(Arkema) -- Arkema will implement a price increase for its Kynar fluoropolymers products, effective on April 1st 2011 or as soon as practicable under the contracts. Prices will increase by 10 to 15% depending on the type of grades and on the regions. This increase is necessary to partially compensate the continuous raw material and energy cost increases.
With its outstanding resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, and high temperatures, Kynar fluoropolymers products are widely used in the chemical processing industry, high performance coatings, offshore production and in newer applications such as Li-ion batteries and photovoltaic solar panels.
