POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks November 2013: Only specialities see hikes / Cost declines help producer margins / Building season ends / Some products tight / Further deterioration possible	22.11.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks October 2013: Upward pressure holds up / Only TDI sees substantial hikes / Building season wanes / Trend points downward but footwear keeps pure MDI robust	24.10.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks September 2013: Higher raw material costs drive notations up / Increases rarely exceed rising costs / Demand mostly soft / Prices likely to move sideways in October	23.09.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks August 2013: Bottoming out of prices for TDI and polyols / Polymeric MDI in rollover / Short supply of pure MDI drives notations / Demand remains weak / Cost increases foreseeable	23.08.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polyurethane feedstocks July 2013: Rebates predominate / Only pure MDI stable / Poor seasonal demand leads to stock-building / Hike plans with little chance of acceptance	24.07.2013
