中国氟化物材料月报(中国氟化物材料月报202206)

In June 2022, market performance varied between fluorochemicals and performance of refrigerants weakened. Specifically, fluorite prices continued to increase as fluorite supply was tight in some regions. AHF market supply exceeded demand and cost support weakened, leading AHF prices to slip. AlF₃ prices displayed a consolidation trend given high costs and adequate supply. Operating rates of R22 manufacturers remained at a high level; R22 market supply improved within a limited range; cost support continuously weakened; as a result, R22 prices went down and then showed a consolidation trend.
