Arkema Announces Once Again Hikes Evatane Range Prices

Following a €50/MT price increase on August 1st 2013, Arkema announces a further €50/MT price increase effective early September for its entire Evatane range (high content Ethylene Vinyl Acetate copolymers).
 
Both price increases, amounting to €100/MT over the August and September period, have become necessary following two consecutive months of raw material cost increases, while EVA market prices have significantly eroded since the beginning of 2013.
 
Marketed under the trademark Evatane, Arkema's EVA products are functional polyolefins used in highly diverse industrial applications, including hotmelt, cable, multilayer packaging film, technical polymer modification, solar panel, petroleum additives, bitumen and inks.
