[price summary] pc/abs alloy: Weak Upstream Monomer Trends and Downstream Demand-Based Purchasing Pressure Market Sentiment

Today, Zhuhai Senhong updated the ex-factory prices for its TO series PC/ABS materials, with product prices showing clear differentiation according to formulation and performance grades. The general-purpose non-flame-retardant grade TO-2300 is quoted at RMB 11,500/ton, while the black grade TO-2300BK carries a premium of RMB 300/ton. The electroplating grade TO-630 is quoted at RMB 13,300/ton. The high-end halogen-free flame-retardant grades TO-3100 and TO-3100BK are quoted at RMB 13,800/ton and RMB 14,100/ton, respectively, with a uniform premium of RMB 300/ton for black grades of the same series.

Cost-side functional additives are pushing up prices for electroplating-grade and halogen-free flame-retardant materials, which are better aligned with rigid demand from automotive and new energy electronics applications and therefore show stronger resistance to price declines. Ordinary non-flame-retardant materials are mainly used in traditional home appliances, where demand remains weak. Manufacturers are offering negotiated pricing for large-volume orders in an effort to concede margins and move inventory. With upstream monomer trends staying soft and downstream buyers purchasing only as needed, the short-term PC/ABS market remains under pressure, while price declines for high-end specialty materials may be relatively limited.
