Total Petrochemicals implemented a 2 cents/lb ($44/mt) increase on all grades of polystyrene for May, with another 2 cents/lb increase, effective June 1, according to a letter sent to customers. Styrolution and Americas Styrenics both implemented 4 cents/lb increases for May, according to separate letters sent to customers.
