Resin Prices Relatively Flat for Now

摘要

There were no major price surges for either the four commodity resins or the most common engineering resins in the second quarter. That was due to a global cost advantage in lower feedstock costs and overall growing domestic industry demand—despite the clearly evident profit-margin expansions by suppliers of some of these resins. These are the views of purchasing consultants at Resin Technology, Inc. (RTi), Fort Worth, Texas (rtiglobal.com), and CEO Michael Greenberg of The Plastics Exchange in Chicago (theplasticsexchange.com).
