January 30, 2024 Overseas imports brought welcome competition to the U.S. Sodium Hydroxide market in 2023, but as we transition into the new year, it appears this source of relief may be going away.

July 28, 2023 Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) pricing has been climbing steadily over the past few years, as U.S. producers shuttered capacity to drive prices up amidst widespread margin erosion. No real relief for the Caustic Soda market was in sight, barring some big decline in demand somewhere. Now, that demand destruction has come. Global […]

The weather crisis has caused dozens […]
December 18, 2018 Supply: Over the past few years, several factors have led to a global tightening of supply for Caustic Soda. In China, lackluster margins for co-product chlorine and new environmental regulations resulted in steady decline of availability, particularly for US imports.
