Rohm and Haas Lifts Force Majeure for Acrylate and Specialty Monomers

Friday 10. October 2008 - Rohm and Haas Company (NYSE:ROH) said today it has resumed full supply of acrylate products made at its Deer Park, Texas, site, and of the specialty monomers made at its Bayport, Texas, facility, effective immediately.

The company said its plants are running well, and at or near capacity a few weeks earlier than first anticipated.

Rohm and Haas noted that, while it is lifting force majeure for acrylate and specialty monomers, it is continuing to keep its methacrylate products under allocation for the near term. Operations are running well, but the backlog of orders is not completely cleared.
