Chemical Prices, Companies, and Industry Information: Home

Here are some resources to help you track down chemical prices. You may find the price on a chemical supplier's website or through SciFinder's database of chemical catalogs, or through a full text search of one of our databases that covers newspapers and trade magazines like ICIS Chemical Business or Chemical Week. 

For more resources on chemistry or chemical engineering, consult those research guides.

  • These resources are restricted to UC San Diego faculty, staff and students. Use the AnyConnect VPN Client for off campus access, with the group setting on 2 Step Secured - althruucsd (Duo Two-Step required). On campus, use the UCSD-Protected wifi network.

  • Searching for prices of chemical or materials can be challenging, particularly if you're looking for bulk chemical prices rather than the smaller amounts that are typically quoted in chemical catalogs. While some may include bulk pricing on their websites or through SciFinder, most companies will ask that you contact them directly for a quote.;
