Kemira, a global chemicals company, announces price increases for all polymer products in the EMEA Industry & Water segment, serving water treatment customers as well as the oil and gas industry.
The price increases will vary based on different product types and may be significantly higher in specific countries. New prices will be effective for all deliveries from October 15th, 2018 or as contract terms allow.
| Product Line | Product family | Price increase (%) |
| Polymers | Emulsions | 7-15% |
| Powders | 7-15% | |
| Polyamines | 8-15% | |
| Polyacrylate Dispersants | 5-6% |
These price increases are necessary as the prices for the main raw materials for polymers, together with tight supply and strong demand in the downstream polymer market, have all continued to increase during 2018 and are expected to further increase in 2019.
Kemira continues to be committed as a long-standing, reliable supplier of high quality products to its customers.
