WACKER POLYMERS to Raise Prices for Dispersions, Resins and Dispersible Powders globally

Munich, March 2, 2021 – WACKER POLYMERS is to raise its prices for dispersions, resins and dispersible polymer powders globally. Effective March 15, 2021, prices for its complete
product range will be increased by up to ten percent, or as customer contracts allow. This measure has been necessitated by the increase in raw material costs and extreme  tightness on various raw materials.

The price adjustment enables WACKER POLYMERS to continue providing customers with a wide-range of innovative quality products and comprehensive technical, sales and customer support services. Dispersions and dispersible polymer powders of the VINNAPAS® brand are applied in a broad variety of industries, ranging from construction, adhesives, caulks, nonwovens, paints and coatings to paper, carpet and textiles.
