US-based specialty chemicals company Rohm and Haas has reported second quarter sales of $2,081 million, a 5% increase over the same period in 2005, driven primarily by higher demand. Higher selling prices, necessary to help offset continued high raw material and energy costs, were nearly offset by an unfavourable impact of currencies. Second quarter earnings from continuing operations were $192 million compared with $172 million for the second quarter of 2005.
