AOC Announces Price Increase for U.S. and Canada
September, 2010 : Collierville, TN
AOC, LLC announces a price increase for all Vinyl Ester resins in the amount of US$0.08 per pound for all shipments within the United States and Canada. The implementation date for the increase is October 1, 2010.
Raw material increases can no longer be absorbed and must be passed along. Key Vinyl Ester ingredients, including Methacrylic Acid and Styrene, contributed to increase in cost.
Additionally, all shipments of K190 series resins will increase by US$0.30 per pound for all shipments within the United States and Canada. The implementation date for the increase is October 1, 2010. Extreme cost pressure for Chlorendic Anhydride – a significant raw material ingredient for K190 series products – is the primary cause for the increase. Please note that additional increases are anticipated for K190 products in the future.
