Weekly Data Statistics of China n-Butanol Sample Production Profit (Aug 28 - Sep 3, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-03

This week, the weekly average profit for n-butanol was 381 yuan/ton, down 250 yuan/ton from the previous cycle. The decline was mainly due to a significant rise in feedstock propylene prices, which increased by an average of 371 yuan/ton over the week, thereby compressing n-butanol margins.

Sample notes:

N-butanol profit is calculated as the difference between the ex-factory price of n-butanol and its production cost. Chempricehub tracks n-butanol profit for the oxo synthesis process in the Shandong region.

The Chempricehub weekly average profit for n-butanol refers to the mainstream ex-factory gross profit for n-butanol in Shandong. The statistical period runs from Friday of the previous week to Thursday of the current week, and the data is released on working days every Thursday between 13:30 and 17:00.

    Feedstock propylene cost spikes really squeezed n-butanol margins this week, dropping profit 250 yuan to 381. Downstream demand needs to firm up before capacity utilization can recover sustainably.
