In May, the prices of rubber additives rose, and supply became tight.

2016-05-25

In the past month, due to severe environmental protection issues, the supply of rubber additives has been tight.

Due to some factories having outdated production equipment and inadequate handling of the production process, the "three wastes" issues cannot be well managed, especially in terms of water treatment, which severely pollutes the local water quality. As a result, at least one-third of the factories nationwide have been ordered to suspend production for rectification, and many others have been forced to reduce output. Therefore, the production of rubber additives has rapidly declined across the country.

In addition, with the continuous rise in the prices of rubber raw materials, the prices of rubber additives in the Chinese market have recently increased, leading to tight supply.
