Composites/GRP December 2014: Resins move down on feedstock fall / Glass fibre products unchanged

摘要

In December, the medium reactive ortho resins covered in this report had not yet fully factored in the price plunge for styrene. After a setback of EUR 150/t in December, the feedstock nosedived by a further EUR 290/t in January. Against this backdrop, the EUR 35/t decline in resins prices in December will certainly not be all she wrote - especially as the phthalic acid anhydride contract for January plummeted, and maleic anhydride seems to be pointing down, too.
