POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene September 2017: Many producers push through margin increases / US hurricane and transport problems in Germany's Rhine Valley result in supply restrictions / Trends expected to weaken slightly in October	05.10.2017
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene September 2017: Hikes only slightly above cost increase / Hurricane consequences proving not severe / Buying restraint / Similar trends lined up for October	05.10.2017
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics September 2017: Skyrocketing styrene costs trigger three-digit premiums / Still largely strong demand / EPS supply running short / Price correction expected in October	05.10.2017
POLYMER PRICES PVC September 2017: Passing on costs is the norm / Disproportionate rise in rigid blends due to additives / Flexible compounds benefit from easing of short plasticiser supply / Trends continuing	02.10.2017
