Weekly Data: Shandong Region MTBE Export-Oriented Plants Sample Capacity Utilization Rate (Oct 16–22, 2026)
During the week of October 16–22, 2026, the sample capacity utilization rate for export-oriented MTBE plants in the Shandong region stood at 63.68%, a decrease of 0.56 percentage points from the previous week. The decline was primarily driven by reduced output following the shutdown of Dongfang Hongye’s unit earlier in the week, as well as the temporary suspension of Shida Shenghua’s unit towards the end of the week.
