MOSCOW (MRC) -- Eastman Chemical Company, a global specialty chemical company, is increasing prices on the following products from 1 September, or as contracts allow, reported the company on its site.
EASTMAN PROPIONIC ACID, all grades: offlist price increase of USD 0.06/lb (USD 0.13/kg) in North America and Latin America.
These increases are due to elevated operating costs, especially in raw materials.
