(plasticker) -- Owing to continued steep rises in energy
and raw material costs, from April 1, 2012, Perlon-Monofil GmbH is to raise its
prices worldwide for synthetic monofilaments by at least EUR 0.20 per kilogram
depending on the field of application and grade.
Perlon-Monofil GmbH is
one of five sections belonging to the Semi-Crystalline Products (SCP) business
unit of specialty chemicals group Lanxess. It manufactures an extensive range of
polyamide and polyester monofilament products for a wide variety of
applications, and markets them worldwide under the brand names Perlon, Atlas and
Bayco.
The plastic wires are used for the production of durable
technical fabrics, cords and ropes with outstanding dimensional stability and
high strength. Typical applications include rope manufacture, sports fishing,
the paper and sports goods industries, and fences, bracings and guy ropes in
agriculture. Products from Perlon-Monofil are noted for their weather
resistance, strength, elongation properties, load-bearing capacity and overall
resistance properties. |
