Polypropylene Extrusion Process Materials And Industrial Applications
April 16, 2026
Polypropylene is one of the most widely used plastic materials in modern manufacturing. Across industries such as packaging, construction, textiles, automotive, and agriculture, Polypropylene is a practical solution for manufacturers. The long-term importance of Polypropylene extrusion comes from the combination of two strengths. The first is the adaptability of Polypropylene resin itself, which offers low density, chemical resistance, and reliable performance. The second is the efficiency of the extrusion process, which allows manufacturers to produce films, sheets, pipes, fibers, and profiles at high output rates with consistent quality. When these two factors work together, Polypropylene extrusion becomes one of the

ASIAN PP MARKET UPDATE – DRIVEN BY ENERGY AND FEEDSTOCK VOLATILITY
April 11, 2026
Asian Market According to Platts, PP prices in Northeast Asia declined this week. PP yarn and injection grades decreased. In Southeast Asia, most PP grades (yarn/injection, BOPP, IPP film, and block copolymer) stayed stable, except in Vietnam. Impact Of Geopolitical Tensions The Asian PP market experiences strong fluctuations due to the US-Iran conflict. Although both sides have announced a temporary ceasefire for about two weeks, maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz remains highly tense. Vessel traffic through the strait is still limited, raising concerns about prolonged supply disruptions. Most polymer suppliers in the region are maintaining firm offer levels,

OIL PLUNGES AFTER US-IRAN CEASEFIRE DEAL TO REOPEN STRAIT OF HORMUZ
April 11, 2026
Global oil prices have fallen sharply, and stock markets have jumped after the US and Iran agreed to reach a two-week ceasefire agreement that includes the reopening of the key Strait of Hormuz waterway. The price of benchmark Brent crude fell by about 13% to $94.80 (£70.73) a barrel, US-traded oil was more than 15% lower at $95.75. The decline in oil prices following the ceasefire agreement is likely to exert short-term downward pressure on upstream petrochemical feedstocks such as ethylene and propylene, thereby driving a potential price adjustment in plastic resins. However, as crude oil prices remain significantly above

A Complete Guide To General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) In Manufacturing
April 11, 2026
General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) is a transparent thermoplastic widely used in packaging, consumer goods, and laboratory products. With efficient processing performance, this thermoplastic is an important material in modern manufacturing. Explore this article by TLD Vietnam to learn more about the properties, advantages, applications, and processing methods of GPPS. What Is GPSS? GPSS is a transparent thermoplastic polymer produced through the polymerization of styrene monomers. The material belongs to the polystyrene family. GPPS is one of the most widely used forms of polystyrene in the manufacturing and packaging industries. The polymer structure is characterized by a linear arrangement of styrene
