At present, the demand for polyether amine products in the market is relatively large, the supply is insufficient, and the market is in a state of imbalance between supply and demand. The market demand of polyether amine will continue to rise in China. The main reason is that the downstream applied range expands incessantly. The polyether amine has been widely used in coatings, composite materials, polyurea, epoxy resin and other industries. the development of downstream industries in 2017-2021 is expected to drive the rapid growth of the market demand. In the aspect of capacity, some Chinese enterprises enter the polyether amine industry with the increase in demand. The industry analysts think that polyether amine production capacity in China in 2017-2021 will increase significantly. By 2020, the capacity will increase to 37000 tons.

Clariant announced global price increases for selected pigments. The price increases, which come into effect for delivery as of Jan. 15, 2018 or as soon as contracts allow, will affect dioxazine violet and diarylide pigments. Prices for PV 23 (dioxazine violet) and PO 34 will be increased by 15%. Prices for PY 83 will increase by 14%, prices for PY 12, PY 13, PY 14, PY 174 and PY 176 will increase by 5%. The price increases are driven by higher raw material prices (e.g. carbazole, hydroquinone, DCB and certain coupling agents) triggered by higher environmental, health and safety costs and lack of availability, e.g. due to the stronger enforcement of environmental and safety regulations in China. As China coating additives manufacturer , IRO always supplies high-quality products with a moderate market price.
