May 13 - Recently, after the hydrogen plant of Sinopec Hunan Petrochemical's caprolactam division completed its maintenance and restart, it successfully produced qualified ammonia products, and all 17 main production units have been fully restarted. Chempricehub comments on caprolactam: Bullish/Bearish Score: -1. The full restart of Sinopec Hunan Petrochemical's 17 caprolactam-related production units will significantly increase the supply-side expectation, putting downward pressure on spot caprolactam prices. This is generally bearish. Pure benzene, Bullish/Bearish Score: 0.5. Pure benzene is the core upstream feedstock for caprolactam. The concentrated restart of downstream units will drive up demand for pure benzene, providing some support to its price. As of May 12, 2025, the settlement price of the main 2606 contract for pure benzene futures closed at 8,161 yuan/ton, with upward support for futures prices under the expectation of improving demand.
