美国6月丙烯合约价格因生产问题而上涨

据ICIS网站6月29日消息 美国6月丙烯合约结算价较5月上涨0.5美分/磅，因生产问题导致现货价格上涨。

6月聚合物级丙烯（PGP）合约定为26.5美分/磅（584美元/吨），化学级丙烯（CGP）价格为25.0美分/磅。

这是自去年9月合约价格达到39美分/磅以来的首次上调。

由于生产问题抑制了供应，现货价格在整个月份上涨。

6月PGP交易价格为21.50-28.00美分/磅，而5月份为20.00-24.00美分/磅。

巴斯夫道达尔石化公司的裂解炉在德克萨斯州的亚瑟港仍处于关停状态，乙烷只占裂解炉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组成，因此此次大修所需的丙烯供应量比美国平均裂解炉的丙烯供应量大得多。

6月4日，企业产品公司德克萨斯州蒙特贝尔维尤丙烷脱氢（PDH）装置首次报道关停，PDH的丙烯产能为75万吨/年。

最大的丙烯衍生物聚丙烯（PP）的需求显示出逐步改善的迹象，尤其是在包装行业，但由于家电和汽车行业的持续低迷，尚未恢复到危机前的水平。

丙烯的主要出口是作为聚丙烯的原料。丙烯还用于生产丙烯腈（ACN）、环氧丙烷（PO）、一些醇类、异丙苯和丙烯酸。

美国主要丙烯生产商包括雪佛龙菲利普斯化学公司、企业产品公司、埃克森美孚公司、希尔资源公司和壳牌化学公司。

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.
