Statistics of Weekly Cost and Profit Data for Representative Propylene Oxide Processes in China (2026-09-10)

Published on 2026-09-10

According to calculations based on Chempricehub data, in this period, the weekly average profit of the chlorohydrin process was -720.33 yuan/tonne, an increase of 178.99 yuan/tonne from the previous period; the average HPPO profit was -1,433.78 yuan/tonne, an increase of 343.34 yuan/tonne from the previous period's average. During the period, propylene, the main raw material, rose strongly, while liquid chlorine was mainly range-bound; representative processes continued to post losses, with average profits recovering slightly.

    Both PO routes still bleed cash, though the narrower losses suggest feedstock cost pressure is easing at the margin. I'd watch downstream demand and capacity utilization before calling a real turnaround; risks remain.
