Wacker to raise dispersions prices in Europe

Wacker Polymers is to raise its prices in Europe for Vinnipas and Vinnol vinylacetate and acrylate based dispersions. Effective January 15, 2011, prices for vinylacetate based dispersions will be increased by up to 40 euros per ton and by up to 60 euros for acrylate based dispersions, or as customer contracts allow.

This measure has been necessitated by the rise in raw material and transport costs, says the company. Vinnipas and Vinnol dispersions are applied in a broad variety of industries, ranging from adhesives, nonwovens, paints and coatings to paper, carpet and textiles.
