The earthquake in central China near Chengdu that has claimed almost 15000 lives is likely to cause economic damage to Sichuan Province and the nearby Chongqing municipality. Some key resin companies in the region have stopped production, include PVC makers Yibin Tianyuan Group, Sichuan Jinlu Resin and Sichuan Yongxiong. Paralysed transportation and power grids have affected resin sales and trading around Chengdu. 66 companies affected by the quake have ceased trading of their stocks.
