BASF increases prices for its formulation additives globally

Effective today, as existing contracts allow, BASF is increasing prices globally for a large part of its formulation additives for paint and coatings industry such as Attagel^®, Dispex^®, Efka^®, Foamaster^®, Foamstar^®, Hydropalat^®, Loxanol^® and Rheovis^® grades.
