PS PRODUCT GROUPS
When comparing polystyrene prices, clarity, impact strength, flowability, surface quality, process method and end-product expectations should be considered together.
General-purpose polystyrene is preferred in rigid products that need high clarity, a glossy surface and easy processing.
High-impact polystyrene offers higher toughness and impact strength than GPPS thanks to rubber modification.
Expandable polystyrene is used in molding applications that call for light weight, thermal insulation and shock absorption.
PRICE DYNAMICS
Current PS prices are shaped by cost movements in the styrene chain, plant operating rates, regional demand and import conditions.
Changes in styrene monomer, benzene, ethylene and energy costs can affect producer prices.
Production outages, import flows, and packaging and durable goods demand determine product availability.
For imported products, exchange rate, payment method, payment terms and financing cost are reflected in the total cost.
Origin, shipping route, order quantity, delivery point and lead time can change the price.
