The price of US Benzotriazole increased sharply due to high demand and slight tight supply in the market. On the demand side, domestic consumption strengthened into late autumn. Antifreeze producers accelerated benzotriazole intake to build finished-fluid inventories for winter distribution, a seasonal pattern that typically peaks in November. Metal working-fluid blenders serving the automotive and machinery sectors kept demand steady.

US automotive sector - a key consumer of Benzotriazole as corrosion inhibitors, antifreeze additive and UV stabilizers- has reported the monthly automotive sales remained firm and marginally improved by x.xx month-on-month, indicating consistent offtake.

Industrial water-treatment volumes also remained steady despite continued scrutiny, as formulators awaited final aquatic-toxicity thresholds before making any large-scale reformulation decisions.
