BASF has announced a price increase of up to $100 per metric ton for butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate across the Asia Pacific region. The company said the revised pricing will take effect immediately, or according to the terms outlined in existing supply agreements with customers.

The adjustment comes as manufacturers continue to face rising operating costs across the chemical sector. BASF stated that higher logistics expenses, elevated energy prices, and increasing regulatory compliance costs have placed sustained pressure on production and supply chains. The company said the price revision is intended to support continued operations and maintain supply reliability in a challenging cost environment.

Butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate are widely used as key raw materials in a range of industrial applications. These acrylic monomers are essential components in products such as adhesives, architectural and industrial coatings, sealants, and construction materials. Demand for these chemicals remains closely linked to activity in construction, infrastructure development, and manufacturing sectors across Asia Pacific.

The company emphasized that it remains focused on maintaining stable supply for customers in the region. BASF said the adjustment will help sustain production and ensure the consistent quality and service standards expected by its customers across multiple industries.

BASF’s Petrochemicals division plays a central role in the company’s global chemical value chains. The division operates a network of integrated production facilities supported by advanced process technologies and large scale manufacturing infrastructure. Its operations are designed to supply core chemical building blocks used in both BASF’s downstream businesses and external customer industries.

The division runs six major Verbund sites along with several large production complexes located near key chemical markets. These integrated facilities allow BASF to link production processes and share energy and raw materials across different operations, helping support efficiency and reliability in chemical manufacturing.
