How to calculate the silicon to polyethylene ratio
Silicon to Polyethylene ratio = Silicon price per Metric Ton ÷ Polyethylene price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of polyethylene per Metric Ton of silicon — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $1,923.91 ÷ $7,856.00 = 0.2449. The inverse is 4.083.
