Nantong Xingchen plans to shut down its 150,000 tons/year Bisphenol A unit; details have not yet been released.

Market news indicates that Nantong Xingchen Synthetic Materials Co., Ltd. plans to halt production at its Bisphenol A (BPA) plant.

Nantong Xingchen owns a BPA production unit with a capacity of 150,000 tons/year. The unit's output is primarily used to support its own epoxy resin production lines, with a small amount of commercial goods circulating in the market. It is a significant BPA production enterprise in the East China region.

Currently, officials have not disclosed whether the shutdown will be a long-term closure, a permanent exit, or a phased long-term shutdown. The specific start time for the shutdown and plans for subsequent restarts await further information from the company.

If the unit officially ceases production, it will directly reduce the supply of commercial BPA in the domestic market, affecting the supply and demand landscape of BPA in the East China region, and creating supply-side disruptions for the BPA and downstream epoxy resin markets. The market continues to monitor the implementation time of the shutdown and the subsequent disposal plan for the unit.
