Dimethyl Terephthalate Dimethyl Terephthalate Europe

摘要

July DMT contract prices declined 5% this month to Eur926- 969/mt FD NWE, with a Eur85/mt decline in feedstock paraxylene contracts and lower costs for methanol. A DMT producer said that demand was a bit lower but this was not due to a lack of demand from industrial users further down the chain. Instead, downstream polybutylene terephthalate producers were being forced to run at limited rates due to a shortage of co-feedstock butanediol needed for PBT production, he said.
