Increases are as follows:

* Formic acid, 85% / + 100 €/t

* Formic acid, 99 % / + 120 €/t

* 2-Ethylhexanoic acid / + 70 €/t

* Isononanoic acid / + 100 €/t

* Propionic acid / + 50 €/t

Mixtures based on formic acid:

* Lupro-Cid (64% formic acid content) / + 90 €/t

* Lupro-Mix (43% formic acid content) / + 60 €/t

BASF’s customers 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.

2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) and Isononanoic acid are chemical intermediates for many different industrial applications, including the manufacture of plasticizers, pvc stabilizers, lubricants and drying additives for coatings.
