AnonymousIf FCC folks are having to pay this high a price with Albemarle then I would suggest they speak to Grace Catalyst Co. My 2008 price is lower than this and I would bet others would find the same cost savings. Or at least they should try. Contact Adam Kasle or Mike Federspiel at Grace for a really good price and outstanding service.
