SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts clarifies solvents FD NWE methodology

Platts assesses NWE solvents with a loading period of 3-30 days from the date of publication.

The methodology guide currently incorrectly states that these assessments reflect prices for the delivery within the current month period.

This will impact all of the following assessments:

Acetone T2 FD NWE Eur/mt HPADN00 HPAYQ03 Butyl Acetate FD NWE Eur/mt HPAEJ00 HPAZE03 Ethyl Acetate FD NWE Eur/mt HPAED00 HPAZA03 IPA FD NWE Eur/mt HPADE00 HPAYF03 MEK FD NWE Eur/mt HPADR00 HPAYS03 MIBK FD NWE Eur/mt HPADX00 HPAYW03 Phenol FD NWE Eur/mt HPAGF00 HPAYJ03 Hexane Special Grade FD NWE HPACX00 HPAZV03 Solvent Naphtha FD NWE HPAGN00 HPAZI03 White Spirit FD NWE HPACS00 HPAZT03 Solvent Toluene FD NWE HPAFN00 HPAZK03 Solvent Xylene FD NWE HPAGC00 HPAZP03
