Glossary:
Cost: Production cost is the sum of direct expenses, direct labor, and indirect manufacturing expenses incurred by an enterprise to produce a certain type and quantity of products. The production cost of acrylic acid refers to the theoretical production cost calculated from the raw material (propylene) source.

Profit: Acrylic acid production profit is calculated on the basis of the ex-plant price of acrylic acid petrochemical enterprises, i.e., the profit remaining after deducting total cost and additional expenses (excluding financial expenses) from the market price.

Statistical scope: The statistical period runs from last Friday to this Thursday, and profit data are compared between this Thursday and last Thursday. Chempricehub Information's acrylic acid product profit data are first-hand statistical data, released every Thursday from 15:00 to 17:00 on working days.

    The profit swing from -46 to 278 yuan/t is eye-catching, but that cost uptick only 0.08% means feedstock propylene stayed flat. I'd watch downstream demand before trusting this margin recovery to hold.
