Analysis review

This week, the domestic BDO market was in a sluggish market, and the spot real orders were lightly traded. Manufacturers mostly focused on shipping mentality, with loose offers and a drop in focus.

In terms of equipment, Panjin Dalian was affected by the shortage of raw materials, and the load was still maintained at 60-70%. It was planned to increase to full load in early or mid-April. The operation of Yanchang Petroleum Plant was unstable and the overall load was not high. The two units of Lanshan Tunhe in Xinjiang replaced the catalyst in turn from March 21.
