Effective immediately, or as existing contracts permit, BASF is raising its prices for formic acid, 2 ethylhexanoic acid, Isononanoic acid, propionic acid and mixtures based on formic acid and propionic acid in Europe.
Formic acid, 85% / + 100 Euro/t
Formic acid, 99 % / + 120 Euro/t
2-Ethylhexanoic acid / + 70 Euro/t
Isononanoic acid / + 100 Euro/t
Propionic acid / + 50 Euro/t
Mixtures based on formic acid:
Lupro-Cid (64% formic acid content) / + 90 Euro/t
Lupro-Mix (43% formic acid content) / + 60 Euro/t
BASF s customers successfully use formic acid and mixes containing formic acid in multiple applications. In animal nutrition, they serve to improve feed hygiene and digestion, and as a result allow food of animal origin to be produced in a particularly eco-efficient manner. Formic acid removes paints and rust from metallic surfaces and scale from kettles and boilers. In breweries and wineries it disinfects kegs, casks and barrels; applied as an auxiliary in the pharmaceutical and crop protection industry it regulates pH values; in cleaning it acts as dirt remover and disinfectant. BASF is the world s leading producer of formic acid, with production plants at its integrated Verbund sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany, and Nanjing, China.
2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) and Isononanoic acid are chemical intermediates for many different industrial applications, for example for the manufacture of plasticizers, PVC stabilizers, lubricants and drying additives for coatings. BASF is one of the world s leading companies with 2-EHA and is producing 2-EHA and Isononanoic acid at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen.
BASF is a leading supplier of propionic acid. The major application of propionic acid is feedgrain preservation. The organic acid is also widely used in the production of vitamin E and in the fields of pharmaceuticals, crop protection agents, solvents, food preservatives and plastics. Feedgrain preservation based on propionic acid offers clear economic and ecological benefits over other methods, as an eco-efficiency analysis by BASF demonstrates. This study shows that using this acid to preserve feedgrain is much more eco-efficient than feedgrain preservation by means of drying or storage in air-tight silos. BASF markets propionic-acid-based preservatives under the trade names Lupro Grain and Luprosil . BASF is producing propionic acid at its integrated Verbund sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany, and Nanjing, China.
