(wacker) --
The Germany-headquartered manufacturer Wacker Polymers exercised an
increase of prices for a range of products. 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 USD0.03 per wet pound, or as customer contracts
allow. This 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.
Wacker Polymers is a leading
producer of state-of-the-art binders and polymer additives in the form of
dispersible polymer powders and dispersions, polyvinyl acetates, surface coating
resins and polyvinyl alcohol solutions. These products are used by companies in
the construction, automotive, paper and adhesives sectors, as well as by
manufacturers of printing inks and surface coatings. Wacker Polymers has
production sites in Germany, China, South Korea and the USA, as well as a global
sales network and technology centers in all major regions.
