[chemical] Finance recently, propylene prices fell. The traditional stocking not before the Spring Festival party, the downstream demand is limited, resulting in domestic propylene oxide factory inventory pressure rise. The main factories were forced to cut price, positive shipments. In January a large number of imported supply shocks, lower overall demand is limited, the domestic propylene inventory pressure, continuous innovation and low price.

Epoxy propane propylene propylene prices rebounded slightly, and further compression of epoxy propane propylene at present profit margins, mainstream transaction prices in 4750-4850 yuan / ton. The raw material of liquid chlorine market prices decline, orders before prices of liquid chlorine in the range of 500-600 yuan / ton. The downstream polyether plant overall operating rate is not high, the Spring Festival approaching, the factory has no strong stocking intention, just need to maintain, make up blocked epoxy propane.

The most normal operation of propylene oxide plant. CNOOC fine chemical comprehensive overhaul, no plans to restart years ago; Tianjin Dagu device maintains a load of 5, limited production price; Dongying Huatai weeks short cleaning saponification tower, has 8 operation load device restart. Changsheng company equipment starts to maintain a smooth operation. The current market supply adequate supply, but the downstream consumption speed to follow the power shortage, weak overall demand, the contradiction between supply and demand imbalance, difficult to have substantial improvement in the short period of .

Polyether downstream demand is limited, the Spring Festival approaching, many factories have economic benefits downstream polyether early holiday, when the consumption of propylene oxide decreased further, the social inventory pressure will be difficult to release. In the short run, the market will be weak consolidation of propylene oxide.
