BASF to increase prices for Afranil Deaerators and Defoamers

Wednesday 30. January 2008 - Effective February 1, 2008, or as contracts allow, BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, will raise prices by up to 20% for Afranil deaerators and defoamers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The measures are the result of significant rises in key raw material costs. For BASF these price increases are necessary to remain a reliable supplier of innovative paper chemicals.

As a leading supplier, BASF develops, produces and markets chemicals for the paper industry for the manufacture and finishing of paper and cardboard. BASF’s particular strengths are effective research and development, global applications technology expertise, and the Paper Technical Center in Ludwigshafen. The business is part of the Acrylics & Dispersions division which in turn belongs to the BASF Performance Products segment
