BASF and other diaper raw material suppliers collectively announced price increases in April

Under the situation of force majeure such as the spread of the epidemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war, chemical giants such as BASF, Sumitomo Chemical, Dow and other chemical giants have issued letters of price increase in April. Materials such as polypropylene (PP) produced by the base film non-woven fabric are involved. On the other hand, the price of pulp also has an obvious upward trend. On March 23, pulp futures stood at the 7,000 mark. Brazil's Suzano Paper, the world's largest pulp producer, announced an increase in the price of fluff pulp used in sanitary products such as diapers by $100 per ton.
