Nylon 66 (PA 66) wide-specification and scrap prices are going up again in June. We have seen our buying price for PA 66 off spec pellets increase by about $.03 - $.04/lb. for material shipped in June. Looking back over the past year, I think we have seen PA66 prices go up every month for the past 12 months. Currently both USA domestic Nylon 66 producers are under force majeure due to the Butadiene shortage in North America. The Butadiene shortage has Nylon 66 supply tight in NA with no end in sight. Based on the current market conditions, I think we will see PA 66 supply stay tight through the end of 2010. Prices may not continue to increase monthly, but material will be tight through the end of the year.
Nylon 6 (PA 6) prices are on the way down in China at this time. The PA6 price decrease is being driven by the current softening price of Benzene. Prime Caprolactam prices are down, which is carrying over into the prime PA6 pellet market. We have seen PA 6 prime pellet prices in China fall about $.12 - $.15/lb. over the past 2 weeks due to the falling Benzene prices. Some prime PA6 pellets are currently selling at a price level below the price of prime Caprolactam, which makes no sense at all. Capro demand is weak in China at this time, because most of the nylon producers feel prices will continue to soften as Benzene prices head south.
The Acrylic (PMMA) market is very difficult for us to deal in at this time. The sale price in South China for low end monomer extraction scrap is around USD$1100-$1120/MT CFR HK, and we definitely cannot make this price work in today’s market. All of the major USA PMMA producers have their scrap priced over the $.50/lb., so buying PMMA scrap and exporting it to China is very difficult to say the least. We have been buying material to maintain our relationship with the producers, and to keep the material supply door open for when the acrylic scrap market turns around.

Prime Nylon 6 Prices are up $.35 - $.37/lb. in the first 4 months of 2010!
The price of prime nylon 6 fiber and engineering base resins is going up another $.09//lb. on April 1, 2010. BASF has announced a $.09/lb. price increase effective April 1st, and we expect the other North American nylon 6 manufactures to follow with their own material price increases. The April 1 increase should move the price of fiber grade chips closer to where the suppliers want to see prime nylon 6 prices, based on their current cost of benzene and capro feedstocks.
Dualloy has seen the price of prime PA 6 fiber pellets and engineering resins increase between $.35- $.37/lb. since the beginning of 2010. Depending on where you buy your prime material, either from BASF or Honeywell, you have probably seen some of the following prime PA6 price increases listed below for 2010.
BASF 12/1/2009 - $.10/lb., 2/1/2010 - $.12/lb., 3/1/2010 - $.06/lb., 4/1/2010 - $.09/lb.
Honeywell 1/1/2010 - $.10/lb., 2/1/2010 - $.14/lb., 3/1/2010 - $.06/lb., 4/1/2010 - $.10/lb.
LyondellBasell is pleased to announce that effective on April 1, 2010, they are lifting the January 22, 2010 force majeure declaration for its polypropylene copolymer and random copolymer products. They have fully recovered from the outages they were having at the plant in Lake Charles, and expect to be able to meet all of their customers production and delivery needs.

Prime Nylon 6 Price increases have been announced for March 1, 2010
Most of the factories are just starting to return back to work after being off for the Chinese New Year, which was on Feb. 14th this year. This is the year 4078 of the Lunar Calendar, and is represented by the Chinese Zodiac symbol of The Golden Tiger. The Tiger is a sign of courage, and represents a fearless and fiery fighter. This is a good year for facing and overcoming obstacles and setbacks in life, so look forward to really excelling in the coming year both personally and professionally.
Dualloy expects to see business pick up next week as more factories in China return to work, and gear up for full production. The Chinese plastic market made corrections in 2009 for a slowing world economy just like the rest of the global market. The markets that were most drastically affected were for items that are manufactured for export to USA and Europe. While most plastic materials being sold for items that are sold into the domestic China market have performed well due to their growing middle class economy. I expect to see China’s materials purchasing remain strong through the first 7-8 months of 2010, and then start to slow in the 3rd QTR 2010 similar to what we saw in 2009.
Both Honeywell and BASF have announced a Nylon 6 price increase of $0.06/lb. for March 1, 2010 on all their prime injection molding, fiber extrusion and compounding grades of resin. The monthly Nylon 6 price increases in 2010 are based on the continued rise in the cost of polymer feedstock’s, and increased tightness in the caprolactam market. Nylon 6 prices should continue to be strong through the first half of 2010, even as new polymer capacity comes on line in China due to the tight capro market. But I feel that the price of prime Nylon 6 could start to see some relief as new caprolactam capacity comes on line in China in QTR 3, 2010.
