BOSTON—Cabot Corp. will increase prices for its Plasblak masterbatches and Cabelec conductive compounds and concentrates as much as 5 percent globally.
This price increase, which takes effect Oct. 1, is implemented to offset rising raw material, transportation, and operating costs, according to Cabot. Additionally, the increase will help offset costs associated with investments in new capacity, supply reliability and regulatory compliance at the company's specialty compounds manufacturing facilities.
