Engineering thermoplastics March 2020: Majority of grades roll over / Only polyamides on the decline y Benzene crash to overshadow April / E&E sector could stabilise prices for POM and PBT

摘要

With the exception of the transparent PA grades, which saw continuing erosion, producers were largely able to salvage their respective prices in March - helped by the quarterly agreements. The surplus tendency with PA 6 base resin triggered a downward reaction, while PA 6.6 saw its previously high price crumble again. In view of the weak demand, there were few reports of supply problems, particularly as Chinese facilities are resuming operations again.
