Chempricehub Key Alert: Reduced Supply of Diethylene Glycol from Jilin Petrochemical
Published on 2026-02-02
February 2nd News On February 2, Jilin Petrochemical's diethylene glycol (DEG) was primarily used for internal consumption, with no quotation provided for premium-grade products within the plant. The 159,000-ton/year unit primarily produced ethylene oxide (EO), with the load for ethylene glycol (EG)/diethylene glycol (DEG) at approximately 10%. Chempricehub Analysis of Diethylene Glycol Bull-Bear Score: 1.5 The article indicates that Jilin Petrochemical's DEG unit is operating at only 10% capacity, primarily producing ethylene oxide (EO), with DEG mainly used internally and no quotation provided for premium-grade products, suggesting a significant reduction in market supply. This may lead to tight spot supply and drive up prices. Score: 1.5 (Moderate to Significant Positive) Due to the relatively high degree of supply constraints, but with no mention of changes on the demand side, positive factors dominate, though attention should be paid to subsequent capacity adjustments.
