Lanxess increases prices for technical rubber products

23/11/2005

The Technical Rubber Products (TRP) Business Unit of Lanxess Deutschland GmbH has increased its prices for the entire product range with effect from November 1, 2005 or the termination of a contract, whichever was the later. For the products Buna EP (EPDM), Perbunan, Krynac, Baymod N (NBR), Baypren (CR), Therban (HNBR), Levapren, Levamelt and Baymod L (EVM) average prices have increased by between €0.10 and €0.50/kg, depending on the grade.

The reason given for the current price rises is a significant increase in raw material and energy costs.
