Wacker to raise prices for dispersions in Americas

Wacker Polymers is to raise its prices for Vinnapas vinyl acetate-ethylene and ehtylene-vinyl chloride-based copolymer dispersions in the Americas. Effective October 14, Wacker will implement a price increase of USD $0.03 per wet pound, or as customer contracts allow. The company says that the measure has been necessitated by the continued increase in raw material and distribution cost.

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