Epichlorohydrin (ECH) rubber (MV-70) in Japan was steady at FOB Tokyo in October 2025, despite a 1.5% increase in cost of the ECH feedstock caused by global tightness and Kashima Chemical ramping up 85% of its capacity, brings up their production cost. Domestic sales of the ECH rubber declined as manufacturers kept the pressure on to stay competitive in exports. China鈥檚 and India import volumes of ECH rubber from Japan jumped in September, led by post-Golden Week and Diwali demand as shipping schedules began to normalize. India鈥檚 EV/hybrid orders were up 8鈥�10%. Delivery of the supply was interrupted 2鈥�3 days due to a labor shortage, but the mild port congestion (1鈥�2 days) facilitated the flow. US 15% tariffs redirected volume to Asia, sheltered by high stocks. 果酱视频s predict Q4 stability if export demand continues, although feedstock increases and / or disruptions could cause ECH rubber prices upwards.
