News summary
A 6 November 2026 Longzhong Information report on Mysteel states that Xinjiang Bolange Chemical reduced its pigment carbon black quotations. Listed offers for grades 1, 2 and 3 were CNY 15,400, 14,400 and 13,400 per tonne, respectively. The publication does not specify the exact amount of the reduction from earlier offers.
Market details
These are quotations from one identified manufacturer, on the tax and delivery basis stated in the source—not national averages or universal prices for all black pigments. Longzhong reported an annual capacity of roughly 15,000 tonnes, normal equipment operation and low-to-medium inventories.
Analysis of this news
Pigment black prices should not be compared directly with rubber-reinforcing grades such as N330. Surface area, structure, oil absorption, tint strength and dispersion can all affect value. Masterbatch and coating producers should evaluate the delivered cost together with formulation performance. A supplier’s reduced quotation does not demonstrate a broad market-wide decline.
