As of September 10, 2026, the theoretical production gross profit of pure acrylic emulsion this week was RMB 349/mt, up RMB 94.5/mt, or 37.13%, week on week. The theoretical production gross profit of styrene-acrylic emulsion was -RMB 514.16/mt, down RMB 63.6/mt, or 14.12%, week on week. This was mainly because butyl acrylate and styrene feedstock prices moved higher during the week, continuing to pressure the cost side for styrene-acrylic emulsion and narrowing the profitability of acrylic emulsions.
Sample notes: On the data release date, Chempricehub Information uses the prices of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsions and the listed prices of raw materials to monitor theoretical costs and profits.
Definitions: Cost: Production cost is the sum of direct expenses, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred by an enterprise to produce a specified type and quantity of product. The production cost of acrylic emulsion refers to the theoretical production cost derived from the three major raw materials (butyl acrylate, MMA, and styrene).
Profit: Production profit calculated on the basis of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsion prices, i.e., the profit remaining after deducting total costs and additional expenses (excluding financial expenses) from the pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsion prices.
Statistical scope: The statistical period runs from last Friday to this Thursday, and compares profit data for this Thursday and last Thursday. Chempricehub Information’s profit data for acrylic emulsion products are first-hand statistics, released on workdays every Thursday from 15:00 to 17:00.
