Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's unit is operating normally; Yangzi Petrochemical's unit is operating at a low load; one unit at Shanghai Petrochemical is operating normally.

Sinopec Central China Sales Company: The epoxy ethane price was implemented at RMB 8,200/ton from March 20, an increase of RMB 100/ton. Sinopec-SK (Wuhan) Petrochemical's unit is operating normally.

Sinopec North China Sales Branch: The epoxy ethane price was implemented at RMB 7,950/ton from March 20, an increase of RMB 250/ton. Sinopec SABIC Tianjin Petrochemical's unit is operating normally.

PetroChina Northeast Sales Branch: The epoxy ethane price was implemented at RMB 7,950/ton from March 20, an increase of RMB 250/ton. Liaoyang Petrochemical's unit is operating normally, and Jilin Petrochemical's new unit is operating normally.

Sinopec South China Sales Company: The epoxy ethane prices at Maoming Petrochemical and Zhongke Refining & Chemical were implemented at RMB 8,100/ton from March 20, an increase of RMB 100/ton. Regarding the units: Maoming Petrochemical's unit is shut down, while Zhongke Refining & Chemical's unit is operating normally.

Currently, the epoxy ethane market faces tight supply and demand. Strong demand or limited supply has a direct positive impact on spot prices, which may boost market confidence and lead to further price increases.

What are fatty alcohols

Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols having a chain of 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Fatty alcohols typically have an even number of carbon atoms and one hydroxyl group attached to the end of the carbon chain. One of the raw materials for detergent surfactants. The general formula is ROH. R of the detergent alcohol is generally a C12 to C18 hydrocarbon group. Such a high carbon fatty alcohol has an amphiphilic character, I .e., a hydrophobic group such as a hydrocarbon chain and a hydrophilic group such as a hydroxyl group in the molecule. However, due to the solubility in water is very low, it is necessary to add hydrophilic groups or convert hydroxyl groups into sulfuric acid groups, so that after the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value reaches the necessary value, the fatty alcohol derivative has enough hydrophilic groups to dissolve in water, and can become aggregates (micelles), the fatty alcohol derivative is the surfactant. For example, dodecanol is insoluble in water, but when it is changed into sodium lauryl sulfate, due to the addition of a sulfate group (-SO3-), the water solubility becomes better, and micelles can be formed in water, reaching a certain concentration, showing very good surface activity. It is the use of this characteristic, fatty alcohol as raw material, produced a variety of surfactants with various excellent properties.
