Carburant & Carbon Products
Anode Saggers & Crucibles: 270-Day Payment Risk
Despite a 53% year-on-year surge in lithium-ion anode output, carbon plants retooling for graphitization saggers and crucibles face severe cash-flow mismatches driven by 270-day settlement cycles and downstream gross margins compressed to just 555.01 RMB/ton.
Petroleum Coke
High-Sulfur CPC Cost Inversion: Why Quotes Sit Below Cost
Recent price softening in standard 4.0% and 4.5% sulfur calcined petroleum coke (CPC) does not reflect margin concessions on pure domestic sponge coke, but rather a structural shift toward up to 100% imported green petroleum coke (GPC) blending.

Procurement Check
Procurement Timeline from Specs to Batch
Product specifications, COA fields, packing method and destination terms should be reviewed under the same batch context. Quotation and delivery remain subject to available batch and order confirmation.
Procurement Timeline
Confirm product name, application and target specifications first, then particle size, quantity, packing, destination and expected lead time before batch COA and order terms are reviewed.
Cost Comparison
Quotation factors normally include fixed carbon, sulfur, ash, sizing, packing, quantity, freight distance and batch condition. Total landed cost should not be judged by unit price alone.
Common Mistakes
Avoid sending only the product name, missing particle size or packing, or leaving application and destination unclear. Incomplete RFQs slow down specification review and batch matching.
