Air Products raises Alkyalkanolamines prices

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (April 17)—Air Products and Chemicals Inc. will raise the prices of North American alkyalkanolamine-based products by five cents per pound effective April 15, the company said. Products affected will include Dabco-brand DMEA catalyst, used in polyurethane foam production, and MMEA, MDEA, DMEA and DEEA marketed as Amietol-brand M11, M12, M21 and E21, respectively.
