Hexion To Raise Emulsion Polymer Prices for Adhesive, Textiles, Nonwovens, and Construction Markets in North America

Monday 14. September 2009 - Effective October 1, 2009, or as contracts allow, Hexion Specialty Chemical's North American Dispersions Business will increase its prices by $US 0.06 (six cents) per wet pound in the United States and Canada for all acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic and other polymers used in the adhesives, textiles, nonwovens and construction markets.

This pricing action is driven by significant and sustained increases in raw material costs over the last several months, most notably for propylene, styrene and acrylic monomers.
