Wacker to raise prices for vinyl acetate-based dispersions

Wacker Polymers will increase its prices for Vinnapas vinyl acetate-ethylene and ethylene-vinyl chloride-based copolymer dispersions in the Americas.

Effective February 29, 2012 Wacker will implement a price increase of $0.03 per wet pound, or as customer contracts allow. The 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.
