Zhejiang Dushan Energy has restarted its purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant in Jiaxing, China, during the first half of September 2025, following a scheduled turnaround that began on August 26. Though no official statement has yet been released by company authorities, a source in China confirms the resumption of operations.
The Jiaxing facility boasts a production capacity of 2.5 million metric tons per year, and its reactivation is likely to relieve some supply pressure across domestic and regional markets, assuming downstream demand keeps pace. The outage in late August likely served to carry out maintenance checks and ensure safe, efficient operations ahead of year-end demand cycles.
Industry observers will be watching closely to see how quickly the plant ramps back to full capacity, how this influences PTA availability in China, and whether pricing elsewhere in Asia will respond to the renewed output.
