    2026-08-22 New Materials Price Trend Daily Report

    Price Overview

    Material Current Price Range WoW Trend
    PTFE Resin (suspension medium) CNY 31,000–34,000/t -2.0% Down (soft)
    PEEK Resin (industrial grade) CNY 400–700/kg +1.0% Firming
    Carbon Fiber (T700/12K) CNY 100–140/kg +1.5% Up (bottom rebound)
    PI Film (electronic grade) CNY 250,000–1,000,000/t +2.0% Up (high-end tight)
    Electrofused Zirconia (ZrO₂≥98.5%) CNY 33,000–33,500/t +0.8% High-level firm

    Key Movements

    • PTFE Resin: Remains weak; prices have fallen more than 30% from the June peak (~CNY 48,000/t), slipping about 2% this week. Drivers: concentrated new capacity release (mainly East China), downstream just-in-time buying with no concentrated restocking, softening cost support from fluorite/crude oil, and intensifying trader competition. Near-term range-bound soft trading at CNY 31,000–34,000/t is expected.
    • Carbon Fiber (T700/12K): Continues bottom rebound, +1.5% WoW. Toray raised prices 10%–20% at the start of the year and Jilin Chemical Fiber lifted prices ~CNY 10,000/t YTD; together with high acrylonitrile costs and recovering demand from wind power, aerospace and the low-altitude economy, industry utilization has rebounded above 80%. High-end T800+ remains in tight balance with firm pricing.
    • PI Film (electronic grade): Boosted by AI servers, advanced packaging (Chiplet/2.5D/3D) and foldable displays, plus Kaneka’s 20% hike in April and 30%–50% increases from DuPont and other overseas majors. The high-end electronic PI film supply gap of ~10k–12k t is locked by long-term contracts through 2027, keeping prices on a sustained upward path. Standard electronic yellow film ~CNY 240k–280k/t; high-end COF/PSPI film reaches the million-CNY/t level.
    • Electrofused Zirconia: Sinocera (Guoci) raised powder prices 10%–40% effective July 27, and Orient Zirconic lifted prices twice YTD; electrofused zirconia is up ~26.7% since the start of the year, now firm at CNY 33,000–33,500/t. Catalysts: tight zircon sand imports (+8.4% YTD), surging yttria prices on rare-earth export controls, Tosoh’s supply halt creating a ~6,000 t/yr global high-end powder gap, and expanding PCB/electronic-ceramics demand.

    Impact Analysis

    • Procurement cost: Falling PTFE is favorable for cost; PEEK, carbon fiber, PI film and zirconia are broadly rising, with high-end grades (electronic PI, YSZ powder) posting notable gains that will directly raise costs for downstream FPC, semiconductor packaging, dental ceramics, MLCC and refractories.
    • Supply chain: High-end PI film and high-end zirconia gaps are locked by long-term contracts through 2027, tightening spot supply. The domestic-substitution window is open (Sinocera, Ruihuatai absorbing import-replacement orders), but high-end certification barriers remain. Carbon fiber shows a “loose low-end, tight high-end” bipolar pattern.

    Action Recommendations

    • Lock prices: ① PTFE resin — at its yearly low, sign medium/long-term contracts to lock in; ② electrofused zirconia / zirconium oxychloride — with raw-material gaps and implemented hikes, build inventory in batches on dips.
    • Monitor / wait: ① Electronic-grade / COF / PSPI PI film — locked high and in short supply, procure on specification confirmation rather than hoarding at peaks; ② high-end carbon fiber T800+ — wait for project demand and domestic certification progress before bulk locking; ③ PEEK — ample supply and stable pricing, buy as needed.

  • Price Trend Daily Report – 2026-08-21

    Price Overview

    Material Current Price Range WoW Change Trend
    PTFE Resin (suspension mid-grade) 31,800-47,000 CNY/t (national benchmark 43,000) ~0% (weakly stable) → Weakly stable
    PEEK Resin (domestic virgin) 300k-400k CNY/t; imported 550k-1,000k CNY/t Flat → Stable to slightly weak
    Carbon Fiber (T700 12K) 105-135 CNY/kg; T300 12K 90-100 CNY/kg T300 +5.3%, T700 flat to slightly up ↗ Bottoming & recovering
    PI Film (electronic grade) Electrical 110-220 CNY/kg; electronic 200-500 CNY/kg +1% to +2% ↑ Confirmed uptrend
    Specialty Ceramic Raw Materials (alumina/zirconia) Alumina 2,700-2,800 CNY/t; fused zirconia ≥33,000 CNY/t Alumina -1%; zirconia high Divergent (alumina ↘ / zirconia ↑)

    Key Movements

    • PTFE Resin: Weakly stable (±0%). The national benchmark for suspension mid-grade stands at 43,000 CNY/t (Longzhong, Aug 20, flat), yet low-end quotes from Shandong Yihe are 31,800 CNY/t while high-end Hongyang reaches 45,500 CNY/t — a 43% intra-month spread. Upstream, anhydrous HF has climbed to 14,700-16,500 CNY/t (+40% YTD), strengthening producers’ price-support stance, but a downstream off-season and high inventories cap the rebound.
    • PEEK Resin: Stable to slightly weak (flat). Domestic virgin resin is 300k-400k CNY/t; imported (Victrex, etc.) 550k-1,000k CNY/t. The earlier surge driven by humanoid-robot demand hype has cooled; continued domestic capacity ramp-up (Zhongyan, Jida, etc.) plus import substitution has rebalanced supply and demand.
    • Carbon Fiber: Bottoming out and recovering (↗). Jilin T300/12K ~100 CNY/kg, T300/25K ~90 CNY/kg, +5.3%/+5.9% MoM; T700/12K Jiangsu 105 CNY/kg flat, major-mill offer 135 CNY/kg. The sector has ended a half-year decline; costs at 114,145 CNY/t (+3.2% MoM) while gross margin remains negative (-10,002 CNY/t), so the rise is largely corrective.
    • PI Film: Confirmed uptrend (↑, +1% to +2%). Electrical-grade uniaxial 110-170 CNY/kg, biaxial 170-220 CNY/kg; electronic grade 200-500 CNY/kg. Kaneka’s 20% hike (effective April) keeps transmitting, backed by PMDA/ODA cost support and AI-server / foldable-screen demand; the global gap is ~20,000 t and overseas orders are locked through 2027.
    • Specialty Ceramic Raw Materials: Divergent. Alumina (metallurgical grade) 2,700-2,800 CNY/t, -1% WoW, weak; fused zirconia ≥33,000 CNY/t, +26.7% YTD, with Guoci raising zirconia powder prices 10%-40% from Jul 27, driven by rising zircon sand (+17% YTD), yttria export controls, and Tosoh’s supply halt (~6,000 t/yr gap).

    Impact Analysis

    • On procurement cost: Rising PI film and zirconia prices directly lift costs for electronic packaging, dental, MLCC and PCB grinding media; PTFE and carbon fiber remain low and cost-controllable; slightly lower alumina is marginally favorable for refractories / ceramics.
    • On supply chain: PI film and high-end zirconia are seller’s markets with extended lead times, requiring early order-locking; carbon fiber localization improves resilience; PTFE faces periodic tightness from upstream fluorochemical maintenance.

    Action Recommendations

    • Lock prices: Electronic-grade PI film, fused zirconia and yttria stabilizers — uptrends are clear and supply gaps will not close soon; adopt medium-term framework or volume / price locks.
    • Hold / monitor: PTFE resin (weakly stable, await cost-pass-through confirmation), PEEK resin (suppressed by import substitution, slightly weak), alumina (declining trend). Carbon fiber can be built up in batches on dips.

  • Advanced Materials Price Trend Daily, 20 Aug 2026: Fluorochemical Chain Splits, PI Film the Only Tight Market

    Key takeaway: The fluorochemical chain shows a clear divergence — anhydrous hydrofluoric acid is up nearly 40% year-to-date, while general-purpose suspension PTFE has slipped back to roughly RMB 31,800/t, near cash cost. Acrylonitrile jumped 8.1% in a single week, putting a cost floor under carbon fibre. PI film is the only genuinely tight material this period: secure volume rather than price.

    1. Price Overview

    Material Current price range Week on week Trend
    PTFE resin (suspension, medium particle) RMB 31,800–34,000/t 0% to -1% Soft but stable (down ~30% from the 30-day high of 45,500)
    PTFE dispersion resin RMB 54,000/t 0% Stable (low producer inventory, moderate run rates)
    PEEK virgin resin (domestic China) RMB 300,000–400,000/t (mainstream quote 380,000) 0% Stable with a downward bias
    Carbon fibre T300-12K RMB 90/kg 0% Bottoming out
    Carbon fibre T700-12K RMB 118–120/kg 0% Bottoming out
    PI film (electrical/electronic grade, 6051 series) RMB 180–255/kg 0% to +1% Firm
    Technical ceramic feedstock (high-purity alumina micropowder) RMB 130–180/kg (discounts on bulk) 0% Soft but stable
    [Cost driver] Anhydrous HF RMB 15,000–16,500/t 0% Strong (up ~40% YTD)
    [Cost driver] Acrylonitrile RMB 12,000/t +8.1% vs. early Aug Turning strong

    2. Notable Moves

    • Acrylonitrile +8.1%: from RMB 11,133/t on 1 Aug to RMB 12,033/t on 4 Aug. Precursor costs for carbon fibre are rising, but industry inventory of about 15,670 t (up 27.3% from the start of the year) is blocking pass-through, so finished carbon fibre has not followed.
    • Anhydrous HF up nearly 40% YTD: Korean semiconductor-grade HF buyers have stepped up China sourcing, lifting high-purity grades to RMB 16,000–16,500/t from under RMB 12,000/t in January. Downstream, R32 has risen to RMB 64,500–65,500/t and R22 holds at RMB 24,000–25,000/t, with Q3 contract prices up close to RMB 3,000/t quarter on quarter.
    • PTFE down roughly 30% over 30 days: a clear break from upstream. Higher fluorspar and HF costs cannot be passed into commodity PTFE grades; overcapacity plus need-only buying has compressed processing spreads to historic lows.
    • PI film firm: the Asia-Pacific supply gap in high-end electrical-insulation PI film has widened to about 18,000 t/year. The global market now exceeds USD 2.8 billion with a CAGR near 7.2%, and demand from EV traction-motor insulation, wind generator insulation and hydrogen high-temperature applications is growing more than 15% a year.

    3. Impact Analysis

    Procurement cost: The strong-upstream / weak-downstream pattern in fluorochemicals means commodity PTFE is already close to cash cost, so further downside is limited and restocking at these levels carries manageable risk. High-end fluoropolymer grades (dispersion resin, PFA/FEP), by contrast, will catch up with HF and should be volume-secured early. For carbon fibre, acrylonitrile cost push makes RMB 90/kg for T300-12K an effective floor; waiting for further declines is becoming less rewarding.

    Supply chain: PI film is the only true seller’s market right now, where lead time and allocation risk outweigh price risk, especially for imported high-end electrical-insulation grades. In PEEK, Zhongyan has set up a Jiangsu subsidiary to build 10,000 t/year of PEEK capacity, so domestic quotes are more likely to fall over the medium term — avoid locking long-term contracts at today’s prices. The macro backdrop remains soft: of 50 key production materials tracked nationally in early August 2026, 12 rose, 31 fell and 7 were flat, so a broad-based materials rally is unlikely.

    4. Recommended Actions

    • Lock in (3–6 months): PI film, prioritising high-end electrical-insulation grades — secure volume ahead of price; PTFE dispersion resin and other high-end fluoropolymers such as PFA/FEP; any externally sourced anhydrous HF exposure.
    • Stay on the sidelines: commodity suspension PTFE (restock on demand once cost support is confirmed); carbon fibre T300/T700 (buy in small tranches at the bottom and push for acrylonitrile-indexed clauses); PEEK (renegotiate after new capacity starts up).
    • Monitor: fluorspar and sulphuric acid prices as leading indicators for HF cost; weekly carbon fibre industry inventory; PI film localisation and capacity-expansion progress.

    Data note: compiled from public quotations and industry monitoring. Technical ceramic feedstocks trade largely on enquiry with no daily price index, so ranges are indicative only. PEEK and PI film are quoted at monthly frequency; week-on-week is treated as flat.
