Arkema raises prices for latex products
ERJ staff report (DS)
Cary, North Carolina -- Effective September 15, 2010 or as contracts allow, Arkema Emulsion Systems will increase pricing on all latex products. Ucar acrylic, styrene-acrylic, styrene-butadiene and Neocar Acrylic latexes will increase by $0.05 per wet pound. Ucar vinyl-acrylic, Evocar vinyl acetate-ethylene and Neocar Latexes will increase by $0.02 per wet pound.
Arkema said, "This action is necessary due to continued increases in cost of key raw materials. Also, due to ongoing shortages of acrylic monomers, some acrylic latex products will remain on sales control until further notice."
