Prices for both polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) weakened across the board last week, reports the PlasticsExchange (Chicago) in its Market Update.
PE grades dropped $0.005 to 0.015/lb, although some materials such as low-density (LD) PE for film and high-density (HD) PE for dairy remained a tad snug. Spot PP prices dropped a deuce on weaker feedstock costs.Petrochemical PET Preforms PTA
There were some phenomenal resin deals presented to us, writes the PlasticsExchange, which it scooped up, because they were “just too compelling to pass up.”
