美國6月丙烯合約價格因生產(chǎn)問題而上漲

據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站6月29日消息 美國6月丙烯合約結(jié)算價較5月上漲0.5美分/磅，因生產(chǎn)問題導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)貨價格上漲。

6月聚合物級丙烯（PGP）合約定為26.5美分/磅（584美元/噸），化學級丙烯（CGP）價格為25.0美分/磅。

這是自去年9月合約價格達到39美分/磅以來的首次上調(diào)。

由于生產(chǎn)問題抑制了供應(yīng)，現(xiàn)貨價格在整個月份上漲。

6月PGP交易價格為21.50-28.00美分/磅，而5月份為20.00-24.00美分/磅。

巴斯夫道達爾石化公司的裂解爐在德克薩斯州的亞瑟港仍處于關(guān)停狀態(tài)，乙烷只占裂解爐原料的四分之一左右，剩下的部分由分子量更大的丙烯原料組成，因此此次大修所需的丙烯供應(yīng)量比美國平均裂解爐的丙烯供應(yīng)量大得多。

6月4日，企業(yè)產(chǎn)品公司德克薩斯州蒙特貝爾維尤丙烷脫氫（PDH）裝置首次報道關(guān)停，PDH的丙烯產(chǎn)能為75萬噸/年。

最大的丙烯衍生物聚丙烯（PP）的需求顯示出逐步改善的跡象，尤其是在包裝行業(yè)，但由于家電和汽車行業(yè)的持續(xù)低迷，尚未恢復(fù)到危機前的水平。

丙烯的主要出口是作為聚丙烯的原料。丙烯還用于生產(chǎn)丙烯腈（ACN）、環(huán)氧丙烷（PO）、一些醇類、異丙苯和丙烯酸。

美國主要丙烯生產(chǎn)商包括雪佛龍菲利普斯化學公司、企業(yè)產(chǎn)品公司、?？松梨诠?、希爾資源公司和殼牌化學公司。

US June propylene contracts settle at an increase amid production issues

US June propylene contracts settled at a 0.5 cent/lb increase from May, as spot prices rose amid production issues.

The settlement puts June polymer-grade propylene (PGP) contracts at 26.5 cents/lb ($584/tonne) DEL (delivered) and chemical-grade propylene (CGP) at 25.0 cents/lb.

The settlement marks the first increase since September, when contract prices reached 39 cents/lb.

Spot prices rose throughout the month as production issues curbed supply.

Front-month PGP traded in June at 21.50-28.00 cents/lb, compared with 20.00-24.00 in May.

BASF Total Petrochemicals' cracker remains down at Port Arthur, Texas. Ethane only comprises around one-quarter of the cracker's feedslate. The remainder consists of heavier, propylene-yielding feeds, so the outage removes more propylene supply than at an average US cracker.

Enterprise Products' Mont Belvieu, Texas propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit was first reported offline on 4 June. The PDH has a propylene capcity of 750,000 tonnes/year.

Demand for the largest propylene derivative, polypropylene (PP) is showing signs of gradual improvement, particularly in the packaging sector, but has not yet recovered to pre-crisis levels due to continued sluggishness from the appliance and automotive sectors.

The main outlet for propylene is as a feedstock for PP. Propylene is also used to produce acrylonitrile (ACN), propylene oxide (PO), a number of alcohols, cumene and acrylic acid.

Major US propylene producers include Chevron Phillips Chemical, Enterprise Products, ExxonMobil, Flint Hills Resources and Shell Chemical.
