During a review of its specifications, Fastmarkets has identified a necessary clarification to the specification for its arsenic price assessment.
Fastmarkets has updated the price description of its fortnightly price assessment for arsenic to Arsenic, 99% min As, in-whs Rotterdam, $ per lb, to match the quality listed in the detail specification list. It previously, and erroneously, was listed as Arsenic, 99.7% min As, in-whs Rotterdam, $ per lb, although the quality listed in the detailed specifications was correct.
