Lanxess raises prices for CR, NBR

ERJ staff report (DS)

Leverkusen, Germany - Lanxess AG has increased its prices for

NBR (nitrile-butadiene rubber) and CR (chloroprene rubber) globally

effective September 1, 2009. Dependent on regions the price adjustment

per metric ton comprises up to EUR 190/USD 266 for NBR and up to

EUR 150/USD 210 for CR. This adjustment, said Lanxess, is unavoidable because the

costs for raw materials have risen significantly.

Marketed under the brand names Perbunan, Krynac and

Baymod N the rubber grade NBR is used for seals, hoses in hydraulic

and pneumatic applications or blankets for rolls. CR, which sells under the name Baypren, is appropiate to produce e.g. cable

sheathings, hoses, belts and air springs
