BASF increases prices for polymer dispersions and powders

Effective March 1, 2012, or as contracts allow, BASF will increase prices in Europe, Africa and Western Asia for polymer dispersions by 80 Euro per metric ton and redispersible powders by 140 Euro per metric ton. The price increase is necessary due to the significant rise in the cost of raw materials.

The products affected by the price increase are used as polymers for adhesives, fiberbonding , architectural coatings and construction chemicals.
