  1. Where the olefins and polyolefins markets are headed in 2022

    ... will expand more actively while the global average capacity utilisation will drop to 84.7% from 86.3% in 2021. PE capacity additions are expected to hit 9.1 million tonnes (+6.8%) in 2022, with HDPE accounting for about a half of that total. HDPE and LLDPE capacity expansion will outpace demand growth, which will also reduce capacity utilisation. LDPE will have the smallest capacity expansion among all PE types, adding 1.6 million tonnes of capacity in 2022 and even less in 2023. The LDPE price premium ...

  2. Gotek-Polipak: 30 years in business

    ... large number of joint meetings, conferences, and customer-support programmes, where they would not only listen carefully to their partners’ problems and needs, but also assist in solving them. We buy SIBUR’s entire product range from them: LDPE and HDPE, extrusion and film-grade PE, as well as BOPP films. We are closely monitoring the progress being made at SIBUR’s R&D centres, and are hoping that we will soon be able to buy domestic brands of materials that we currently have to import ...

  3. Plastic in 2021: consumption outlook

    ... persisted between January and September 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions. It was during this period that demand for bulk polymers, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene, fell most dramatically. The automotive industry saw the largest fall in polypropylene consumption (a contraction of over 60%). The drop in demand for low-density polyethylene (LDPE), PVC-S, PVC-E and EPS was less severe, and demand ...

    ... production margins. The production issues that played out after Hurricane Laura in Q3 2020 caused the rise in prices in the USA. New capacity additions continue to come on stream: the United States has seen the launch of Formosa Plastics and Sasol’s LDPE production plants, with a capacity of 400 ktpa and 420 ktpa, respectively. In China, Sinopec Zhongke Zhanjiang Petrochemical launched a 350 ktpa HDPE production project and Wanhua Chemical brought online 350 ktpa of HDPE and 450 ktpa of LLDPE. In ...

  5. A rally on the polymer market

    ... me that producers of virgin polymers and processors are maintaining the margins of their business. In any case, if we look at the Plastinfo Polymer Index – Basic Thermoplastics, which shows the overall price movements of nine high-tonnage polymers (LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE, PP, PS, HIPS, PVC-S, PET and EPS) in Russia, we can see that prices for standard thermoplastics are at their highest levels in history,” says Alexey Kalachev, an analyst with Finam. Reasons for the price increase The price growth ...

  6. New polyethylene grades

    SIBUR’s R&D centre has developed new LDPE grades to produce polymer packaging for infusion solutions used in COVID-19 treatment. Infusion therapy plays a major role in modern medicine. It is used in intensive care, surgery and treatment of infectious diseases. Amid the pandemic, infusion ...
