Today’s price of polyethylene compound

Here’s an enhanced overview of today’s polyethylene compound pricing, based on recent market data and local reports:

🌐 Global Polyethylene Market Prices

• On July 4, 2025, the polyethylene (PE) price in China was 7,313 CNY/ton, reflecting a 0.25% increase from the previous day and a roughly 4.2% rise over the last month 

• In March 2025, global PE prices ranged typically between $1,155–1,305 USD/ton, varying by region—$1,242 USD/ton in the USA, $1,155 in China, and $1,305 in the UK 

🇮🇷 Iran Domestic Compounds Prices

• For HDPE extrusion compounds under the grade HEX 4460 (similar to PE80), domestic listings show approximate prices of:

  • 577,953 IRR/kg for Aria Sasoul’s HEX 4460

  • 604,721 IRR/kg for AmirKabir’s EX3 grade 

This converts to roughly $0.015–$0.016 per kg 

📈 Factors Influencing Compound Prices

1. Feedstock (ethylene) pricing and supply constraints—fluctuations affect downstream compound costs 

2. Regional demand, especially in packaging and construction markets (chemanalyst.com).

3. Currency exchange rates, energy costs, and geopolitical disruptions impacting logistics .

4. Grades and additives—premium grades or functional variants (e.g., filled, UV‑stabilized) carry higher prices 

🎯 Buyer Takeaways

• Global vs. Local: Global PE spot prices ($1,150–1,300/ton) set the baseline, but local Iranian HDPE compound prices ($15–16/ton) reflect domestic production and currency factors.

• Grade-dependent: Choose between extrusion, injection, film, or specialty compounds—each carries its own price profile.

• Monitor upstream trends: Ethylene costs and polymer production volumes directly influence compound pricing.

• Market timing: Seasonal shifts (like restocking before Ramadan) can cause short-term price spikes 

✅ Recommendations

• For real-time and project-specific quotes, consult domestic compound suppliers like Aria Sasoul or AmirKabir and request current technical data sheets and pricing.

• Evaluate total cost impact (material × additives × logistics), rather than just raw per‑kg rate.

• Keep an eye on feedstock trends and exchange rate fluctuations, as these are key cost drivers.
