Information on finding current and historical chemical pricing data, industry analyses and reports, and chemical vendors.
Laboratory Chemical Availability and Pricing
These databases list current chemical commercial availability, as well as a wealth of information on chemical properties. When searching for chemical prices, you may find it easier to know the CAS Registry Number number for that chemical.
- ReaxysAllows for searching by chemical structure, chemical name or CAS number. Locate the compound you want and click the shopping cart icon to see commercial availability.
- ChemSpiderContains a wealth of chemical data searchable by structure, name or CAS number. Includes vendor information.
Chemical Commodities or Bulk Chemicals
Commodity chemicals (or bulk commodities or bulk chemicals) are a group of chemicals that are made on a very large scale to satisfy global markets. Commodity chemicals are differentiated primarily by the bulk of their manufacture.
- ICIS Chemical BusinessPricing data for chemical commodities from 2006-present
- USGS Mineral Commodity SummariesContains data on minerals from the 1990s through the present, including industry surveys.
- Chemical WeekNews, data and analysis in the chemical industry. Available online from 1975 - present through the library. View their full website, but some content may blocked and only accessible through the library.
Historic Chemical Prices
Historical data on chemical commodities pricing is even more difficult to find than current data. These resources will have information on historical pricing and economic indicators for bulk chemicals.
