Malaysian Producer Announces Higher Domestic PP & PE Prices for August

A major Malaysian polymer producer has released its August domestic PP and PE price list, introducing significant price increases across most grades after two consecutive monthly revisions that saw sharp three-digit reductions.

According to distributors, most polyethylene and polypropylene grades have been increased by MYR400–500/ton ($98–122/ton). The only exception is Homo PP Raffia, which has been rolled over at its July price. The revised prices will take effect from August 6 on an FD Malaysia, 30-day deferred payment basis.
