After two weeks, today, on Sunday, June 10th, 2018, the PDID Office of NPC, launched the new base prices for limited polymers that should be distributed to those who have the “B-Code” like other weeks of last three years, when the petrochemical units were forced to sell their products via stock exchange.
All in all, this week’s commodity prices were relatively stable, since either they did not change considerably in comparison with the previous prices, or the percentage of their increase and decrease was negligible, with the exception of a few special grades that we will mention.
Price Growth:
The bright SBR 1502, with a 5.2% increase over the last base prices, was still among the top brands with the highest price growth rates. After SBR 1520, the PS 240 was in the second row for the price increase. This product increased by 3.9% and its price raise to 71.954 Rls/Kg.
The 3840 rotational grade of HDPE, also diverse injection grades of HDPE, were among the most expensive polymers with an increase of 1.6% in their rices. Finally the HDPE film and blowing grades of HDPE experienced a growth of 0.6 and 0.3 percent, respectively, at the base price.
All polymer prices are shown at the following table:
