Great Lakes Announces Antimony Oxide Price Increases
The new pricing reflects recent increases in the London Metal Bulletin (LMB) value for antimony metal and its impact on the cost of finished antimony derivatives. Great Lakes announced price increases for antimony trioxide and antimony derivatives in March, May and July 2002 following similar increases in the LMB.
The LMB value generally follows the supply and demand trends of raw materials. The LMB's current increase reflects the continued impact to the raw material market due largely to events such as mine and smelter shutdowns in China. Further tightening of raw material supply is anticipated through the balance of the year.
