MOGADORE, Ohio (Aug. 17) — RohmNova — a joint venture of Rohm and Haas Co. and Omnova Solutions Inc. — will increase prices for coating latices for the paper and paperboard markets, effective Sept. 15.
The company will hike the prices on styrene butadiene, styrene butadiene acrylonitrile and hollow sphere pigment by 4 cents per dry pound. The increase is due to continued escalation in feedstock, transportation and raw material costs, the company said.
RohmNova´s offerings include latex binders, coating additives, and synthetic pigments for coated paper and paperboard.
