Engineering thermoplastics February 2022:With the exception of PC,most prices roll over/Supply and demand generally very weak/Minor price increases expected in March/Substantial price rise for glass fibres

摘要

Prices of PC compounds and blends rose in February,as did the PA 6 natural grades.All the other types remained at a rollover and,because of the generally weak to very weak demand,so did the glass-fibre reinforced grades.With the latter,however,further trouble is brewing in the coming weeks.Ordering by automotive continues to be very slow,but construction and EE managed to make up for some of the shortfall.Stocks were only being built up slowly,among other things due to converters'current lack of liquidity.There were also occasional reports of converters shutting down plants.
