SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes W African polyethylene, polypropylene assessment

S&P Global Platts proposes to launch on November 30, 2016, a weekly West African polyethylene and polypropylene assessment.

These are for low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, high density blowmolding polyethylene, high density injection polyethylene, high density film polyethylene, homo injection polypropylene and polypropylene copolymer.

The assessed price will be in $/mt on a CFR West Africa basis.

The new CFR West Africa assessment will be published on Polymerscan as well as PCA page PC239

Like the current CFR North Africa assessment, the CFR West Africa assessment will reflect a cargo size between 100-500 mt lots, and will reflect products for delivery 15-45 days forward from the date of publication with 60 days net payment terms.
