Genesis Alkali, a business of Genesis Energy, L.P., announced that, effective immediately or as contract terms permit, it will increase off-list prices for S-Carb, purified
sodium sesquicarbonate, and feed grade sodium bicarbonate.
Magnesium oxide,
sodium sesquicarbonate, and sodium bicarbonate together increase the pH of the ruminal fluid and increase its buffering ability, stabilizing the acid-base status of the rumen (Le Ruyet and Tucker, 1992).
Tronox Limited (TROX) said on Friday that its Tronox Alkali business has announced an increase in off-list prices for S-Carb purified
sodium sesquicarbonate by USD7/ton FOB Westvaco, Wyo., USA as well as for its feed-grade sodium bicarbonate by USD10/ton FOB Westvaco, Wyo., USA.
In most cases the active ingredients are
sodium sesquicarbonate and various polymers that fall under the umbrella of "polycarboxylates." These are either polymers of acrylic acid or copolymers of acrylic and maleic acids.
