Wacker Polymers to raise dispersion prices in Europe

Wacker Polymers is to raise its prices in Europe for Vinnapas and Vinnol vinylacetate and acrylate based dispersions. Effective April 15, 2011, prices for vinylacetate and acrylate based dispersions will be increased by up to 80 euros per ton, or as customer contracts allow.

‘Despite ongoing cost optimizing measures and productivity improvements, this measure has been necessitated by the continued increase in raw-material,’ said the company in a statement.

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