Turkey's  Petkim has raised list prices for high density injection, blowmolding and polyvinyl 

chloride  due  to increased  demand  and  more  limited  availability, a  source  close to the 

company said Monday. 

HDPE  injection  and  blowmolding  were  listed $20/mt  higher at $1,420/mt and $1,415/mt 

respectively. 

PVC K67 prices were listed $20/mt higher at $1,220/mt. 

Turkish  HDPE  prices  were  assessed  up $21/mt at $1,244/mt  amid  a continued lack of 

availability. 

Turkish PVC prices were assessed up $32/mt, to $1,000/mt CFR Turkey. 

Tightness in the supply of polymers in the Middle East this year should continue into March with,  in  particular, polypropylene  set  to  to  be  short  well  beyond the first quarter, trade 

sources said. 

"It is very difficult to get certain grades of PP and PE polyethylene," a  Dubai-based  trader 

said.
