The Polyethylene market was quite busy this past week, which spanned the end of Nov and beginning of Dec. Spot material availability remained plentiful and despite the significant strength in the energy complex, PE prices continued to slide - most grades shed another cent. Incremental export demand has languished and Houston warehouses are currently full of resin with packaging lines Running at capacity - some are booked through the end of the year.

In the Meantime, buyers have been tapping the spot market, which has been well discounted to contracts, to fill in supply gaps along the way. As s

Different types of wire are not interchangeable in a given stapler.

When it comes to protecting products, or holding products together and intact for transport; stretch and shrink wrapping are often employed. Although these two types of wrapping have many differences, they are often confused.   We aim to outline the differences between the two products and under what application they are both utilized.
