INDICATIVE CHEMICAL PRICES A-Z

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

This broad list of chemical prices is taken from the 28 August 2006 issue of Chemical Market Reporter (now rebranded and incorporated into ICIS Chemical Business). The list consists of static price indications from that issue. Products marked with an asterisk (*) have been updated to give indicative prices for 2008; those marked + were updated to give indicative prices for 2007. The posted prices do not necessarily represent levels at which transactions may have actually occurred, nor do they represent bid or asked prices. Price ranges may represent quotations from different suppliers, as well as differences in quantity, quality and location. The prices are intended as a guide and not to be used as a basis for negotiations between producers and customers.

If you have any questions, please contact Editor Joseph Chang at +1 212 791 4224 or joseph.chang@icis.com, or CSC at +44 20 8652 3335 or csc@icis.com
