Organic Pigments

Pigment Yellow 12, Pigment Yellow 13, Pigment Yellow 14, Pigment Yellow 17, Pigment Yellow 83, Pigment Orange 13, Pigment Orange16.

The possibility of subsequent price increases due to the DCB’s growth in demand for the main raw material —

o-nitro material as well as the phthalic anhydride, phenol, and aniline price continued to increase.

The DCB factory has stopped the external quotation at present because of the possibility of price rising.

Pigment Red 48:1, Pigment Red48:3, Pigment Red 48:4, Pigment Red 53:1, Pigment Red 57:1.

2B acid (the main raw material of Azo Pigments) prices are steady this week.

So the price of Azo pigment group will keep stable in the coming one week.

Pigment Yellow 180 & Pigment Orange 64

The raw material AABI still remains stable, however manufacturer may adjust the price (price reduction) next week due to the market being weak.

Pigment Red 122 & Pigment Violet 19

The price remains firm at present, but the yellow phosphorus price rises a little bit this week.

No clear sign of price increasing of both PR122 and PV19 in the coming week.

Phthalocyanine Pigments

Pigment Blue 15 series & Pigment Green 7

There is the probability that the subsequent price will also increase due to the main raw material 

(phthalic anhydride, cuprous chloride, ammonium lacrimal acid) prices rise this week.

Solvent Dyes

The dye market is still in a weak trend this week.

However, Solvent Red 23, Solvent Red 24, and Solvent Red 25 prices rise due to the basic raw materials (aniline, hydrochloric acid, liquid caustic soda, and o-toluidin).

Some raw material prices slowed down, such as PMP (1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolinone), 1,8-diaminos, 1-nitroanthraquinone, 1,4 dihydroxy anthraquinone, and DMF.

However, the solvent dye’s price is at low level and the probability of subsequent adjustment is relatively high due to demands increases in season 4 .
