Arkema: Price increase on Plastistrength® additives

From June 1st 2014, or as soon as contracts allow, Arkema will increase by 6 % the prices of its Plastistrength® Processing Aids sold in Europe. This increase is dictated mainly by the increase of raw materials.

Plastistrength® Pprocessing Aids help the processing of PVC by promoting fusion, improving melt strength, eliminating surface defects and decreasing plate out. They also enhance formulation metal release properties in extrusion and calendering applications while offering improved cost performance versus traditional lubricant packages.
