All list prices will be adjusted according to grade.
Increasing feedstock and energy prices have resulted in the steady escalation of costs to produce these specialty high performance materials. It is necessary to recover a portion of those increases to ensure ongoing supply and new product innovation.
This price increase will be in effect for all shipments on or after July 1st, 2011. Other terms and conditions are unchanged. |
