MOSCOW (MRC) -- Ascend Performance Materials (Houston) has increased its prices, effective immediately, for adiponitrile (ADN), acrylonitrile, adipic acid, and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA), said Chemweek.
The prices of HMDA and ADN have each been hiked by USD350/metric ton, while acrylonitrile has been raised by USD200/metric ton. The price of adipic acid has been increased by USD100/metric ton. All the price rises are as contracts allow, with non-contract business prices determined on an order-by-order basis, it says.
As MRC informed earlier, Ascend Performance Materials has made their new mask technology available to the public for purchase. In July, NorthEscambia.com first reported that Ascend developed a new mask technology that protect against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, and the material to make it is manufactured at the company’s North Escambia facility on Old Chemstrand Road.
According to MRC's DataScope report, Russian companies significantly raised their purchasing of PP in foreign markets in August partially because of a major increase in demand, imports were 21,200 tonnes versus 17,200 tonnes a month earlier. Thus, overall PP imports into Russia reached 143,200 tonnes in January-August 2020, compared to 120,100 tonnes a year earlier.
