巴西国家化学公司9月创巴西塑料销售纪录

据ICIS网站10月7日休斯顿报道 聚烯烃生产商巴西国家化学公司周三表示，今年9月巴西国家化学公司向巴西市场售出超过36.5万吨塑料，打破了该公司8月份创下的35.5万吨的销售纪录。

巴西国家化学公司表示，公司的可再生聚乙烯（绿色聚乙烯）也达到了一个新的高点。

在美国，聚丙烯（PP）的需求仍在上升，9月份售出逾14万吨。

销量的增加标志着塑料需求从4月和5月受冠状病毒影响的美国的急剧下降中复苏。由于经济复苏，巴西国家化学公司使其巴西工厂的开工率恢复正常。在疫情最严重期间，开工率下降至65%。

在美国，该公司的聚丙烯工厂也恢复了正常运转率。

在巴西国家化学公司的产品中，9月份售出18.8万吨聚乙烯，高于8月份的17.3万吨。

该数字指的是巴西的国内销售额。

对于绿色聚乙烯，9月销量超过1.7万吨，这是当月首次达到如此高的水平。

巴西国家化学公司的绿色聚乙烯由可再生乙烯制成，乙烯则通过乙醇脱水生产。乙醇由糖发酵而成。

Braskem sets plastic sales record for Brazil in September

Braskem sold more than 365,000 tonnes of plastic into the Brazilian market in September, breaking the previous sales record of 355,000 tonnes that the company set in August, the polyolefins producer said on Wednesday.

The company's renewable polyethylene (PE), marketed as Green PE, also reached a new high, Braskem said.

In the US, demand for polypropylene (PP) remains elevated, with more than 140,000 tonnes sold in September.

The increased sales mark a recovery from the sharp declines in plastic demand that hit the country in April and May, the result of the coronavirus. As a result of that recovery, Braskem brought the operating rates at its Brazilian plants back to normal. During the worst of the pandemic, they fell to 65%.

In the US, the company's PP plants also returned to normal operating rates.

Among Braskem's products, the company sold 188,000 tonnes of PE in September, up from 173,000 tonnes in August.

The figure refers to domestic sales in Brazil.

For Green PE, September sales exceeded 17,000 tonnes, the first time they reached such a high level during the month.

Braskem's Green PE is made from renewable ethylene, which is produced by dehydrating ethanol. The ethanol is made by fermenting sugar.
