Effective Aug 1, 2015 or as contracts allow, BASF will increase prices for styrene-butadiene latex polymers sold in North America. As a consequence of recent cost increases in production and delivery, prices will increase up to $0.05 per wet pound ($0.10 per dry pound) on Styrofan, Styronal, Butofan, and Butonal products sold into the asphalt, infrastructure, construction, fiberbonding, carpet and paper related industries.
According to the company, the increase is necessitated by recent cost increases in the production and delivery of these products.
Styrofan, Styronal, Butofan, and Butonal are registered trademarks of BASF SE.
