Whether you are a buyer, producer or trader, the weekly ICIS US Polypropylene (PP) Margin report will help you understand how costs and prices affect product profitability.

This report is designed to complement the ICIS US Polypropylene price report by covering several models, including integrated PP production from refinery-sourced propylene, the dominant feedstock for PP production in the US.  Other models include integrated PP production from naphtha and standalone (or non-integrated) PP production  from polymer-grade propylene. With the growing significance of propane dehydrogenation (PDH) in the US, a theoretical model for integrated PP production from propane is also considered.

The models track various market factors, including feedstock prices and business cash costs, giving you a better understanding of market dynamics. They combine ICIS’s benchmark price assessments with plant manufacturing and feedstock yield data provided by Linde Engineering.

The PP Margin report enables you to:

• Review the weekly movements in variable costs and margins for integrated and standalone PP production
• Understand the various factors driving PP profits and anticipate their impact on your business.
