Prayon to Raise Phosphate Prices on Market Fundamentals
13 Mar 2015 --- Prayon, world leader in phosphate chemistry, will raise the prices of its phosphate product range worldwide. The increase – around €100 per tonne of P2O5 in Europe – will take effect on April 1st, 2015, and covers the entire product range of purified phosphoric acid (PPA) and phosphate salts (sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium and aluminium phosphates, as well as a wide variety of specialties made from these phosphates).
"This price increase is necessary due to changes in market fundamentals, rising costs and the falling euro", says Valérie Renard, Director Sales & Marketing at Prayon.
Prayon manufactures and markets an extensive range of purified phosphoric acids, phosphate salts and fluorine products from our sites throughout the world. The Prayon products are chiefly used as primary materials in the manufacture of end products. They are used in food (including baked goods, meat, processed cheese, fish and seafood, cereals, fruit and vegetables), drinks, pharmaceutical products (including toothpaste, oral hygiene products and excipients) and a range of industrial applications (for paper, ceramics, glass, metal, and so on).
The Prayon wet processes for phosphoric acid production are marketed throughout the world and are used to produce over 50% of the world’s merchant grade phosphoric acid.
