ORANGEBURG, S.C. (June 16, 2008) — Gulbrandsen Chemicals Inc. will increase the prices of all polyurethane additives starting July 1 or as contracts allow.
The prices will rise by 5-15 percent depending on type, the company said.
In addition to raw material and energy prices, the firm said there is an unprecedented high demand for elemental phosphorus and other key raw materials used in the manufacture of flame retardants that is also driving up costs.
