Rohm and Haas raises prices

19/03/2008
The packaging and building materials business of US-based chemicals company Rohm and Haas Company is to increase all acrylic, vinyl acrylic and styrene acrylic based emulsions and solution acrylic polymers sold to the North American pressure sensitive adhesives, textile, nonwoven and construction adhesives industries. The increase, which will be between 6% and 8% will take effect on April 1, or as contracts allow.

According to the company, these increases are necessary as a result of higher petroleum-based feedstock materials prices, increases in freight and transportation costs and further increases in energy costs.
