were referenced at around 63,500-65,000 yuan/ton, with the price range remaining at a high level. As of press time, mainstream factories remained committed to controlling volume to support prices, market sentiment was strongly wait-and-see, and transactions remained to be negotiated. R134a fluorinated refrigerant units in the East China market continued to operate, with the overall production load across the industry at 40%; supply was ensured for major customers and OEMs, export market orders were gradually being received, and actual transactions were pending conclusion. Chempricehub Information predicts: High-level quotations in the domestic R134a fluorinated refrigerant market will remain firm, and demand-side news guidance should be watched.

    I see R134a holding high on ~60% capacity utilization and steady HF feedstock cost; near-term risk is downstream demand staying soft, keeping other refrigerants rangebound. No advice.
