Linear Low Density Polyethylene United States

摘要

LLDPE contracts were slated to move higher, and sources talked of August increases of at least 3 cents/lb. Much like other grades of polyethylene, sources said the market remained tight with little near-term change expected on the supply side. Converters and end-users reported shaky demand, although limited availability and rising feedstock prices were working in favor of producers, sources said. “It could be 3 cents. It could be 5. It could be 3 for Nova and 5 for everyone else,” said one source when queried about contract prices. In the spot market, trade was largely stagnant as US values were too high to work to overseas markets.
