Acetic acid US

The ICIS US Acetic Acid report is based on glacial Acetic Acid spot prices in dollars per tonne for the US Gulf reported by buyers and sellers.

The spot price which is also listed in cents per pound can change in any given week, but the range is usually wide enough to last for a few weeks, if not a whole quarter.

The report also contains the latest contract price for Methanol which is a monthly price. Subscribers to the report include major producers, plus a strong selection of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) and solvents buyers plus pharmaceutical producers.

Besides information on Acetic Acid prices and production news, the report usually contains the latest price information on major feedstocks, natural gas and methanol, prices for downstream VAM and sometimes a reference to European prices because Europe is a major export destination.

It is a reliable, useful and widely read source of information giving a price to customers that’s hard to find in any other publication.
