Price increase for Organic Peroxydes

11/29/2007    Press Release

Effective December 15th 2007, or as contracts permit, Arkema will implement a price increase for all Organic Peroxide products in the Europe, Middle East and Africa Zone. 

Arkema continues to experience increases in raw material, packaging and logistics costs. As a result, Arkema is forced to raise its sales prices by 5%. This will apply to all Organic Peroxide types and in every market segment.

As far as fatty acid based Peroxides are concerned, Arkema will increase the sales prices of its Lauryl Peroxide range (Luperox® LP) by €0.8/kg and of its Decanoyl Peroxide range (Luperox® DEC) by €1/kg.
