PA66 prices, PBT prices

PA6 and PA66 producers have succeeded in implementing substantial price increases during the last three months. PA6 sellers were looking for increases ranging between €300-400/tonne to compensate for an explosion in the cost of benzene, caprolactam and additives while adipic acid, the key PA66 feedstock, has risen by €150/tonne during the first quarter.
In early May, PA6 natural grade at the lower end of the price scale was close to €400/tonne higher and PA66 natural grade material prices were trading around €130/tonne higher compared with early February levels.
