Menthol prices fell by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today on weak domestic and export demand. Adequate stocks on increased arrivals from the producing regions also put pressure on the prices.
Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices declined by Rs 5 to conclude at Rs 1,285, Rs 1,230 and Rs 1,145 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said weak domestic and export demand against increased arrivals from the producing regions mainly pulled down menthol prices in the wholesale chemical market here.
Following are the quotations in Rs per kg:
Ammonium chloride (50 kg) 900-2,200, acetic acid (1kg) 42-45, ammonia bicarb (25 kg) 475-500, boric acid technical (50 kg) 3,200-3,700 and borex granular (50 kg) 1,800-1,900.
Caustic soda flake (50 kg) 1,450-1,550, citric acid (50 kg) (China) 3,600-4,400, citric acid deshi (50 kg) 3,700-4,500, camphor slab (1 kg) 400, camphor powder (1kg) 390, glycerine (1 kg) 110-120, hexamine (1kg) 82, hydrogen peroxide (1 kg) 33-35, menthol bold crystal (per kg) 1,285, menthol flake (1kg) 1,230 and mentha oil (1kg) 1,145.
