BASF increases prices of antioxidants and process stabilizers for plastic applications

Effective 28 February 2011, or as contracts allow, BASF has increased prices globally of antioxidants and process stabilizers for plastic applications by 5-10%, depending on the product. These increases are in addition to the increases announced in December.

According to BASF, the price increase is necessary due to a significant increase in prices of major raw materials such as stearyl and lauryl alcohol, phenols, and methyl acrylate which are driven by feedstock price developments in the benzene, propylene, palm kernel oil markets.
