MOSCOW (MRC) - Arlanxeo, a global leader in performance elastomers, raises its prices for ethylene propylene diene rubber grades (EPDM), as per the company's press release.
Thus, prices for the mentioned abouve product increases, as follows:
- in Europe, Middle East and Africa effective as of June 18th, 2018 up to 125 euro per metric ton;
- in Latin America effective as of June 18th, 2018 up to 150 USD per metric ton.
Arlanxeo distributes EPDM under the brand name Keltan.
EPDM products are used in applications like automotive, building & construction, plastics modification, consumer goods, cable & wire, and tubes.
As MRC wrote previously, in September 2017, Arlanxeo presented its solutions from the TSR business unit for the first time. Thanks to its good adhesion, aging resistance and low air permeability, the product X_Butyl is the ideal polymer for numerous adhesive applications, such as transparent adhesive tapes, sealants for double glazing, high-quality hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives, vinyl floor adhesives and even sealants for roofing membranes. X_Butyl is also used for self-fluxing, semiconducting electrical splicing tapes, thereby avoiding the need for separate layers of adhesives.
Arlanxeo was established in April 2016 as a joint venture of Lanxess - a world-leading specialty chemicals company based in Cologne, Germany - and Saudi Aramco - a major global energy and chemicals enterprise headquartered in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The two partners each hold a 50-percent interest in the joint venture. The business operations of Arlanxeo are assigned to the High Performance Elastomers and Tire & Specialty Rubbers business units.
