Wacker to raise VAE dispersion prices in the Americas

Wacker Polymers will raise prices for vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer (VAE) dispersions under the Vinnapas brand in the Americas region. These prices will be raised up to 15 per cent effective November 1, 2016 or as customer contracts allow. This has been necessitated due to a very high price increase of VAM, the primary raw material for VAE dispersions.

According to the company, this price adjustment will enable it to continue providing customers with a wide-range of innovative quality products and comprehensive technical, sales and customer support services.

Dispersions under the Vinnapas brand are applied in a broad variety of industries, ranging from adhesives, caulks, nonwovens, paints and coatings to paper, carpet and textiles. (AR)
