Dimethyl carbonate is an important organic compound with a wide range of uses. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with low toxicity and volatility, and is an excellent solvent and reaction intermediate.
Dimethyl carbonate is widely used in industry. First of all, it is an excellent solvent that can be used in coatings, inks, glues, resins and other fields. Secondly, dimethyl carbonate can also be used to prepare polycarbonate, which is an important polymer material widely used in plastics, fibers, electronic materials and other fields. In addition, dimethyl carbonate can also be used to prepare organic compounds such as medicines and pesticides, which has important application value.
Since November, the domestic dimethyl carbonate market has shown an overall trend of falling first and then stabilizing. Currently, there is insufficient effective support in the dimethyl carbonate market, and the overall dimethyl carbonate market price is at a low level and is consolidating.
Demand: At present, the follow-up of new orders from polycarbonate factories downstream of dimethyl carbonate is limited, and the purchasing sentiment of downstream electrolyte factories continues to be cold. The overall demand improvement is not good, and the support for dimethyl carbonate is limited.
On the supply side: At present, the dimethyl carbonate early maintenance equipment is still in a shutdown state, and the overall output and capacity utilization rate of the site have declined. However, due to insufficient demand, the overall supply side of dimethyl carbonate is still relatively abundant.
In terms of cost: the market for raw material propylene oxide is weak, and the cost support for dimethyl carbonate is also limited.
Market outlook trend analysis
Taken together, the current positive support for the dimethyl carbonate market is still weak. In the short term, the domestic dimethyl carbonate market price will mostly be weak and adjust within a narrow range. The specific trend requires more attention to the news changes on the supply and demand side.
