China’s Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Corp (ZRCC) will shut down its 165,000  tonne/year butadiene (BD) unit at Ningbo in Zhejiang in mid-May for maintenance, market sources said on Tuesday.

The turnaround will last about 45 days, they said.

On 21 April, domestic BD prices in east China were assessed at yuan (CNY) 9,000-9,200/tonne delivered (DEL), down by CNY800/tonne from 4 April, according to Chemease, an ICIS service in China.

ZRCC is a key BD producer in China.
