​Kemira announces price increase for its pulp & paper process chemical product line in APAC. The adjustment will be effective January 9, 2017 or as customer contracts allow.

The price increase of polymers, surface sizes, coating chemicals and dispersants will be approximately 5-10%, depending on the specific customer segment and applications, and can differ for specific product types in selected geographies. This adjustment is necessary due to overall increased production and raw material costs.
