Throughout the first half of 2023, Maltodextrin prices closely mirrored the fluctuations in feedstock starch prices. However, starch faced a decline in the international market primarily due to increased grain and starch supplies, especially from Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. The abundant product availability, coupled with reduced upstream costs, led to sluggish and […]
Malted barley, often known as malt, is a cereal grain that has been germinated through soaking in water. The method (malting) enables the conversion of starche into fermentable sugars such as monosaccharide glucose, disaccharide maltose, trisaccharide malt triose, and higher sugars referred to as maltodextrins.

In the Asia Pacific region, the price trend of methyl methacrylate initially rose in the first quarter due to post-holiday market activities and increased buyer interest. However, as the quarter progressed, rising production in China and weak demand led to a decline. In the second quarter, prices increased due to high demand, but oversupply and […]
Methacrylic acid (C4H6O2) is a chemical compound that is viscous in nature. It comprises a carboxylic group attached to its base atom and has an acrid, unpleasant odor. The compound is commercially obtained as a precursor to its esters, specifically methyl methacrylate (MMA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It is soluble in warm water and marks […]
Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) is a liquid chemical compound that is inorganic in nature. The chemical is watery-whitish in color and has a strong, pungent odor that is highly soluble in water and is hygroscopic. The chemical compound’s melting and boiling point measure around 462° C and 924° C, respectively. Moreover, the compound is also soluble […]
In the first half of 2023, Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) prices in Asia showed mixed behavior due to fluctuations in demand from the automotive, polymer, and EV sectors. Low prices at the start were followed by an increase due to a widening demand-supply gap and rising crude oil costs. In Europe, prices inclined in Q1 but […]
Polyacrylamide ((C3H5NO)n) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer formed from acrylamide compounds or derivative compounds. The compound remains stable in hot temperatures and softens at 220-230° C. It is commercially obtained by the free radicle polymerization of acrylamide and a comonomer, bis-acrylamide, which acts as a cross-linker compound. The polymer is a high-weight polymer compound comprising […]
Paraformaldehyde is a compound that is obtained from the polymerization of formaldehyde. The compound is a stable white crystalline powder that has a characteristic odor of the monomeric formaldehyde compound. It is insoluble in the existing chemical solvents, whereas slightly soluble in water. The melting and boiling point of the compound measure around 120° C […]
In the first and second quarters of 2023, the price trend of sodium benzoate declined in Asia, Europe, and North America due to weak demand from downstream industries, falling feedstock prices, and increased stockpiles. Some regions saw temporary inclines in demand and prices due to positive trading activities and energy production costs. However, overall, the […]
In the Asia Pacific region, potassium benzoate prices initially declined due to decreased market activities in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. However, they rose towards the end of the quarter and into the middle of the second quarter, driven by increased new orders from domestic and international buyers. Fluctuations in raw material costs and the […]
