Sample description: Data are collected from 32 domestic propylene oxide producers, representing 100% coverage.

Terminology: Propylene oxide output refers to the actual daily quantity of product meeting quality standards produced by propylene oxide enterprises. This figure is derived from theoretical calculation based on enterprise operating loads. Capacity utilization indicates the extent to which enterprise capacity is utilized, generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material throughput to effective capacity. Weekly propylene oxide capacity utilization = Weekly propylene oxide output / Weekly propylene oxide capacity.

Statistical scope: The statistical period runs from the previous Friday to the current Thursday, and data are published every Thursday afternoon.
