Anqing Taiheng shuts Jiangsu MTBE line owing to feedstock crunch

Anqing Taiheng has shut its MTBE production line in Jiangsu province due to a feedstock shortage. The plant has a capacity of 150,000 tonnes per year.

WHY IT MATTERS

The shutdown is a chemical supply item with limited direct effect on feed ingredients, though a feedstock squeeze in Chinese petrochemicals may firm energy-linked costs.
