PP-homo imports up 4.5 times in Ukraine

Lack of Ukrainian PP-homo in January was covered by supplies from Russia, which increased more than three times compared to December 2009. Major imports belonged to Stavrolen’s PP-homo – 1.36 kt.

In January, imports of European PP-homo fell by nearly 45%, compared to December 2009. The main reasons were high prices for European material and weak demand for high-viscosity injection moulding grades.

PP-homo demand in the injection moudlign sector is still weak. At the same time, buying activity in the sector of fibres and filaments became much stronger. The share of feedstock imported to that sector in January amounted to 41% of overall imports.
