According to data from Chempricehub, the theoretical gross margin for 2-ethylhexanol (OCT) this week was -226 RMB/ton, a decrease of 261 RMB/ton compared to last week. The average price of propylene feedstock fell by 570 RMB/ton this week, leading to an approximate drop of 400 RMB/ton in raw material costs. Since the decline in Shandong’s average propylene price exceeded the reduction in feedstock costs, OCT producers experienced significant losses this week.
Sample Methodology:
- Profit Calculation: OCT profit is defined as the difference between the ex-factory price of OCT and its production cost. Chempricehub tracks OCT profits specifically for carbonyl synthesis processes in the Shandong region.
- Weekly Average Profit Definition: Chempricehub’s weekly average OCT profit refers to the mainstream ex-factory gross margin for OCT in Shandong. The statistical period runs from Friday of the previous week through Thursday of the current week. Data is released on Thursdays between 13:30 and 17:00 on working days.
