Europe PBT Q4 prices under upward pressure on feedstocks, rising Asian values

摘要

LONDON (ICIS)--European polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) fourth-quarter (Q4) contract prices are under upwards pressure on the back of increases in feedstock and Asian values. Both upstream paraxylene (PX) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) prices have increased in Europe, which could result in PBT values rising in the final quarter of the year, one producer said.
