BASF Increases Prices For Butyl Acrylate And 2-ethylhexyl Acrylate In Asia-Pacific

02 March 2026, China: BASF announces a price increase of up to $100 per metric ton for butyl acrylate (BA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) across Asia-Pacific. The adjustment will take effect immediately, or in accordance with existing contractual agreements.

This price adjustment is necessary to support BASF’s continued commitment to long-term, sustainable operations amid persistently rising costs, including logistics, energy, and regulatory compliance. These factors continue to exert pressure on the overall cost structure of production and supply.

BA and 2-EHA are essential raw materials for numerous downstream industries, including adhesives, architectural and industrial coatings, and construction materials. BASF remains committed to ensuring reliable supply and maintaining high standards of quality and service for customers across the region.
