Data monitoring shows that the market of polyacrylamide (CPAM, cation, molecular weight of 12 million, ionic degree of 10-30) in China decreased slightly that week (December 20-24), that is, the mainstream market price on the 20th was about 17700 yuan / ton, and the mainstream market price on the 24th was about 17342.86 yuan / ton, a decrease of only 2.02%.

In October, the demand for urban fuel increased, the price of raw materials increased, the overhaul of liquid plants, the tightening of market supply and other multiple positive superposition, which boosted the increase of liquid price by nearly 30% and shifted the focus upward. Early November is the highest point of the year, and then the downlink channel is opened. The downward trend did not stop in December, and Xinjiang fell to around 2000 yuan.

At present, the supply of goods is relatively sufficient, the downstream demand is general, and the transaction is not prosperous. It is predicted that the trend of polyacrylamide will be stable in the future. If the price of raw materials continues to decline frequently, the polyacrylamide market is likely to decline.
