Electrolytic manganese flake is a key industrial material widely used in steelmaking and alloy applications. Buyers seeking quick price benchmarks often ask:
"What is the price of electrolytic manganese flake per kg?"
Because industry quotations are normally published in USD per metric ton (USD/MT), converting to a per kg basis makes the information easier to compare for buyers who think in smaller units, short-term budgeting, or per-unit costing.
Below is the latest published export price reference converted to a per-kg basis, along with market context.
Latest Export Price Reference (FOB Tianjin)
Unit: USD / metric ton (converted below to per kg)
Port: Tianjin Port
Grade: Electrolytic manganese flake 99.70%
| Basis | Value |
|---|---|
| Quotation (FOB) | USD 2,270–2,290 / ton |
| Per kg Equivalent | USD 2.27–2.29 / kg |
What This Means
- USD 2,270–2,290 per ton (FOB Tianjin Port) is the most recent export reference level for high-purity electrolytic manganese flake.
- On a per-kg basis, this translates to approximately USD 2.27–2.29 per kg delivered FOB China.
- When transaction prices match the quoted band, it indicates that buyers and sellers are actively conducting business at these levels, not just nominal quotes.
Why the Price Is Often Quoted Per Ton
In the industrial materials market, especially for bulk metals and ferroalloys, suppliers and analytics most commonly use USD per metric ton because it:
- aligns with typical order sizes (often 10–25+ metric tons)
- fits logistics pricing (FOB, CIF, CFR)
- avoids rounding or misunderstanding with small units
However, presenting the per-kg equivalent helps buyers quickly compare material costs across categories (metals, chemicals, alloys) without recalculation.
Market Context
The current price band for electrolytic manganese flake remains stable to mildly firm as of the latest assessments. Factors that buyers should consider when interpreting the per-kg figure include:
- Grade and purity: Higher certified purity can attract a premium
- Supply and demand: Steady downstream demand from steel mills often supports price stability
- Logistics and port terms: FOB quotes do not include freight or insurance; delivered cost per kg may vary by destination port
In practical procurement, many contracts are negotiated in USD/ton, but understanding the USD/kg equivalent makes internal budgeting and cost comparisons more intuitive.
How Buyers Should Use This Reference
Buyers can use the per-kg benchmark when:
creating cost models for alloys or steel additives
comparing material costs across different specifications
preparing bid comparisons from multiple suppliers
converting FOB prices into landed cost estimates with freight and duty
