BASF raises prices for formic acid

21-Jun-2010 - Germany

Effective immediately, or as existing contracts permit, BASF is raising its prices for formic acid in Europe as follows:

Formic acid, 85%: + 30 euros/ton

Formic acid, 99%: + 40 euros/ton

BASF’s customers use formic acid and mixtures containing formic acid in multiple applications. In animal nutrition, these products serve to improve feed hygiene and digestion, and as a result allow food of animal origin to be produced in a particularly ecoefficient 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 a dirt remover and disinfectant.
