Polyethylene Spot Polyethylene prices pressed higher, with gains up to $.01/lb seen – HDPE was the strongest segment of the market. Polyethylene producers have a $.05/lb increase on the table for August, and while one producer relaxed their stance to just $.03/lb, no one else seems to be following suit. PE producers as a group are sitting on their lightest resin inventories of the year, this coupled with good exports and rapidly rising spot Ethylene costs.   More info on this is available from: Mike Cunningham Quick Pak Inc 4007 North 56th Street Tampa, FL 33610 Tel: 813 242 6995 FAX: 813 242 6985 www.quickpakinc.com mike.cunningham@quickpakinc.com

Polyethylene prices moving higher. Overall material availability remains constrained; producer's inventories are down, limiting supplies. The low flow of offerings witnessed the past couple of weeks is typical considering the first of two $.05/lb price increases on the table. Trade Reports August 2012 Due to rising feedstock costs, low inventories, and improving global and domestic market demand, our resin suppliers have informed us of their intentions to implement a previously announced resin increase effective August 1st. In addition to this August increase, our suppliers have also announced another increase of $.03 to $.05 for September 1st, which we will monitor and address at a later date. In addition to this latest resin increase we have absorbed rising costs in freight, additives, packaging, labor, utilities, insurance, etc. that now we must pass on.
