POLYMER PRICES Styrenics February 2016: Notations give way across the board / Declines do not always equal the cost reduction / Material availability suffices to meet demand / Notations likely to turn around in March	03.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend February 2016: Most cost reductions factored in / Declines for PVC somewhat more restrained / Battles over additional price cuts will characterise the rest of the month	12.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene January 2016: Declines exceed the cost reduction / Market moves towards surplus / Imports pressure / Notations likely to slide further in February	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene January 2016: Prices fall faster as the month progresses / Inventories swell as buyers hold back / Propylene at near-record low / Downward trend will continue in February	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES HDPE Pipe 80 and 100: Introducing new ranges	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics January 2016: ABS and EPS follow cost decline / Only PS notations stable / Improved availability / SM's renewed decline sets the stage for further falls in February	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES PVC January 2016: Tough stance allows producers to achieve small margin gains despite downtrend / Notations of ready-to-use blends declining at a steeper pace / Price fight to enter round two in February / Current trends expected to uphold	02.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend January 2016: Cost reductions slow to take effect / PS tends firmer / Potential for further concessions before the end of the month despite surprisingly lively demand	15.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene December 2015: Tough negotiations up to end of the month push level of increases down slightly / January ethylene contract lower / Price reductions expected / Middle East is element of uncertainty	06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene December 2015: Upward momentum gradually lessens / Tight market / C3 trending downward / Integrated producers seek “structural changes” in compounds segment	06.01.2016
