Dow Announces Price Increases for S/B Latexes, S/A Latexes, Solid Plastic Pigments, and Specialty Latexes

23-Nov-2000

Effective January 1, 2001, the Dow Emulsion Polymers business is increasing the prices of Styrene/Butadiene (S/B) Latexes, Styrene Acrylic (S/A) Latexes, Solid Plastic pigments, and Specialty Latexes used in paper and specialty applications, by US$0.03/lb (dry) in the United States and Canada.

These price increases are primarily being driven by increased cost for major raw materials used in the production of these products.
