February 9th News – It was learned on January 31st that Zhejiang Huanyang Xinghua New Materials Co., Ltd. plans to invest a total of 716.32 million yuan to construct an annual production project of 100,000 tons of special epoxy resin and 100,000 tons of high-purity epichlorohydrin. Within the existing plant area, a new 100,000-ton/year glycerol-based epichlorohydrin unit and a new 100,000-ton/year special epoxy resin unit will be built. Chempricehub Analysis: - **Epichlorohydrin, Bull-Bear Score: -1** The project plans to build a new 100,000-ton/year high-purity epichlorohydrin unit using the glycerol-based process, which will increase market supply. The commissioning of new capacity may put downward pressure on spot prices, as supply increases while demand does not rise simultaneously, creating a bearish impact on short-term prices. - **Special Epoxy Resin, Bull-Bear Score: -1** The new 100,000-ton/year special epoxy resin unit will expand production scale, significantly strengthening the supply side. Against the backdrop of relatively stable demand, the additional capacity may limit the upward potential of spot prices, exerting a generally bearish pressure on prices.
