Chemical Conversations: K-show plastics preview - PTI

In the lead-up to K, the world’s largest plastics and rubber event, our limited podcast series, ‘K-show plastics preview’, features Argus experts discussing the latest market developments across key polymer and feedstock sectors. From pricing trends and policy shifts to regional supply dynamics, the series offers timely insights to help industry participants stay informed and ahead of the curve.

In our second episode, we turn our attention to the Polyethylene Transaction Index (PTI), with Terry Glass, Vice President for Polymers, joining James Elliott, VP Business Development, to explain how the index works and why it matters.

Key topics discussed

  • What the PTI is, how it’s calculated, and why it was developed in response to rising US polyethylene exports.

  • How the index supports resin producers, converters, brand owners and investors with early-month pricing clarity and resin-type granularity.

  • Why PTI offers a neutral, transparent view of domestic prices.

Click here to receive the PTI on the first working day of every month.
