Third Quarter Prices Marked by Raft of Cuts Industrial chemicals price index falls five months in a row and is down 2% since April The list of third-quarter price cuts reads like the index to a chemical dic­ tionary. Among the price casualties were acrylonitrile, adipic acid, aniline, benzene, phenol, phthalic anhydride, and sodium phosphates. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' wholesale price index for chemicals and allied products has fallen five months in a row. The September in­ dex dropped to 108.2, down about 27c from the April figure of 110.2. The index for industrial chemicals has de­ clined since April, also by about 27?, from 123.2 to 120.6. Despite the disheartening price news, chemical business has clearly risen from the recession doldrums. Chemical sales, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, have in­ creased every month during 1961 ex­ cept one. Seasonally adjusted sales in August were $2.58 billion, a gain of 14% from the January total of $2.26 billion. The outlook for the rest of the year is more of the same; sales and output should continue to climb. Because of the chemical industry's relatively high capital investment, profits tend to move up quickly during a period of expanding output. So even though there is a lot of price weakness, profit margins are widening. In the second quarter of this year, for instance, industry sales increased 10% over the previous quarter while profits zoomed 34%. For 1961 as a whole, industry profits should be higher than in 1960, and may come close to the high mark set in 1959. The industry still faces the problem that prices, held down by the compe­ tition that results from excess capacity, have not kept pace with rising costs. And competition shows no signs of slacking off. If anything, it is on the increase as companies scramble for new business now available and con­ tinue to raise capacity. So about the best that chemical producers can hope for over the near term is that prices do not decline further. Glimmer of Hope. The polysty­ rene price situation offers at least a glimmer of hope that price increases needed to offset rising costs can be 50

made in the face of excess capacity. To be sure, the 1-cent increases posted by some firms last month are far from firm (C&EN, Sept. 25, page 2 6 ) . But odds that higher prices will be­ come industry-wide are growing. The latest word in polystyrene pric­ ing is Dow's announcement that it has set a firm 1-cent increase on general purpose, medium impact, and high medium impact resin. The raise, ef­ fective Oct. 9, applies both to crystal and volume colors. This puts the base price for Dow's general purpose crystal resin at 19 cents a pound, medium im­ pact at 21 cents, and high medium im­ pact at 23 cents. Volume colored polystyrene prices start at 21 cents per pound. This move extends Dow's original increase which applied only to general purpose crystal material. Union Car­ bide has also posted a 1-cent increase on general purpose crystal and colored resins. Monsanto, second only to Dow in polystyrene resin capacity, has raised the price of its volume colored

resins, but so far has held general pur­ pose crystal at 18 cents. This chapter in polystyrene pricing began last September when Rexall Chemical came out with a 1-cent hike. Few took the action very seriously. Observers recalled the quickly can­ celled increase that Dow made late last year. But one important differ­ ence is that business is better now, and the market may be better able to support an increase. And even if the posted prices slip back to the old levels, the industry may have gained some relief from below-list selling. Vinyl chloride prices are also on the comeback trail. A 1 / 2 -cent increase made by Allied will go into effect Nov. 1, bringing the price of the monomer to 8 cents a pound. This is the first raise after a series of declines which sent the price of vinyl chloride skid­ ding from 11 cents to Ί1/2 cents a pound (C&EN, June 26, page 23). Heads Declines. Acrylonitrile headed the list of declines in the third quarter. Its price plummeted almost

40%, from 23 cents to 14V 2 cents a pound in tank cars. American Cyanamid initiated the cut, and while it ap­ parently hit the trade by surprise, there was no resistance from other pro­ ducers. Cause of the price slash was that old chemical industry factor, excess capacity. In this case, excess capacity became a pressing problem when Du Pont decided to go basic in acrylonitrile. As the country's largest maker of acrylic fibers, the company was also the largest buyer of acrylonitrile. Du Pont's acrylonitrile purchases were cut by more than 50% last year when it started up a 50 million pound plant at Memphis, Tenn. It will prob­ ably withdraw completely from the buyers' market next year when its sec­ ond 50 million pound unit goes on stream at Beaumont, Tex. Loss of their big customer gave mer­ chant producers of acrylonitrile good reason to worry. The gamble now is that the large price reduction will rake in enough new business to offset lower unit profits. Today, fibers account for about 70% of acrylonitrile output, and the balance goes into Ν-type rubber, plastics, and other uses. The lower price probably will not have much impact on consumption in existing markets. But producers hope that the new tag will stimulate development of new uses. One

promising application that could turn into a huge market is cyanoethylation of cotton. Adipic acid came under the price ax when Du Pont touched off a 3-cent reduction. The new price is 29 cents a pound, down from a long-established tag of 32V4 cents. The lower adipic price is designed to bring in some new, non-nylon busi­ ness. The amount of adipic acid po­ tentially available for outlets other than nylon manufacture is about twice de­ mand. And the gap will widen next year when Rohm & Haas starts its adipic plant at Louisville, Ky. Adipic acid is also used to make plasticizers, polyesters for urethanes, and synthetic lubricants. It has po­ tential application in textiles, as a food acid, and in dyes, metallurgy, and in­ secticides. The question now is whether the 3-cent price drop is enough to build up these markets. Cheaper Benzene. One reduction that was no surprise to most observers was the 3-cent cut on benzene. The new tank car and tank truck price is 31 cents a gallon. The reduction marks the end of supply problems that have recently plagued the industry. The rapid build-up of petroleum-de­ rived benzene capacity plus increased supplies from coke oven operations has more than wiped out the temporary benzene shortage. Benzene capacity

should reach 739 million gallons by year's end, and could hit 916 million gallons in 1962. By comparison, out­ put this year should run about 530 million gallons. The sizable spread between supply and demand causes some observers to wonder if still lower prices are on the way. The price of phenol fell to 1 6 1 / 4 cents a pound in August. Dow Chem­ ical, largest U.S. phenol producer, led the reduction, which was quickly matched by other makers. This cut follows a V i r e n t reduction made last March, and while producers agree that further trimming was necessary, some wonder if the V 4 -cent reduction is too deep to be healthy. Dow says that general market conditions plus de­ clines in phenolic resin prices made the latest decrease necessary. Phenol capacity totaled 830 million pounds a year in 1960. And capacity is building rapidly. It should pass 1 billion pounds next year. Output this year will be about 700 million pounds, and is not expected to hit the billionpound mark until about 1965. Aniline is also on the third-quarter list of price casualties. Its price fell 3 cents a pound to 15 cents in tank car quantities. American Cyanamid kicked off the reduction; other makers offered no resistance. Still More. Phthalic anhydride is another chemical suffering from too much capacity and not enough de­ mand. The shortage of phthalic that had been an industry problem for some time has been erased by addition of new capacity and easing of naphtha­ lene supplies. The result, considered an inevitable reaction to the situation, is lower prices for phthalic. American Cyanamid moved first with a 2-cent reduction that put molten bulk material at 17 1 /., cents a pound and flaked material in bags at 18 cents. An expected consequence of the phthalic reduction was lower prices on phthalate plasticizers. Union Carbide trimmed V 4 cent a pound from the price of most of its phthalate esters, but was bettered by Monsanto who made a 1-cent cut. Other plasticizer producers, including Carbide, matched Monsanto's schedule. Under the new list, dioctyl phthalate sells at 23Vo cents, dimethyl at 25 8 /4 cents, and dibutyl at 28 cents. Some sodium phosphates are 17 cents per hundred pounds cheaper after the industry went along with a reduction made by Monsanto. Under OCT. 3 0, 1961 C&EN

the new schedule, the bulk price for sodium tripolyphosphate is $7.18 per hundred pounds, and tetrasodium pyrophosphate sells for $6.83 a hun­ dred pounds. Unlike most of the third-quarter cuts, excess capacity was not much of a factor in the lowering of sodium phosphate prices. Rather, the trimming was brought about by steady market growth and advances in production technology. Heyden Newport came on stream with its 12 million pound-a-year 52

benzoic acid plant and marked the oc­ casion by "making benzoic acid avail­ able at a new low cost." Heyden's price: 19V 2 cents a pound for truckloads or carloads packed in bags. The lower price, Heyden says, is possible because of production economics. Apparently, there are differences of opinion on whether Heyden's benzoic price really represents a reduction. Monsanto's price for the acid packed in fiber drums is 20 cents a pound. Monsanto says the 19 1 / 2 -cent price

reflects the normal price difference be­ tween bags and drums. Vitamin prices moved to new lows in the third quarter. Ascorbic acid, vitamin C, was cut three times within a month. The over-all reduction amounted to 75 cents per kilogram, and brings the current price to $5.60 a kilogram. Vitamin A came down more than 2 5 % . The new price of dry vitamin A acetate, 500,000 units per gram, is $47.50 a kilogram, down from $65.00.

PRICES Quotations are all per pound, unless otherwise stated, and apply to quantities normally involved in commercial transactions. An effort has been made to confine compilation to the basic quotations of manufacturers, such as tanks, carlots, and less than carlots. Smaller quantities and shipments which involve special packing usually command prices higher than those listed. The list is prepared by C&EN's own staff in cooperation with manufacturers, dealers, and importers. The next quarterly list will be published January 22, 1962.
