Haohua Technology on Aug 27 released 1H 2026 operating data showing average
selling prices for several key products rose. Fluorocarbon chemicals were up
16.46% YoY, supported by quota constraints and cost/demand pressure.
Fluorine-containing lithium battery materials averaged 29,900 yuan/ton in 1H, up
63.49% YoY, driven by tight supply of core inputs such as LiPF6, low industry
inventories, booming downstream EV and energy-storage demand, and upstream cost
pressure from lithium fluoride and related inputs. Fluoropolymers outperformed
year-ago levels as steady demand from lithium battery, electronics and
anticorrosion sectors and firm upstream fluorspar and hydrofluoric acid costs
supported prices.
