Dow Coating Materials Announces Price Increases in Middle East, Africa and Turkey

Wednesday 23. December 2009 - Dow Coating Materials will implement a price increase in the Middle East, Africa and Turkey for acrylic emulsions sold to the architectural coatings, industrial coatings, and traffic paint industries.

The increases in a range of between $65 and $110 per MT will take effect January 15, 2010, or as contracts allow, and will affect all acrylic, styrene-acrylic emulsions, solvent-based solid and solution polymers.

The increases are necessitated by the continuous cost escalation of key raw materials in the past few months used to manufacture acrylate based emulsions. Customers interested in learning more about the price increase should contact their local Dow sales representative.
