This week (October 9–15, 2026), the average capacity utilization rate of Chinese chlor-alkali sample enterprises with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons or more was 74.8%, down 4.0% from the previous period. During the week, eight chlor-alkali units underwent maintenance, two were restarted, and several others reduced operating rates due to external factors, leading to a notable decline in overall chlor-alkali loadings. By region, loadings decreased across Northwest, North, Central, East, Northeast, and South China. The Northwest and Northeast regions experienced the largest week-over-week declines. Specifically, Shandong’s chlor-alkali loading stood at 76.7%, down 3.4% from the previous week. Looking ahead, three chlor-alkali units are scheduled for maintenance and eight are expected to restart next week, with national chlor-alkali loadings projected to recover to approximately 75.8%.
