Plastixx
Polymer Price Index
"Plastixx" is the name of the PIE polymer price index introduced in June 2005. The index mirrors the price development of plastics in western Europe. The calculations are generated every month on the basis of the market prices for standard and engineering thermoplastics determined and published by PIE.
While Plastixx covers the major thermoplastics as a whole, Plastixx ST shows the price development of standard plastics and Plastixx ET that of engineering thermoplastics.

The index base for Plastixx, Plastixx ST and Plastixx ET is January 2002 with 1,000 points.
With an index base of 1,000 points in January 2010, the Plastixx Composites is drawn up every month in cooperation with AVK – Industrievereinigung Kunststoffe and reflects market prices of resins and glass fibres used in the manufacture of glass fibre-reinforced plastics (GFR).

Method
Plastixx reflects the price movements of LD/LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PVC, PS, PET and ABS, PA, PC, PMMA, POM and PBT according to the principle of the "Paasche Index".
The Plastixx Composites reflects the average European market prices for ortho resins, chopped strand mats and direct roving.
