SABIC lowers August’s MEG Asian CP by $80 to $1,020/ton

13/07/2015 Argaam - Exclusive

Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) has nominated a lower price for its August Asian Contract Price (ACP) for monoethylene glycol (MEG) to $1,020 per ton, a month-on-month reduction of $80.

 

MEG spot market price dropped to $915 per ton last week.

 

SABIC, MEGlobal, and Shell Chemicals— the world’s top three sellers of MEG— provide their contracts based on a specific pricing formula. They often give their clients competitive discounts compared to the announced prices.

 

SABIC is the world’s largest producer of MEG, a material used mainly as feedstock in the downstream polyester industry.

 

MEGlobal has set August’s contract at $1,000 a ton, $100 a ton less than July.
