BASF increases prices for Polyurethane products in Europe

With immediate effect, or as contract terms allow, BASF will be increasing its prices for diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and polyol basic products in Europe by 200 Euro per metric ton.

The price adjustments are related to the significant rise in raw material and energy costs.

The prices for polyurethane systems and specialties will, as contract terms allow, be raised accordingly.
