This week (3.13~3.20), the downstream refrigerant gradually entered the traditional peak season of the industry, with the inventory consumption and price of the downstream third generation refrigerant R32 rising, and dichloromethane replenished as needed. In addition, downstream pharmaceutical and diluent industries also have a strong demand for dichloromethane.
