Polymer Price Index & Cost Comparisons
Polymer Prices by Plastixx, the PIE polymer price index
"Plastixx" is the name of the PIE polymer price index introduced in June 2005. This index mirrors the price development of plastics in western Europe. The calculations are made monthly on the basis of the market prices for standard thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics determined and published by PIE.
While Plastixx covers the major thermoplastics as a whole, the Plastixx ST shows the price development of standard plastics and Plastixx TT that of engineering thermoplastics. The index base for Plastixx, Plastixx ST and Plastixx TT is January 2002 with 1,000 points. To sign up for the PIE Web service CLICK HERE
