Weekly Data Statistics on China's Propylene Oxide Capacity Utilization Rate (August 11–17, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-17

During the week, Hangjin Chemical, Binhua Chemical, Huntsman, and Zhejiang Petrochemical slightly reduced their operating loads. In contrast, Tianhua, Ruiheng, and Lianhong increased their production rates. Satellite Chemical restarted its unit and achieved stable volume output, while Qixiang commenced product shipments today. After offsetting these various movements, there was a slight net increase in supply. Total production for this period was 126,200 tons, an increase of 8,300 tons from the previous period. The capacity utilization rate stood at 67.35%, up by 4.38 percentage points compared to the prior period.

Sample Description: Data collected from 32 domestic propylene oxide enterprises, achieving 100% coverage.

Terminology Explanation: 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 capacity utilization rate for propylene oxide = Weekly propylene oxide production / Weekly propylene oxide capacity.

Statistical Basis: The statistical period runs from last Friday to this Thursday. Reports are released every Thursday afternoon.
