Wacker announces price rise in Americas

Wacker Polymers is to raise its prices for Vinnapas vinyl acetate-ethylene and ethylene-vinyl chloride-based copolymer dispersions in the Americas.

Effective June 1, 2012, Wacker will implement a price increase of USD $0.03 per wet pound, or as customer contracts allow. This measure has been necessitated by the continued increase in raw material and distribution cost, says the company. 

Vinnapas dispersions are applied in a broad variety of industries, ranging from adhesives, nonwovens, paints and coatings to paper, building products, carpet and textiles.
