Polymeric materials are commonly used in the manufacturing of packaging
coating. Epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, phenolic, and amino are some of
the other raw materials. Most of these raw materials are the
downstream/byproducts of crude oil. Hence, high crude oil prices are
expected to affect the prices of these raw materials. For instance, Dow
Polyurethanes Europe, India, the Middle East, and Africa announced an
increase in prices of polyurethane raw materials such as polyols,
toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and methylene diphenyl isocyanate (MDI) on
May 2016.
