Chlor-alkali and PVC production relies on these energy sources to power assets and so they are an important component of the variable production costs. Generally, chlor-vinyls production is energy intensive. The changes in crude, natural gas and coal prices cascade down the vinyls value chain and result in shifts in feedstock prices and ultimately PVC. In China, coal is vital for the PVC industry because of the prominence of the carbide-based PVC production route via acetylene.

Naphtha derived from crude oil and ethane derived from natural gas are cracker feeds in the production of ethylene, one of the key building blocks for PVC. Crude oil, natural gas and coal all have an influence in shaping the PVC price direction.

In this blog post, these factors will be reviewed and presented in relation to the current market dynamics and global price environment.ДЇirstly, upstream energy values need to be considered because fundamentally energy drives all petrochemical prices, including PVC. Beyond this, other factors along the value chain also impact PVC prices. Various factors drive PVC prices, principally supply-demand fundamentals and production costs, although things are complicated by the inherent connection to chlor-alkali. On 15 October, the China suspension-PVC (S-PVC) pipe ex-works price reached a record 14,900 yuan/t, although in the second half of October and first week of November, prices have retreated. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) prices around the world are at or near record highs.

Usually you can access these card indexes in the LibraryвЂ™s Family History & Newspaper Reading Rooms. If you find a reference here you could look in Argus issues around the same date. The Library does not have indexes for the Argus covering this time period, but it holds card indexes for similar papers: You can also try checking newspaper indexes for mentions of multiple sets of twins being born, as they may give you a reference to a specific day/issue of a paper, when this story was featured.

You can search digitised copies of the Argus up to 1957 for free online, on Trove. There are two approaches you can take to your search. The Argus, Monday 28 July 1952, back page It was not until the late 1980s that colour became a daily feature of newspapers, so The Argus was certainly well ahead of its time. Sometimes, printing problems resulted in The Argus missing all early morning sales as it was not distributed until after 9 or 10 am.

However, former staff recall that the colour printers purchased by the paperвЂ™s new owners to rescue the struggling paper were unreliable and very expensive. Circulation increased by up to 25% for issues covering these special events. Before then it was the envy of the newspaper world, especially when it published colour photos for the Olympics, the Melbourne Cup and the QueenвЂ™s visit in 1954. The Argus did print in colour regularly, but their dream was short-lived as the newspaper closed in January 1957. It proves that color news photography for daily journalism is a practical proposition and no longer a newspaper-manвЂ™s dream.вЂќ

It is the first time ever that a newspaper anywhere in the world has produced a high-speed action news picture in color within hours of the event. The Argus wrote вЂњHereвЂ™s a picture that makes news вЂ“ and newspaper history, too. This was accompanied by a photo of the AV Hiskens steeplechase at Moonee Valley the previous Saturday. The front page banner was printed in garish alternate blue and red block letters, which hopefully has never been repeated. In what was a technological marvel for its time, there were coloured photos of sporting events on the front and back pages.
