  • How have plasticizer imports impacted the oxo-alcohol industry?
  • Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned. As gas prices and propylene costs have gradually come down, oxo-alcohol producers have been less squeezed.
  • Where are mexiflex® plasticizers made?
  • Under the brand MEXIFLEX®, we produce plasticizers for PVC compounds at our facility in Altamira (Mexico). We also produce phthalic anhydride. Vertical integration allows us the flexibility to manage the supply chain. It also gives us the innovative ability to create materials to our exact specifications.
  • How did plasticizer prices change in China?
  • In China, plasticizer prices moved up in January along with 2-EH prices, then fell back in February owing to slow demand recovery after the holiday. Prices only fluctuated slightly from March to May.
  • Why do PVC compounders use low-priced plasticizers?
  • Some PVC compounders were opting for lower-priced plasticizers - such as DOTP - in certain cable applications (where workable). Their sacrifice of some of the high-performance elements of these plasticizers came at the expense of DPHP and DIDP markets.
  • Why are European plasticizer plants reopening?
  • Producers have continued to operate European 2-EH and plasticizer plants at reduced rates in line with demand. Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned.
  • Why did plasticizer prices rise in May?
  • Generally, the plasticizer sector's H1 was characterized by only slight fluctuations. But in early May, both plasticizer and 2-EH prices rose rapidly, before plunging due to increased supply and reduced restocking activities. Demand for DOP imports was largely weak amid plenty of supply in China, while China has been exporting more DOP.
