05/10/2006
With immediate effect, Germany-based Lanxess chemicals group has increased its prices for ion exchange resins, technical rubber and ABS plastics. The company stated that these price rises are necessary due to the continued high cost of raw materials and the increase in energy and transport expenditure.
The Ion Exchange Resins business unit has increased its prices worldwide for the Lewatit and Ionac product groups by 5-7%, depending on the energy and raw material requirements in the manufacture of the grade concerned. These products are mainly used in industrial water treatment, consumer applications, catalysis and chemical processes.
