Platts to revamp Asian intermediates commentaries

In order to streamline the intermediates commentary pages on PCA, Platts will expand the length of those pages for Asian acetic acid & vinyl acetate monomer, acrylonitrile, ethylene dichloride & vinyl chloride monomer, caprolactam, and purified terephthalic acid, while intermediates jump pages for these products will be discontinued from March 22.

The page numbers of the daily and weekly intermediates assessments on PCA will be unchanged.

AA/VAM commentaries: PCA697 (discontinued: PCA953) ACN commentaries: PCA941 (discontinued: PCA942) EDC/VCM commentaries: PCA687 (discontinued: PCA955) CPL commentaries: PCA418 (discontinued: PCA956) PTA commentaries: PCA691 (discontinued: PCA954)
