This week, refrigerant market prices of raw materials rising superimposed plant production cuts, driven by refrigerant prices. Weekly market features: Raw material market fluorite powder, hydrofluoric acid production and sales weak, prices temporarily stable; Methane chloride was affected by plant production reduction and shutdown, supply tightening and stronger cost support drove up the price; Tetrachloroethylene production and marketing weakness, narrow price consolidation; The contradiction between supply and demand of other raw material products was eased, and the prices were raised in different amplitude; Upstream raw material price adjustment also pull the general rise in refrigeration prices. In the short term, refrigerant production and sales are still in the off-season, with light transactions and slow recovery of domestic and foreign markets; However, factories mainly produce according to demand, the industrial operating rate remains low, the supply side continues to tighten, the overall weak balance between supply and demand, and the contradiction…

Instead of the three-year “quota battle”, the refrigerant industry will finally usher in the “spring”.According to the monitoring data of Bachuan Yingfu, from 13,300 yuan per ton at the beginning of this year to more than 14,300 yuan per ton on February 22, since 2023, the mainstream third generation refrigerant R32 rose by more than 10%. In addition, many other models of the third generation of refrigerant prices have increased to varying degrees. Recently, several senior executives of listed fluorine chemical companies told Shanghai Securities News that the refrigerant industry is expected to see a turnaround in 2023, and with the economic recovery and the continuous expansion of downstream application scenarios, the refrigerant market demand is expected to continue to improve in the next few years.Capital Securities said in the latest research report, the third generation of refrigerant base period is expected to end in 2023, the industry is expected…

R22 Refrigerant Gas Difluoromethane, also known as difluoromethane, freon-22, abbreviated as HCFC-22, chemical formula CHClF2, is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon containing hydrogen, colorless gas with a slight sweet smell. Freon is a general term for halogenated derivatives of saturated hydrocarbons (hydrocarbons). It is a class of refrigerants that emerged with the development of the chemical industry in the 1930s. It is mainly used as raw material for preparation of tetrafluoroethylene and refrigerant, spray, pesticide production materials, etc. Difluoro-chloromethane is one of the gases that have a damaging effect on the ozone layer (ODP) and a greenhouse effect (GWP). (The ODP of R22 refrigerant is 0.034, GWP is 1760, and ASHRAE safety level is A1.) According to the Montreal Protocol, it has ceased to be used and produced in developed countries, and can still be produced in developing countries, but its production and use deadline is 2030. Main environmental alternatives :R404A, R410A, R290,…
