According to Chempricehub data, the weekly average profit for the chlorohydrin process stood at -1,110.91 yuan/ton during this period, a decrease of 516.02 yuan/ton compared to the previous week. The average profit for the HPPO process was -1,398.06 yuan/ton, down by 297.32 yuan/ton from the prior weekly average. During the cycle, the primary feedstock propylene rebounded after an initial decline, while liquid chlorine prices rose steadily. Consequently, representative production processes operated at a slight loss, with the magnitude of losses widening.
