Oxea announced a series of price increases across multiple product groups, including amines, oxo intermediates and neopentyl glycol (NPG), citing continued cost pressures across raw materials, energy and supply chains.

In Europe, isopropylamine will increase by €450/mt, while n-butylamine, di-n-butylamine and tri-n-butylamine will each rise by €300/mt. 2-ethylhexylamine and di-2-ethylhexylamine will increase by €350/mt.

In North America and Mexico, price increases include $0.23/lb for isopropylamine, $0.16/lb for n-butylamine derivatives and $0.18/lb for 2-ethylhexylamine products. Comparable increases were also outlined for rest-of-world markets.
