New to the PPE Program, this report provides analysis and forecast of supply and demand of the global super absorbent polymers market.  Note: Data from this report is not currently included in our online database, therefore please reference the excel spreadsheet for supply/demand/trade balance of 40 countries and capacity listing.    

This subscriber webinar presentation provides additional insight into the butadiene and derivatives market.  Material is sourced from the Market Dynamics Butadiene and Derivatives – 2015 report and includes butadiene, butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene along with insight into end use market.

EVA is produced by adding varying quantities of vinyl acetate monomer during the LDPE manufacturing process.  The materials covered by this report are ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers that contain 9 percent or more vinyl acetate.  EVA copolymers with less than 9 percent vinyl acetate (VA) have largely been commoditised and are not considered in this report.  The practical upper limit is 40 percent vinyl acetate for the high pressure polyethylene process.  There are copolymers made with over 40 percent vinyl acetate, but these are usually made by solution processes and are rubber-like materials unlike the plastics covered in this report.  This report analyses the global market, including supply, demand and trade balance; assesses technology and provides profiles of the key technology licensors and manufacturers.

Regional round-up of industry developments, regional pricing analysis, and capacity expansions are provided for Q2 2015.
