BASF to Increase Prices for Terluran and Luran Styrenic Plastics
Sep 27, 2006
For the month of October this year BASF will raise its European prices for the styrene polymers Terluran®(ABS) and Luran® (SAN) by per metric ton. This measure is necessary against the background of increased raw material and energy costs. The margins for these two product groups are very unsatisfactory.
Both product groups belong to BASF's range of styrenic plastics commodities. Terluran® is the trade name for BASF's ABS (acrylonitrile/styrene/butadiene copolymer). BASF's styrene/acrylonitrile-copolymer (SAN) is marketed under the trade name Luran®. Both plastic materials are used in a wide variety of household, office, automotive, sports and leisure items.
