Shanghai Sinopec Gaoqiao's phenol and acetone unit restarted on August 19, 2026, according to a plant status tracker. The restart coincided with the company's BPA unit restart on the same date.
The integrated restart of phenol/acetone and BPA capacity at Gaoqiao partially offset the supply lost from other units entering maintenance during August. Sinopec operates an integrated refining and petrochemical complex in Shanghai.
