Celanese: Jiangsu, China, targets 29 chemical parks for closure

摘要

A crackdown on chemical producers in China's Jiangsu Province has slowed demand for acetyls and put more than half the region's chemical parks in jeopardy, according to executives at Celanese. During the company's first-quarter earnings call in late April, they noted that the Jiangsu government had increased plant audits and reassessed its approach to the chemical industry following an explosion on 21 March at Yancheng, Jiangsu, which killed 78.
