Engineering thermoplastics July 2020: PA prices decline despite slight increase in feedstocks/PMMA likely to see distribution war/Slowdown in demand in August/Automotive situation varies across regions

摘要

Western European prices for PA 6 and PA 6.6 materials declined in July,while most other engineering plastics showed little change. Weak demand along with the feedstock costs in the benzene chain,which have so far risen only slowly,make the PA business difficult. This is unlikely to change soon. With costly PA 6.6,processors are increasingly unwilling to pay a price that exceeds the one from before the ADN supply crisis.
