Following up from our update in May, we want to provide the latest details on cost increase and future speculation.

• Resin costs have increased 5-7 cents almost every month in 2021
• Increased wages for drivers and distribution employees combined with a limited workforce pool
• Rapid and significant increases in inbound/outbound freight, and ocean freight costs
• Warehouse supply and maintenance increased costs
• Fleet maintenance and parts increases with limited availability
• Supplyitall transportation costs are up 33% (employee, fuel, maintenance)
• Supplyitall inventory value is up 47% (cost of goods on hand)
• Manufacturer price increases have nearly tripled compared to last year, while the size of increases are close to double digits on average and often greater.
• Manufacturer announced increases continue for July and August.
• Most recent Consumer Price Index for May shows an increase of 5%, the highest since 2008 or excluding food and energy since 1992.

Supplyitall’s management team works diligently to mitigate all increases and product shortages from hitting your bottom line and customer experience. We continue to work with alternate manufacturers and research viable substitutes to products in short supply. Our team will never stop working to give you the best product at the best possible price with a transparent view of our business.

1.) U.S. inflation was 2.5 times more in April 2021 than it was in March 2021. This is the largest increase in over 8 years.

2.) Energy prices increased 13.2% in the past 12 months.

3.) Many U.S. businesses are facing worker shortages as the economy starts to reopen.

- i. Economists expect employment pains to continue through 2022.

- ii. Expanded unemployment benefits and Covid-19 fears are keeping many from seeking work.

All resins have the ability to harden under certain conditions - by mixing with a setting agent, heated, or exposed to light. Such materials are highly viscous liquids before solidifying. The range of synthetic resins is huge and includes resins created from thermoplastics like ABS, Nylon, and Polypropylene. Some of these are referred to as resins only in their liquid form – after curing, they are simply called plastics or elastomers. Some resins after hardening can’t be melted or re-used. Different types of resins exist depending on their chemical compounds which define its properties: silicones, epoxies, acrylics, alkyds, and more.

There is a huge variety of different resin materials, both natural and synthetic. Resins consist of long chains of monomers, which form cross-link bonds during the curing process.

Typically resins are divided into thermosets and thermoplastics based on whether or not the hardening reaction can be reversed. Widely used thermoplastic resins include ABS, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polycarbonate. Most common thermoset resins are polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyurethane.

Thermoplastic resins are basically the ones that can be melted and then hardened once cooled. Within the molecule chain of such resins, there are extremely strong bonds between molecules. Thermosets, on the contrary, undergo a non-reversible reaction resulting in a hard end product. It is determined by the process called polymerization or cross-linking which takes place in such materials caused by the use of a catalyst, heat or a combination of the two.

Production of artificial resins starts from a so-called cracking process, which means that different types of hydrocarbons are heated up to separate molecules. Then polymer compounds are built in order to create a specific resin.

The storm forced at least 50 major outages and closures, including most Gulf refineries, petrochemical plants, and steam crackers; all three propane dehydrogenation (PDH) units; and resin reactors accounting for an estimated 80 to 85% of all US polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) production.
