Recently, the domestic industrial grade 85% formic acid market has risen. Recently, the high price of raw material sulfuric acid and the narrow fluctuation of raw material methanol market have provided some support in terms of cost. The operating rate has decreased compared to the previous period, and the market supply has contracted, supporting this price increase. The downstream follow-up is acceptable, and the market transaction is orderly.

 

Upstream product: upstream sulfuric acid. On March 21, the domestic sulfuric acid market price fell.
