In terms of raw materials, Sinopec’s price of pure benzene in East and South China increased by 200 yuan / ton to 6700 yuan / ton, which was implemented by all its refineries. The price is effective from April 6. In terms of cost, the market of cyclohexanone was promoted. In the downstream, the caprolactam plant started to maintain a high level, and raw materials were purchased on demand. Although the price of cyclohexanone was at a high level, it was normal production, and the caprolactam plant just needed to purchase.

Business community cyclohexanone analysts expect that the market of cyclohexanone will remain high in Europe in the short term.
