PTFE Resin: +30.11% (Strong Rally)
Driven by sustained increases in upstream fluorspar prices, PTFE market prices rebounded sharply. The Chemicalbook index showed a 60% volatility range over 30 days. Shandong suspended medium-particle quotes reached ¥45,500/MT on July 22. Short-term tight supply continues to support prices.
Carbon Fiber T700 (Domestic): -3% (Slight Decline)
On June 28, Zhongfu Shenying put three world-scale carbon fiber production lines into operation simultaneously, rapidly expanding capacity and intensifying market competition. Domestic T700 prices have fallen below the critical ¥100,000/MT level, now 15-20% lower than imported equivalents. Supply-side pressure is evident.
Silicon Carbide (98%): +1% (Slight Rise)
Ningxia-region silicon carbide prices showed a modest upward movement, supported by rising upstream coal prices and environmental production restrictions. Short-term cost support remains firm, with prices expected to remain stable to slightly firm.
Alumina: -2% (Slight Decline)
Xinjiang alumina bidding prices fell approximately ¥50/MT, with port inventories at 629,000 MT (up 2.4% weekly). Shanxi alumina producers face potential production halts due to safety inspections on red mud storage facilities, adding supply-side uncertainty.
Impact Analysis
Impact on Procurement Costs:
PTFE’s sharp price increase has directly raised costs for chemical anti-corrosion linings and seals — recommend locking in 2-3 months of inventory immediately
Carbon fiber T700’s continued decline benefits wind turbine blade and aerospace composite procurement — consider extending inventory buffers
Silicon carbide’s modest rise has limited impact on specialty ceramics and refractory material costs, but monitor Ningxia environmental policy developments
Impact on Supply Chain:
PTFE: Tight fluorspar supply cannot be resolved short-term; supplier lead times are extending — recommend extending inventory buffers from 30 to 45 days
Carbon Fiber: Domestic production capacity rising with 90% localization rate reduces import dependency and improves supply chain autonomy, but price competition is intensifying
PI Film: DuPont and other import brands maintain stable supply; domestic substitution is accelerating

1. Key Takeaways
EU REACH SVHC Candidate List expanded to 253 substances, up ~6 from 247 in 2025. SCIP notification and the 0.1% communication obligations widen accordingly.
China has entered a dense phase of mandatory GB standards: formaldehyde in wood-based panels (GB18580-2025), EV battery safety (GB38031-2025), and China RoHS phthalate expansion all became mandatory between H1 and mid-2026.
Recommended action: Immediately launch a full SVHC re-screening of raw materials and run a product-line self-audit against the new mandatory GB standards to avoid detention, return, or delisting.
2. EU REACH Update
Item

Policy Area
REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Candidate List
Latest Status
List expanded to 253 entries (247 in 2025)
Risk Level
Medium-High
Affected Parties
EU-exporting makers of electronics, textiles, packaging, auto parts, plastics/rubber
Impact: Any SVHC present above 0.1% (w/w) in an article triggers communication duties to downstream users and consumers. Above 1 tonne/year it also requires ECHA notification and SCIP database submission. Each expansion may render previously “compliant” products non-compliant.
3. China GB National Standards Update
Standard
Title
Effective
Key Points
GB 18580-2025
Formaldehyde emission limits for wood-based panels
2026-06-01
E0 grade upgraded from recommended to mandatory threshold
GB 38031-2025
Safety requirements for EV traction batteries
2026-07-01
Thermal runaway “no fire, no explosion”; new bottom-impact & post-fast-charge tests
China RoHS Amendment
Restricted substances in EEE (+4 phthalates)
2026-01-01
Adds DBP/DIBP/BBP/DEHP control
Impact: Three new-materials segments are directly hit: panels, battery materials, and EEE materials. Mandatory E0 phases out low-end adhesive formulations; the battery safety upgrade raises the bar for electrolytes, separators, and structural parts; the RoHS phthalate expansion requires re-validation of wiring harnesses, housings, and soft plastics.
4. Action Recommendations (for international clients & suppliers)
Full SVHC re-screening: Use the latest 253-entry list to check all purchased raw materials/semi-finished goods against the 0.1% threshold, focusing on flame retardants, plasticizers, and heavy metals. Where exceeded, trigger substitution or communication/SCIP notification.
Map to mandatory GB standards: Panel makers verify E0 formaldehyde; battery supply chain verify GB38031-2025 new tests; EEE material makers verify the 4 new RoHS phthalates.
Push compliance upstream: Obtain updated SDS and compliance declarations from suppliers; write compliance obligations into purchase contracts.
Establish a monitoring cadence: ECHA updates SVHC in January and June each year; China GB notices are irregular – recommend monthly review.
This daily brief is auto-compiled from public policy sources. For compliance decisions, refer to official texts (ECHA, China’s national standards public service platform).
