Chemical Prices
01 March 2004 00:01 [Source: ICB Americas]
These chemical prices are list, unless otherwise specified. These listings are based on pricing information obtained from suppliers. Posted prices do not necessarily represent levels at which transactions may have actually occurred, nor do they represent bid or asked prices. Price ranges, as indicated by the two columns, may represent quotations from different suppliers, as well as differences in quantity, quality and location. Although prices are reported as accurately as possible, they do not carry any guarantees. The prices are intended as a benchmark for CMR readers and are not to be used as a basis for negotiations between producers and customers.
Abbreviations The terminology of the chemical marketplace
NOTE: A unit-ton is 1 percent of 2,000 pounds of the basic constituent or other standard of the material. The percent figure of the basic constituent multiplied by the unit-ton price shown in Chemical Market Reporter gives the price of 2,000 pounds of the material.
