Isopropyl Alcohol Market Morning Briefing (September 11, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-11
  1. Key Points

  2. Acetone negotiation prices in the East China market yesterday were 9,100 yuan/mt, up 575 yuan/mt day on day.

  3. Lihuayi Weiyuan's isopropanol quotation yesterday was 9,400 yuan/mt.

Core logic: Monitor feedstock market prices and demand follow-through.

  1. Price Table
Product Region Sep 10 Sep 9 Change Rate
Propylene East China 10,000 9,950 +0.50%
Acetone East China 9,100 8,525 +6.74%
Isopropanol East China 9,150 8,650 +5.78%
Remarks: 1. Acetone, propylene, and isopropanol all refer to national standard premium-grade products. 2. All listed prices are spot cash self-pickup prices, unit: yuan/mt. 3. The prices for the two periods are point prices from the previous two working weeks before this week, not weekly average prices. 4. The change rate is the week-on-week rate of change.
  1. Market Outlook

The domestic isopropanol market rose sharply yesterday. Supported by relatively strong feedstock costs, holders actively raised offer levels to follow the upward trend, driving the trading center substantially higher. However, downstream inquiry and purchasing interest was moderate, high-priced transactions in the market were sporadic, and actual deals were mostly for just-in-time needs. The isopropanol market is expected to remain firm with consolidation today, while participants watch feedstock market trends and demand follow-through.

  1. Data Calendar
Data Item Release Date Previous Data Expected Trend This Period
Isopropanol plant operating rate Thursday 17:00 44.08%
1. ↓↑ is regarded as a major fluctuation, highlighting data dimensions with a change of more than 3%. 2. ↗↘ is regarded as a narrow fluctuation, highlighting data with a change within 3%. 3. → is regarded as stable.

    I think acetone up 6.74% is squeezing IPA margins; feedstock cost pass-through looks real, but moderate downstream demand may cap upside unless capacity utilization cuts follow.
