Industry News: Polyimide Price Trend is Rising Unstoppable

PMDA, one of the key raw materials for the PI film, skyrocketed from the end of 2016 and has accumulated nearly four times its total value so far.

The raw material for the production of PMDA – Durene price increase is as high as 5 times.

The reason, PMDA price soaring reason in addition to soaring raw material Durene, supply decreased,
PMDA production processes on the environment is also relatively serious pollution, most of the PMDA supply are from the Chinese manufacturers.

At present, China’s policies on environmental pollution and environmental protection are very strict and important.

Therefore, some second- and third-line PMDA manufacturers have been discontinued and limited their production for environmental reasons, even for first-line PMDA

Manufacturers to increase environmental protection investment.

Polyimide Price Trend is Rising Unstoppable

Based on several factors, such as rising raw material output, decreasing output, decreasing suppliers and increasing production costs, the price of PMDA skyrocketed all the time. At present, the demand for PMDA is still in short supply, and the money is not necessarily enough to buy enough raw materials.

As the current PI imports of raw materials suppliers are also mainly in China, so the current surge in PMDA market prices can be said that the entire PI production industry has brought tremendous cost pressures and supply pressures.

As this year’s PI membrane market demand growth has been great, there is a shortage of supply, this phenomenon from 2017 Q3 (third quarter) began to ferment, Q4 (the fourth quarter) feel the most obvious.
