Specialty chemicals company LANXESS is raising its prices for its engineering plastics of the brands Durethan A (polyamide 6.6) by EUR 0.25 per kg, Durethan B (polyamide 6) by EUR 0.15 per kg and Pocan (polybutylene terephthalate, blends) by EUR 0.20 per kg with immediate effect.

The adjustment is due to strongly increased raw material prices and applies to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Insofar as conditions permit, the price increase also affects existing contracts. For special materials, higher adjustments are possible.
