The market prices of Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate across the Asia-Pacific region have diverged in October 2025. The domestic market of India has posted a marginal rise and the Chinese export offers have decreased significantly. The feedstock values have varied to which suppliers of the respective market responded strategically. The measured procurement from the formulators across pharmaceuticals, coatings and specialty chemicals have kept the Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate prices steady but non-aggressive in India. The slight increase in the value of domestic acetic acid have the contained production cost and the allowed local suppliers to nudge offers higher without disrupting end-user budgets. The weak domestic consumption in China and a reduced pipeline of international inquiries have forced the exporters to cut prices and offer discounts to stimulate orders. The measured pricing strategy from the suppliers and inventory management by the buyers have created the contrasting prices of Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate in October. The regular monitoring of feedstock (acetic acid) trends, downstream order flows, international inquiry levels and logistics developments will help to sharpen procurement timing.
Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility.
Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
