According to data from Chempricehub, the weekly average profit for propylene oxide (PO) produced via the chlorohydrin process was -1,418.81 CNY/ton this period, a decrease of 428.45 CNY/ton compared to the previous period. The average profit for PO produced via the HPPO (Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide) process was -1,723.46 CNY/ton, a decrease of 303.70 CNY/ton compared to the previous period's average. During this cycle, the price of the key raw material propylene retreated from highs, while liquid chlorine prices remained elevated and consolidated. Consequently, profitability for both representative processes declined, with losses widening.
