Weekly Statistical Data on Cost and Profit of Representative Propylene Oxide Processes in China (September 17, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-17

According to data calculated by Chempricehub, the weekly average profit for the chlorohydrin process during this period was 554.72 yuan/ton, an increase of 1,275.05 yuan/ton from the previous period. The average profit for the HPPO process was 15.52 yuan/ton, a rise of 1,449.30 yuan/ton from the previous period's average. During this cycle, the key raw material propylene prices declined initially before recovering, while liquid chlorine prices remained largely stable within a narrow range. Both major production processes returned to profitability, with significant recovery in average profits.

    PO margins swung positive as liquid chlorine stabilized, though HPPO’s razor-thin profit signals fragility. With feedstock volatility persisting, I doubt this recovery holds unless downstream demand for polyols strength..
