In summer, lack of pipe grades was covered by growing imports. This
year, apart from the popular Borealis’s RA130E grade, Russian companies
have begun to import grades of other European producers. There appeared
PP-random grades of LyondellBasell and Sabic (Hostalen PP H5416 and
Vestolen P9421, respectively). In October, overall imports of
pipe-grade PP moved at 1.5 kt in Russia.
Tomskneftekhim resumed PP-random production in September. Output of the Russian producer exceeded 500 mt in October. |
Nizhnekamskneftekhim is expectedly to resume production of pipe-grade
PP at the end of November. Prices for Russian material vary within the
range of RUB50.000–52.000/mt, including VAT, FCA. In October, European
feedstock was offered on average at EUR1.010–1.050/mt, FCA.
