Arkema raises prices for its high performance polyamides

07/08/2010

Effective August 1st, 2010, or as existing contracts permit, Arkema is increasing by 8 to 12% the prices of its Rilsan® high performance polyamides granules. The amount of the increase will vary across grades and product lines and across regions. 

These price increases have been brought on by an ongoing escalation of energy, raw material and transportation costs, which previous productivity programs and price adjustments have not been able to offset.

Arkema’s Technical Polymers serve the global transportation, electrical & electronics, sports, oil & gas,

and other industrial and consumer markets.

With global brands like Rilsan®, Pebax® and Platamid®, unique products like Rilsan® Polyamide 11 biopolymer, and leading capacities in Rilsan® polyamide 11 and 12, Arkema’s Technical Polymers business unit stands out in the industry by providing its customers with global coverage and superior regional service from production facilities and research centres in Europe, Asia, and the USA.
