Why are tritan material prices soaring?

Before answering this question, let us first understand what is tritan?

Tritan is a copolyester material developed by the American Eastman Company and is one of today’s plastic materials. In layman’s terms, this material is different from the existing materials on the market in that it is safer, more environmentally friendly, and more durable. For example, traditional plastic water cups made of PC material should not hold hot water. Once the water temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, the PC material will release bisphenolamine, which is BPA. If it is affected by BPA for a long time, it will cause internal disorders in the human body and affect reproduction. System health, so traditional plastic water cups represented by PC cannot be used by children, especially babies. Tritan will not. At the same time, it has better toughness and enhanced impact resistance. Therefore, Tritan was once said to be a baby-grade plastic material. But why are the prices of tritan materials soaring?

After learning about Tritan, it is not difficult to find that in today’s society, people pay more attention to the quality of life and health. At the same time, both production factories and sales brand merchants are vigorously promoting the use of safer and healthier Tritan materials. Combining the above two points, it is not difficult to see that the primary reason for the price increase of Tritan is the control of production capacity. As market demand increases and production decreases, material prices will naturally increase.

However, the real reason for the skyrocketing material prices is the U.S. trade war against the Chinese market. Price increases under a special background are not only human factors, but also an expansion of economic power. Therefore, without solving the above two fundamental reasons, it is difficult for Tritan materials to get room for price reduction. Some merchants and manufacturers need to hoard large amounts of materials in addition to use and speculation. We are also vigilant about this situation and cannot rule out the possibility of cutting leeks from the United States.
