“The surge in butadiene (BD) pricing in 2011, and subsequent declines in Asia and Europe, reflected a problem that confronts any fundamentally tight market – end-users buying ahead out of anxiety that prices will go even higher”
(ICIS Chemical Business, March 12-18, 2012)
With both suppliers and consumers of BD keenly following pricing developments, the industry must consider developments and trends across the whole BD value chain in order to make prudent yet profitable business decisions.
Born from the huge success of our annual World Olefins Conference, the inaugural ICIS Butadiene & Derivatives Conference will bring together the entire butadiene (BD) value chain to assess current supply/demand dynamics and explore downstream market trends and developments across synthetic rubbers, latex, plastics and nylon.
Register your place to hear from BD suppliers, consumers and end-users. Our panel of expert speakers will be drawn from companies producing synthetic rubbers, latex, ABS resins, adiponitrile, thermoplastic elastomers and end products including tyres and automotives. View the programme here
As the only conference linking the entire BD value chain - this event promises to provide crucial market insights, fantastic networking opportunities and an opportunity to take stock of the role of butadiene and its derivatives in your business.
