Propylene oxide output edges down 0.01% to 131,500 tons, utilization at 70.19%

Published on 2026-10-30

During the week, Jinling and Wanhua units within the market gradually shut down. Sanyue reduced load and cleaned its columns, while other facilities maintained stable operations. Total production for this period was 131,500 tons, a decrease of 100 tons from the previous period. The capacity utilization rate was 70.19%, down by 0.07 percentage points from the previous period.

Table: Weekly Comparison of Domestic Propylene Oxide Production and Capacity Utilization Rate

Indicator Current Period Previous Period Change Change Rate
Production (10,000 tons) 13.15 13.16 -0.01 -0.08%
Capacity Utilization Rate 70.19% 70.26% -0.07 pp

Sample Description: Data collected from 32 domestic propylene oxide enterprises, covering 100% of the market.

Glossary: Propylene oxide production refers to the quantity of products meeting quality standards actually produced daily by propylene oxide enterprises. This data is derived from theoretical calculations based on enterprise operating loads. Capacity utilization rate indicates the extent to which an enterprise's capacity is utilized, generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. Weekly propylene oxide capacity utilization rate = Weekly propylene oxide production / Weekly propylene oxide capacity.

Statistical Scope: The statistical period runs from last Friday to this Thursday, with publication every Thursday afternoon.
