| Quality | Natural and black pellets, PCR, MFI 10-15, injection grade, consumer end-use, without certification |
Pricing information deviating from the standard specifications may be normalized and considered for assessment purposes.
The daily assessment would take into consideration price information gathered up to the close of the assessment process at 4:30 pm Singapore time and would follow the Singapore publishing schedule.
Publications for the new assessment would include a daily rationale, a weekly commentary published every Thursday, and a weekly average price published every Wednesday.
The new assessment would be published in Polymerscan, Asian Petrochemicalscan, Platts Sustainable Polymerscan, PCA 409, Platts database , and on S&P Global Energy Core.
