WACKER POLYMERS is to raise its prices in Europe for VINNAPAS® and VINNOL® vinylacetate and acrylate based dispersions, as well as for VINNACOAT® und POLYVIOL® polyvinylalcohol solutions. Effective July 1, 2011, prices for vinylacetate and acrylate based dispersions will be increased by up to €100 per ton and by up to eight percent for polyvinylalcohol solutions, or as customer contracts allow. This measure has been necessitated by the continued increase in raw-material cost.

VINNAPAS® and VINNOL® dispersions are applied in a broad variety of industries, ranging from adhesives, nonwovens, paints and coatings to paper, carpet and textiles. VINNACOAT® und POLYVIOL® polyvinylalcohol solutions are mainly used in the paper and printing industry.
