At an investor event Sanwei Chemical said catalyst business profitability rose
sharply in the first three quarters of 2026. The coal-chem catalyst segment
presents sizable market opportunities; the company will leverage R&D and
product-performance advantages to lift catalyst margins. The 50,000 t/yr
isooctanoic acid project has completed trial-production plan review and
confirmation of trial conditions and has entered trial production. The
cellulose-derivatives and supporting equipment upgrade project is undergoing
technical validation and design optimization. Sanwei said it will consolidate
R&D resources and use its industry-chain advantages to push products toward
finer, higher-end and greener specifications to raise product value-add.
