BASF raises prices for ethyleneamines

Effective immediately, or as existing contracts allow, BASF is raising its prices for ethyleneamines globally as follows

+ 100 EUR/to for ethylenediamine (EDA)
+ 50 EUR/to for aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA)
+ 50 EUR/to for diethylenetriamine (DETA)
+ 50 EUR/to for piperazine
+ 50 EUR/to for AMIX 1000

or by the related level in regional currency. The markups are due to the increased costs for raw materials and energy as well as the ongoing high demand situation.

The products in question are high-class intermediates used amongst others in the manufacture of agro- and paper chemicals, surfactants for detergents and cleaning products, process chemicals for gas treatment, lubricants, cement additives, and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

BASF produces ethyleneamines at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium.
