中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站4月24日消息 由于上游成本暴跌和需求疲软，4月份美国聚苯乙烯（PS）合约被评估下跌9美分/磅（198美元/吨）。 由于宏观经济环境看跌和原油价格暴跌，苯和苯乙烯原料成本呈下降趋势。 未来几个月，随着对运输燃料需求的急剧下降，储油限制正在经受考验，油价可能面临挑战。 尽管一些行业表现良好，但聚苯乙烯需求总体下降。 食品包装需求强劲，而对电子产品和家电的需求减弱。由于控制疫情措施限制了户外就餐机会，一次性餐具的需求也有所下降。 ICIS评估4月份美国散装交付的通用聚苯乙烯（GPPS）合同价格为56-61美分/磅，而高抗冲聚苯乙烯（HIPS）合同价格为61-66美分/磅。 通用聚苯乙烯用于食品包装、一次性用具、餐具和各种其他消费品。高冲击聚苯乙烯用于消费电子产品和玩具，而挤压聚苯乙烯则用于建筑业作为绝缘材料。 美国聚苯乙烯的主要生产商包括NEOS Styrolution、美国苯乙烯公司、道达尔、Trinseo和沙伯基础创新塑料公司。 王磊 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下： US April PS contracts decline on weaker feedstocks, slower demand US polystyrene (PS) contracts for April were assessed 9 cents/lb ($198/tonne) lower on plunging upstream costs and weaker demand. Benzene and styrene feedstock costs are trending lower on bearish macroeconomic conditions and plunging crude oil prices. Oil prices are likely to be challenged over the coming months as storage limits are being tested amid a sharp drop in demand for transportation fuels. PS demand has declined overall, although some sectors have performed well. Food packaging demand has been strong while demand for electronics and appliances has weakened. Demand for disposable cutlery has also fallen as coronavirus containment measures have limited outdoor dining opportunities. ICIS assessed April contracts for general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) at 56-61 cents/lb delivered in bulk US while contracts for high impact polystyrene (HIPS) were assessed at 61-66 cents/lb with the same terms. General purpose PS is used in food packaging, disposable utensils, cutleries and various other consumer items. High impact PS is used in consumer electronics and toys while extruded PS is used in the construction industry as insulation. Major US producers of PS include INEOS Styrolution, Americas Styrenics, Total, Trinseo and SABIC Innovative Plastics. |
