NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Niacet Corp. said it will raise the prices of its calcium and sodium propionates by 5c and 10c per lb, respectively, on or after Oct. 14.

“This increase is necessary due to increasing costs of petrochemical feedstocks,” Niacet said.

Niacet said it will raise the price of calcium propionate granular and powder by 5c per lb, to $1.255 from $1.205, the price of calcium propionate CrystalPro by 5c per lb, to $1.275 from $1.225, and the price of sodium propionate by 10c per lb, to $1.305 from $1.205.
