Time: 2014-10-08 Source from: WACKER POLYMERS

WACKER POLYMERS will raise its prices for VINNAPAS vinyl acetate-ethylene and VINNOL ethylene-vinyl chloride-based copolymer dispersions and dispersible powders in the Americas.

 
Effective November 1, 2014, WACKER will implement a price increase of $0.03 per pound, or as customer contracts allow.
 
This measure has been necessitated by constantly rising raw material costs, in particular for vinyl acetate monomer (VAM).
 
Additionally, a logistics surcharge of $0.02 per pound will be implemented for all shipments effective November 1, 2014.
