This week, the domestic benzoic maleic anhydride market was shut down. In the near future, the downstream unsaturated resin resin market started at a low level, and the demand was mainly rigid. As of December 28, the solid anhydride in Shandong was about 7600 yuan / ton, that in Jiangsu was about 7700 yuan / ton, that in Shanxi was about 9500 yuan / ton, that in Hebei was about 8000 yuan / ton, and that in South China was about 8000 yuan / ton.

According to the maleic anhydride product analyst of business club, the benzene oxidation process in the domestic maleic anhydride market is in serious deficit at present, the factory has been shut down for maintenance, and the market circulation is small. The recent rise in the n-butane oxidation process is mainly due to the concentrated delivery of goods by downstream and merchants, and the tight delivery of the factory. At present, the supply of main production areas continues to increase, and it is expected that the maleic anhydride market will continue to rise in the near future.
