WACKER POLYMERS to Raise Prices for Dispersions in North America

Munich, September 29, 2020 – WACKER POLYMERS is to raise
prices for vinyl acetate-ethylene and ethylene-vinyl chloridebased
copolymer dispersions of the VINNAPAS® and VINNOL®
brands in North America. As customer contracts allow, effective
October 16, 2020, prices will be raised by up to 10 percent. This
measure has been necessitated by the increase in logistic and
raw material market costs.

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,
along with supporting investment to secure the capability for future
growth across our focus markets.

Dispersions of the VINNAPAS® and VINNOL® brand are applied in a
broad variety of industries, ranging from adhesives, caulks, nonwovens,
paints and coatings to paper, carpet and textiles.
