In Nov. 2022, prices of major fluorochemical products were mixed. Specifically, fluorite prices continued to edge up as market supply remained tight. Accordingly, production costs of downstream AlF3 and AHF went up and AlF3 and AHF prices grew to different degrees. However, R22 prices maintained stability at a low level as downstream demand was sluggish and cost support was weak.
