Shandong Fuyu Chemical scheduled maintenance at its phenol and acetone unit, according to a plant status tracker. The notice was dated August 14, 2026, with the unit listed for shutdown.
Phenol and acetone are upstream intermediates for bisphenol A and methyl methacrylate, among other products. Turnarounds at phenol/acetone units can tighten feedstock supply for downstream BPA producers, compounding the impact of BPA plant maintenance.
