DSM Deretil announces that due to steep raw material and energy price increases, effective April first 2008, Danoxy prices will be adapted with an increase of 1 USD/Kg and Danfenil prices with an increase of 0,8 USD/Kg. In the current business climate we see continued pressure over the raw materials for our side chains, that Deretil can no longer absorb. Market fundamentals are strong and we believe that this raw material price increase can be passed down the value chain. Your Deretil sales representative will provide further details.
