INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY NETWORK

Different producers and origins depending on family, grade and availability

Deltachem can arrange supply of polymers manufactured in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Final selection depends on the family, qualification, logistics and commercial terms.

Europe

Depending on family and grade, we can work with materials from producers such as ORLEN/Unipetrol or Petkim, among others.

USA / Americas

Depending on product and availability, supply may include manufacturers such as ExxonMobil, Chevron Phillips Chemical or Formosa Plastics.

Asia and the Middle East

Depending on the product reference, we can work with grades from producers such as LG Chem, Hanwha or SABIC, as well as other origins.

EPS: for this family, we keep producer identities confidential and discuss each origin privately with the customer.
SUPPLY FOR PROCESSORS

Spot purchasing opportunities matched to the application

We look for raw material purchasing opportunities to improve acquisition costs and support the processor’s competitiveness or margin.

Selection starts with the polymer, grade, specifications, volume and required lead time. Price, availability and terms are confirmed for each transaction; no standing offers or guaranteed savings are published.

For EPS, manufacturers and origins are handled confidentially.
