This tool tracks how risky it is to source a chemical (propylene glycol by default) from each country that imports it. Every country gets a 0–100 risk score — higher means more vulnerable supply.
It uses eight free public data feeds. It does not show the chemical's price — it shows the risks and cost pressures building around it.
Each number below has a one-line explanation under it. Want more? Plain description · how it works · data sources.
HS commodity
—
The product code being tracked. 290532 is propylene glycol.
High-exposure markets
—
How many countries score 55+ (High or Critical risk).
Feedstock pressure
—
Rise in fuel/feedstock prices. "n/a" means the EIA key isn't set yet.
Gulf Coast weather
—
Storm risk to the US petrochemical hub. Clear = no current threat.
Highest exposure
—
The most at-risk market right now, with its 0–100 score.
Trade data is annual and lags ~1 year, so 2023 is the newest complete set.

Markets scoring 55+ on the 10-component model.
Leading indicator — upstream energy prices (EIA). Chemical prices typically
follow in 30-60 days.
Country exposure table. Each row is a country that imports this
chemical. Score is 0–100 — higher means more vulnerable supply.
The last column shows exactly which factors built that score and a suggested action.
| Country | Exposure | Score | Imports | Dependency | Duty | USD 90d | Drivers, depletion & recommendation |

Demand counterweight + systemic logistics stress (FRED / NY Fed).
GDELT news volume — global attention, not confirmed supply impact.
NWS alerts for TX/LA/MS/AL — the US petrochemical hub. Hurricanes and
freezes here trigger force majeure.
