AKRON, OH – Eliokem has announced a price increase in North America of $.05 to .15 per pound for Pliotec® acrylic and styrene acrylic resins depending on the grade and three percent for Pliolite®, Hydro Pliolite and Plioway® acrylic copolymer resins. The increase will be effective on June 1, 2010, or as contracts allow.

 

This price increase is required to offset the rise in the cost of raw materials, which is partially related to the unprecedented short supply of monomers.
