In August,
HDPE imports exceeded the level of July by 3% and moved at 12.8 kt.
The highest imports were recorded in the sector of film feedstock.
Ukrainian converters and traders increased supply of film-grade
material produced by TVK by 6%, as well as that of feedstock produced
by Shurtan Gas-Chemical Plant and Chevron Phillips by seven and two
times, respectively. In view of strong demand for film-grade
HDPE in Russia, imports of inexpensive Russian PE dropped to 825 mt in Ukraine.
