2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene Price Trend
2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene Price Trend
Isoprene, also known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, is a colourless, volatile liquid hydrocarbon produced from petroleum or coal tar processing and utilised as a chemical raw material. The price of petroleum coke from local refiners climbed substantially on March 25th with Shandong's average market price being 4,851.25 RMB/MT. The cost of downstream electrolytic aluminium somewhat decreased, whereas the cost of calcined coke increased. At the moment, the pandemic in Shandong has had minimal influence and downstream carbon factories have resumed operations one by one. As the market for petroleum coke is strong, prices are increasing, affecting the prices of isoprene as well.
