Raw materials skyrocket! Paint companies are eager to see red eyes: if there is no increase, they cannot survive! Starting after the 2026 holiday, almost all upstream raw material prices are rising. Titanium dioxide prices have increased by 500 yuan/ton, polyester resin prices have increased by 2000 yuan/ton, brighteners and leveling agents have cumulatively increased by 4000 yuan/ton, epoxy resin prices have cumulatively increased by 7000-8000 yuan/ton, curing agents have cumulatively increased by 10000 yuan/ton, and chemical matting agents have cumulatively increased by 20000 yuan/ton... This epic price hike driven by crude oil has flooded the entire coating and waterproofing industry chain from upstream raw materials. Waterproofing, gypsum board, and adhesives have risen under the leadership of industry leaders such as Dongfang Yuhong, Keshun, Beixinjian, and Sankeshu. The prices of asphalt waterproofing membranes, waterproof coatings, and polymer membranes for engineering and civil construction have increased by 5-10%, while the prices of grout and adhesive have increased by 10-20%, and the price of gypsum board per square meter has increased by 0.3 yuan.
Multiple silicone adhesive companies have raised prices by 5% -15%, and cost pressures are fully transmitted to end-users
Silicone adhesive market welcomes another wave of price increases! Recently, multiple silicone adhesive companies have issued price increase letters, announcing price hikes of products, generally ranging from 5% to 15%. Under the dual pressure of upstream raw material price increases and supply contraction, the entire organic silicon industry chain is trapped in a difficult cycle of "cost pressure forced price increases demand game". Recently, the core raw materials of silicone adhesive such as 107 glue, crosslinking agent, silicon dioxide, and silicone oil have collectively increased, directly pushing up the manufacturing costs of midstream manufacturers. As a key raw material for silicone adhesive production, the current market price of 107 adhesive has exceeded the threshold of 15000 yuan/ton. At the same time, the prices of silicone oil and crosslinking agents have increased by over 10% year-on-year, further exacerbating the cost burden on silicone rubber companies. In addition, the ongoing tension in the Middle East has exacerbated the fragility of the global chemical supply chain, pushed up international energy and chemical raw material prices, and significantly increased the expectation of enterprises to maintain high raw material prices in the long run, indirectly promoting the price increase decision of silicone rubber enterprises.
