8月俄罗斯市场低密度聚乙烯价格上涨25%以上

据ICIS网站8月28日消息 由于需求旺盛，部分工厂停产维修，俄罗斯市场8月份低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）价格持续上涨。根据ICIS-MRC价格报告，本月部分等级的低密度聚乙烯价格涨幅超过25%。

由于Angarsk聚合物厂和Gazprom neftekhim Salavat停产检修，俄罗斯低密度聚乙烯价格开始上涨。

8月份，由于需求强劲，加上9月份三家工厂同时停产检修，价格增长动力显著增强。去年夏天，一些卖方的聚乙烯价格上涨了2万卢布/吨甚至更多。

Angarsk聚合物厂于6月22日停产30天，启动推迟到8月3日，由于乙烯装置出现问题，聚乙烯生产于8月10日再次停止。到目前为止，这家生产商还没有恢复生产低密度聚乙烯。

Gazprom neftekhim Salavat也出现了类似情况。7月1日开始停产，低密度聚乙烯生产推迟到预定日期后10天。8月下旬，Salavat PE在现货市场上几乎完全缺席。

由于乙烯短缺，Kazanorgsintez在8月份减少了低密度聚乙烯的产量。

许多卖家在8月份限制了现货销售，价格每周都会调整。在合同市场，消费者报告称，生产商的限制和许多裂解装置无法建立更多的低密度聚乙烯库存。

9月份对消费者来说将是一个艰难的月份，因为又有三家工厂因维修而停产。

Ufaorgsintez将首先从8月29日开始停产检修，维修工作计划在10月6日前全部完成。

Tomskneftekhim打算在9月初关闭产能，进行为期两周的周转。Kazanorgsintez将从9月17日开始分几个阶段关闭其生产能力，此次停运将持续到10月10日。

7月下旬，108级聚乙烯的价格为74500卢布/吨（运费付至莫斯科，含增值税），158级低密度聚乙烯的报价平均为76500卢布/吨。

8月下旬，价格分别上涨至95000卢布/吨和100000卢布/吨。

August LDPE prices rose in the Russian market by more than a quarter

The Russian market marked a constant rise in low density polyethylene (LDPE) prices throughout August due to good demand and shutdowns for maintenance at some plants. The increase in prices of some grades exceeded 25% for the month, according to ICIS-MRC Price report.

The rise in LDPE prices in Russia began in late June because of shutdowns for turnarounds at Angarsk Polymers Plant and Gazprom neftekhim Salavat.

In August, the dynamics of price growth increased significantly due to strong demand and the upcoming shutdowns for maintenance simultaneously at three plants in September. Polyethylene (PE) prices of some sellers grew by Rb20,000/tonne and more in the last summer month.

Angarsk Polymers Plant shut down production for a 30-day turnaround on 22 June with startup delayed until 3 August and PE production was again taken-off stream on 10 August due to problems at the ethylene unit. The producer has not resumed its LDPE production so far.

A similar situation occurred with Gazprom neftekhim Salavat. Shutdown started on 1 July with LDPE production delayed until 10 days after the scheduled date. Salavat PE was virtually completely absent in the spot market in the second half of August.

Kazanorgsintez reduced its LDPE output in August due to a shortage of ethylene.

Many sellers limited spot sales in August, and prices were adjusted on a weekly basis. In the contract market, consumers reported restrictions from producers and many converters were unable to build additional LDPE inventories.

September will be a difficult month for consumers because of a series of shutdowns for maintenance at three more plants.

Ufaorgsintez will be the first to start shutting down production for turnaround from 29 August, the maintenance works are scheduled to be fully completed by 6 October.

Tomskneftekhim intends to shut down production capacities for a two-week turnaround in early September. Kazanorgsintez will shut down its production capacities in several phases from 17 September, the outage will last until 10 October.

In late July, prices for 108 grade PE started from Rb74,500/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, and offer prices for 158 grade LDPE were at an average of Rb76,500/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT.

In late August, prices rose to Rb95,000/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, and Rb100,000/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, respectively.
