Sourcing notes
Buyers in Germany typically source via local distributors with shorter lead times for stock items, switching to producer-direct contracts once annual volume justifies it.
Common spot-market polymers in this region include PP, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE. Tier 1 EU regions typically settle on contract pricing within a few days of monomer index publication.

PP
Polypropylene
Versatile commodity polyolefin. Highest European production volume after PE. Homopolymer, random and impact copolymer grades cover injection, extrusion, fiber, film.
HDPE
High-Density Polyethylene
Linear polyethylene with density above 0.941 g/cm³. Used for blow-molded bottles, pressure pipes, and rigid containers.
LDPE
Low-Density Polyethylene
Branched polyethylene polymerised under high pressure. Excellent clarity and softness for blown films and extrusion coating.
LLDPE
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene
Copolymer of ethylene with butene, hexene or octene. Higher tensile and tear strength than LDPE; dominant in stretch and food film.
MDPE
Medium-Density Polyethylene
Stiffer and more pressure-resistant than LDPE. Common in gas distribution pipe and industrial film.
PVC-U
Rigid PVC
Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. Used in window profiles, pressure pipe, and rigid sheet. Suspension grades dominate Europe.
