POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks April 2015: TDI points upward despite raw materials rollover / MDI firms slightly / Polyols stable / Sharp rise in production costs could push May prices higher	23.04.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks March 2015: Prices mostly stable or pointing down slightly / Notations likely to rise in April	24.03.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks February 2015: Declines, some of them substantial, across the board / Supply normal to long / Downswing likely to bottom out in March	23.02.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks January 2015: All materials except rigid polyols follow feedstocks downward / Demand revives only slowly / Further deterioration expected in February	21.01.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks December 2014: MDI declines slightly / TDI rolls over / Polyols stable / PO tightness eases / More corrections likely / Demand slack at year end	18.12.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks November 2014: Moerdijk shortfall pushes polyols up / Propylene oxide extremely tight / MDI und TDI softer / Aromatics slide not yet reflected / Corrections likely	21.11.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks October 2014: Little price movement / MDI gives up slight ground / TDI uneven / Polyols mostly stable / Standstill in Moerdijk makes the market jittery	22.10.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane Feedstocks September 2014: Both MDI grades lose ground / TDI firmer despite toluene's fall / Polyols react to PO outage in The Netherlands / Only polyols now pointing upward	22.09.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks August 2014: MDI loses ground / Notations for TDI and flexible polyols rise / Summer holidays depress demand / Little scope for rebates in September	22.08.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks July 2014: Only MDI remains stable / TDI and polyols make gains / Upward pressure persists / Moerdijk outage still being felt	24.07.2014
