Weekly Cost and Profit Statistics for Representative Propylene Oxide Processes in China

Published on 2026-10-22

According to Chempricehub data, the weekly average profit for the chlorohydrin process was -594.89 yuan/ton during this period, a decrease of 65.06 yuan/ton from the previous period. The average profit for the HPPO process was -1100.74 yuan/ton, down by 48.41 yuan/ton from the previous period's average. During this cycle, the key raw material propylene rebounded after a decline, while liquid chlorine experienced a narrow fluctuation downward. Consequently, both representative processes operated at slight losses, with profitability showing a minor deterioration.
