BASF announces a further price increase for products within its global portfolio of antioxidants, process stabilizers and light stabilizers for plastic applications by up to 25 per cent. This adjustment is in addition to the price increase announced in March and will be effective immediately.
The price adjustment is in response to the substantial increases in raw material prices, energy and logistic costs due to the military conflict in the Middle East.
