May 8 News: Xinjiang Guotai Xinhua's 200,000-ton BDO plant has been undergoing a burner tip replacement since April 12, with a tentative restart expected around May 9. Chempricehub evaluates 1,4-butanediol with a bullish-bearish rating of -1. The supply reduction effect from the previous shutdown of Xinjiang Guotai Xinhua's 200,000-ton 1,4-butanediol plant, which halted on April 12 for burner tip replacement and is anticipated to restart on May 9, is about to dissipate. This leads to a rising expectation of increased supply on the supply side, exerting a slight bearish impact on the spot prices of 1,4-butanediol.
