Lanxess to increase price of some leather chemicals

It cited “constantly rising raw material costs” as the reason for this measure.
It includes selected chrome chemicals, such as basic chrome sulfate (which Lanxess markets under the Chromosal tradename), chromic acid and sodium dichromate, which will see their price increase by up to 10 per cent.
Dr Thomas Brackemeyer, head of the Organic Leather Chemicals business line of Lanxess’s leather business unit, explained: “In the course of the continuous review of our raw material exposures, we see steadily rising costs in the area of chrome ore, basic chemicals, solvents and silicones, used for the production of chrome and leather chemicals. For this reason we take this second step in 2018 to adjust the prices for selected products.”
