據ICIS網站8月28日消息 由于需求旺盛，部分工廠停產維修，俄羅斯市場8月份低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）價格持續上漲。根據ICIS-MRC價格報告，本月部分等級的低密度聚乙烯價格漲幅超過25%。

由于Angarsk聚合物廠和Gazprom neftekhim Salavat停產檢修，俄羅斯低密度聚乙烯價格開始上漲。

8月份，由于需求強勁，加上9月份三家工廠同時停產檢修，價格增長動力顯著增強。去年夏天，一些賣方的聚乙烯價格上漲了2萬盧布/噸甚至更多。

Angarsk聚合物廠于6月22日停產30天，啟動推遲到8月3日，由于乙烯裝置出現問題，聚乙烯生產于8月10日再次停止。到目前為止，這家生產商還沒有恢復生產低密度聚乙烯。

Gazprom neftekhim Salavat也出現了類似情況。7月1日開始停產，低密度聚乙烯生產推遲到預定日期后10天。8月下旬，Salavat PE在現貨市場上幾乎完全缺席。

由于乙烯短缺，Kazanorgsintez在8月份減少了低密度聚乙烯的產量。

許多賣家在8月份限制了現貨銷售，價格每周都會調整。在合同市場，消費者報告稱，生產商的限制和許多裂解裝置無法建立更多的低密度聚乙烯庫存。

9月份對消費者來說將是一個艱難的月份，因為又有三家工廠因維修而停產。

Ufaorgsintez將首先從8月29日開始停產檢修，維修工作計劃在10月6日前全部完成。

Tomskneftekhim打算在9月初關閉產能，進行為期兩周的周轉。Kazanorgsintez將從9月17日開始分幾個階段關閉其生產能力，此次停運將持續到10月10日。

7月下旬，108級聚乙烯的價格為74500盧布/噸（運費付至莫斯科，含增值稅），158級低密度聚乙烯的報價平均為76500盧布/噸。

8月下旬，價格分別上漲至95000盧布/噸和100000盧布/噸。

August LDPE prices rose in the Russian market by more than a quarter

The Russian market marked a constant rise in low density polyethylene (LDPE) prices throughout August due to good demand and shutdowns for maintenance at some plants. The increase in prices of some grades exceeded 25% for the month, according to ICIS-MRC Price report.

The rise in LDPE prices in Russia began in late June because of shutdowns for turnarounds at Angarsk Polymers Plant and Gazprom neftekhim Salavat.

In August, the dynamics of price growth increased significantly due to strong demand and the upcoming shutdowns for maintenance simultaneously at three plants in September. Polyethylene (PE) prices of some sellers grew by Rb20,000/tonne and more in the last summer month.

Angarsk Polymers Plant shut down production for a 30-day turnaround on 22 June with startup delayed until 3 August and PE production was again taken-off stream on 10 August due to problems at the ethylene unit. The producer has not resumed its LDPE production so far.

A similar situation occurred with Gazprom neftekhim Salavat. Shutdown started on 1 July with LDPE production delayed until 10 days after the scheduled date. Salavat PE was virtually completely absent in the spot market in the second half of August.

Kazanorgsintez reduced its LDPE output in August due to a shortage of ethylene.

Many sellers limited spot sales in August, and prices were adjusted on a weekly basis. In the contract market, consumers reported restrictions from producers and many converters were unable to build additional LDPE inventories.

September will be a difficult month for consumers because of a series of shutdowns for maintenance at three more plants.

Ufaorgsintez will be the first to start shutting down production for turnaround from 29 August, the maintenance works are scheduled to be fully completed by 6 October.

Tomskneftekhim intends to shut down production capacities for a two-week turnaround in early September. Kazanorgsintez will shut down its production capacities in several phases from 17 September, the outage will last until 10 October.

In late July, prices for 108 grade PE started from Rb74,500/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, and offer prices for 158 grade LDPE were at an average of Rb76,500/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT.

In late August, prices rose to Rb95,000/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, and Rb100,000/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, respectively.
