05.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene June 2021: High prices and better supply curb upward trend / First grades roll over / Standard PP should flip in July / Compounds may go higher
05.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics June 2021: Prices follow SM correction and veer downwards / Discounts usually below reduction / Costs will continue to decline in July
05.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
PVC June 2021: Prices setting record upon record / Bottlenecks still dominate the picture / Demand continuing strong / Rise in prices set to slow in July
02.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend June 2021: Surge of massive price rises loses momentum / Styrenics already moving downwards / Initial signs of improved supply situation with PE and PP / PVC, EVA and EPS still short
14.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene May 2021: Notations continue to rise / Rate of increase slows down considerably due to high price level and falling demand / Price plateau likely
03.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES
