According to the latest market monitoring, today's domestic prices for chemical raw materials and products in China show a divergent trend, with some fluctuations driven by supply and demand adjustments. Below are the latest quotations and market dynamics by category:
In the silicone raw materials sector, the mainstream transaction price for special-grade metallic silicon is between 10.3 and 11.4 RMB/KG, supported by strong downstream demand for silicone products, maintaining high price levels. Chloromethane is quoted at 2.2 RMB/KG, with a stable supply-demand balance and limited price fluctuations. The spot price for DMC (Dimethyl Carbonate) is between 11.3 and 13.5 RMB/KG; recycled material is not currently quoted due to the impact of environmental regulations, leading to tight supply. D4 (Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane) prices are 13.5–14.5 RMB/KG for domestic products and 16.5–17.5 RMB/KG for imported products, with the price gap between domestic and imported goods continuing to widen.
In the silicone rubber and raw rubber sector, the spot price of 107 silicone rubber is between 12.5 and 14.5 RMB/KG, with quotations for recycled materials currently suspended. The recovery of downstream demand for silicone sealants is supporting spot prices. Raw silicone rubber is priced between 12.8 and 15 RMB/KG, high polymer raw rubber is at 16–17 RMB/KG, and imported raw rubber at 17–17.5 RMB/KG, with high-end market demand still heavily reliant on imports.
For white carbon black (silica), domestic fumed silica for mid-to-low-end applications is priced at 18–24 RMB/KG, while high-end grades are 26–28 RMB/KG. Imported fumed silica ranges from 29 to 42.5 RMB/KG, with firm prices in high-end application fields. Precipitated silica is quoted at 6.4–6.8 RMB/KG, supported by steady demand from the tire and rubber product sectors, with prices consolidating at low levels.
In the silicone oil sector, ordinary domestic silicone oil is priced at 14.5–15.8 RMB/KG, with large brand products at 16.5–17 RMB/KG. Recycled silicone oil is priced between 12.3 and 13.2 RMB/KG. Environmentally friendly products command a noticeable premium.
Current Market Observations:
Cost Pressure Transmission: High prices for raw metallic silicon, combined with rising logistics costs, are driving price fluctuations in downstream silicone rubber and silicone oil products.
Import Substitution Trend: Domestically produced high-end fumed silica and raw silicone rubber are gradually capturing market share from imports, though high-end segments still heavily rely on foreign products.
Environmental Policy Impact: Due to stricter environmental regulations, many recycled products (such as recycled DMC and recycled 107 rubber) have suspended quotations across multiple regions, tightening supply.
The above prices are reference prices for bulk transactions. Actual transaction prices should be negotiated based on purchase volume, transportation distance, and contract terms. It is recommended to closely monitor international crude oil fluctuations and changes in downstream end-user demand to adjust procurement strategies flexibly.
