EXTON, Pa. (Aug. 11, 2008) – Specialty chemicals producer Sartomer Co. said it will increase the price of its acrylate and methacrylate monomers and oligomers 3-15 percent in the Americas, varying by product line, as of Sept. 1.
The company blamed the hikes on the continued escalation of raw material, transport and energy costs. Acrylate and methacrylate monomers and oligomers are used in elastomers, coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants, electronics, composites and other applications.
