Europe Ethylene Glycol

摘要

The Northwest European price of monoethylene glycol surged Eur100/ mt Friday, as force majeure at Shell’s Moerdijk steam cracker, the Netherlands, sent jitters through an already tight market. Ethylene is a feedstock for MEG and diethylene glycol. Shell Chemical declared a force majeure on ethylene and propylene at its cracker in Moerdijk, two ethylene buyers and one propylene buyer told Platts Friday. Shell Chemical was not immediately available for comment.
