SpecialChem - Aug 10, 2012

Arkema announces a price increase of 140 €/MT for its whole Evatane® (High Content Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer) range.

During the past months, the EVA market was undergoing a price erosion that affected profitability. In view of the coming strong price hike of Ethylene, the company is forced to pass this increase to the market.

Marketed under the trademark Evatane®, Arkema's EVA products are used in highly diverse industrial applications, including hotmelt, cable, multilayer packaging film, technical polymer modification, solar panel, petroleum additives, bitumen and ink.
