With immediate effect, or as existing contracts permit, BASF SE will increase its European sales prices for methylamines and methylamine derivatives as follows:

Methylamine (Mono-, Di-, Tri-) + EUR50 (US$65) per tonne

Dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) + EUR80 (US$104) per tonne

Dimethylethanolamine (DMEOA) + EUR90 (US$117) per tonne

Methylethanolamine (MMEOA) + EUR90 (US$117) per tonne

Methylamines and methylamine derivatives are versatile chemical intermediates with a wide range of applications, such as agrochemicals, water treatment and personal care. They also prove valuable in the production of feed additives.

BASF produces methylamines and their derivatives at its sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany; Geismar, Louisiana, the US and Nanjing, China.
