Ashland Specialty Ingredients, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc., today said it will increase the price of its phosphate ester specialty surfactants to the coatings industry by 5 percent effective October 1, 2013, or as contracts allow. The price increase is being driven by escalating raw material costs. This increase will enable Ashland to continue investing in support of its customers' growth.
