DSM to raise EPDM prices

(May 23)—DSM Elastomers Americas will raise the prices of its North American Keltan EPDM line, the company said. Standard terpolymers and copolymers will increase by .06 cents per pound; standard oil extended terpolymers by .04 cents per pound; and pellitized terpolymers and copolymers by .06 per pound. The company cites increases in the cost of ethylene and propylene feedstock as the cause of the price hikes. New prices will be effective July 1, DSM said.
