Evonik Industries’ Coatings & Additives Business Unit announces a price increase for all VESTAGON PUR related powder coatings products in Europe, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Near/Middle East, Africa and South America by 8 %, effective October 1st, 2008.
This increase includes all standard crosslinkers, matte polyurethane products as well as the newest crosslinking system developed for low-temperature cure. Relentlessly rising costs of raw materials, energy, labour and logistics have made this decision unavoidable, despite all efforts to further enhance productivity and cost reduction.
The Crosslinkers Business Line remains committed to continue the high level of innovation and service that customers have come to expect.
Evonik offers a broad range of raw materials for the Coatings and Adhesives Industry. Please also visit our website www.smartformulating.com for further details.
