LYON, France, March 9, 2017– In addition to the 300€/T price hike announced earlier this quarter, Solvay, a world leader in polyamide-based performance materials, announces a supplementary global price increase for PA6 and PA6.6 based compounds and fibers.
The strong and continuous rise in cost of major base-chemicals, some of which have nearly doubled since end-Q4 2016, steers Solvay Performance Polyamides to adopt a second wave of price increases of 300€/T for Q2-2017 for its PA6 and PA6.6 based products, worldwide.
