Evonik Performance Materials GmbH recently announced a global price increase for its potassium methylate solution alkoxide, effective Nov. 1. The company said that while all existing contracts will be honored, the price of its potassium methylate 32 percent solution in methanol, KM32, will go up 4 percent.
“The increase is unavoidable and necessary to offset the ongoing escalation of regulatory and operating costs,” the company stated. “Evonik appreciates the long-term and solid relationships with our business partners and will remain focused on providing high-quality products and excellence in value-added services.”
