Kemira announces price increases of 10-25% across its main sizing product lines and FennoSize-products. The price increases of the sizing agents will become effective on January 1st, 2018 and will be implemented globally, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The price adjustments of the AKD-wax and -emulsions result from a challenging raw material situation and increased costs within the AKD-wax supply chain. The price increases of the ASA-sizes are driven mainly by increased raw material costs and tight olefin supply globally. Olefins are the main raw material of the ASA-products.
Kemira is a global chemicals company serving customers in pulp & paper and other water intensive industries.
