As a result of continued escalations in the costs of key raw materials, DSM Engineering Plastics will increase the price of Akulon® polyamide polymer for use in fiber and extrusion effective for all orders shipped on or after August 15, 2011.
The specific increase is as follows:
Akulon® polyamide 6 polymer +$0.05 per pound
Akulon® K222-D resin +$0.05 per pound
While DSM Engineering Plastics continues to pursue and implement cost savings initiatives targeted at absorbing the impact of the raw material escalations, this additional increase is necessary to ensure DSM Engineering Plastics’ sustainable long-term growth.
