Kemira Oyj, Press Release, September 15, 2023, at 9.00 am (EEST)
Kemira will implement a price increase of 10-30% for selected AKD (alkyl ketene dimer) wax-based sizing products in APAC. The price adjustment will be implemented immediately or as the existing contracts allow.
The decision is triggered by cost increases for major raw materials, energy, logistics and HSE regulatory compliance requirements. AKD wax is the main raw material for AKD sizing products.
Kemira remains committed to mitigating the impact of these challenging market conditions while providing the highest quality products and services and ensuring smooth deliveries to its customers.
