At the end of eight months of the current year the total volume of imports of polypropylene in Ukraine grew by 35% compared to the same period of 2015 and amounted to about 79.3 thousand. Tonnes. The greatest increase in supply came in the stat propylene copolymers (PP-random).

In August, the volume of imports of polypropylene in Ukraine fell to 10.7 thousand. Tons to 11 thousand. Tons a month earlier, the largest decline occurred in the supply of propylene homopolymer (PP-homo). In general, in January – August 2016 the total import volume of propylene polymers has grown to 79,3 thousand tons against 58.8 thousand tonnes a year ago… The greatest increase in external deliveries fell on the PP-random, also significantly increased the import homo-PP.

The structure by type of polypropylene deliveries during the period is as follows.

Last month, the external supply of propylene homopolymers of the Ukrainian market declined to 7.9 thousand. Tons, while in July, earlier the rate was 8.6 thous. Tons. Local companies have reduced the volume of purchases of cast polypropylene and PP-homo raffia grade. During eight months of total supply PP-homo exceeded 61.2 thousand. Tons compared to 45.4 thousand. Tons a year earlier.

In August, the index of external supplies of block copolymers (PP-block) of propylene actually remained at the level of July and was about one thousand. Tons a month earlier. During the period under review it was imported about 7.5 thousand. Tons of block copolymers of propylene, whereas a year earlier the figure was about 6.1 thousand. Tonnes.

Last month, the import of propylene copolymers stat Ukraine exceeded 1.5 thousand. Tons against 1.1 thousand. Tons in July, local refiners have significantly increased the volume of external purchases of polypropylene pipe. In January – August 2016 the total volume of imports of PP-random exceeded the level of 9 thousand tons, whereas a year earlier the rate was 5.8 thousand tons…

The total volume of deliveries of other propylene copolymers for the period under review amounted to about 1.6 thousand. Tonnes.
