Kuraray Elastomers: Price Increase of SEPTON™, HYBRAR™ and TU-Polymer

Hattersheim am Main, January 4th, 2017 − Kuraray will raise the transaction prices of its Elastomer products SEPTON™, HYBRAR™ and TU-Polymer by $0.25 per kilogram in all regions effective February 1, 2017, or as existing supply agreements allow.

Increasing feedstock prices during the course of 2016 have increased the costs to produce these specialty high performance materials. It is necessary to recover a portion of these increases to ensure ongoing supply and new product innovation.
