PERSTORP, Sweden (April 28, 2009)—Specialty chemicals supplier Perstorp said it is boosting prices for its toluene diisocyanate product line on May 1 or when existing contracts permit.
The firm said prices will rise by $132 a ton in Europe and $200 a ton in export regions, for all product qualities.
The action is being taken to recover lost margins, and in reaction to recent increases in raw material prices, the Swedish firm said.
