SHANGHAI, Oct 19 — Global synthetic elastomer prices varied on Monday. Enquiries cover IIR, EPDM, NBR, BR, SBR, SBS, SEBS, CR, plus reclaimed rubber and additives like Chemlok, carbon black and vulcanizing agents.
Sources include domestic Chinese brands, Russian, Korean, European and Southeast Asian materials. Inquiries from Türkiye, Middle East and Latin America remain active. Buyers compare multi-origin stocks, focusing on formulation match, lead time and landed cost.
Freight rates on Asia-Türkiye and Asia-Middle East routes have risen slightly. Traders advise advance container booking to avoid extra port charges.
Analysts said demand is segmented. No uniform bullish or bearish trend across all rubber grades. Buyers should monitor supply of individual grades for procurement planning.
