Sodium bicarbonate prices tick up as producers offset materials costs

摘要

with sodium bicarbonate demand down due to the recession, prices retreated in 2009 after an upward spike in 2008. But new inflationary pressures, especially rising raw materials costs, could make bicarbonate a bit pricier as 2010 unfolds. For much of 2008, selling prices for industrial grade sodium bicarbonate hovered in the 25-28c/lb range, reports Purchasing-data.com. But for the final six months of 2009, tags dropped to around 2 1c/lb.
