SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to launch West African PE, PP assessments

Platts has decided to launch West African polyethylene and polypropylene assessments on November 30, 2016. 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.

The new CFR West Africa assessments will be published in polymer scan as well as on petrochemical alert 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.
