Berwyn, Pennsylvania – Trinseo has announced a price increase for all products sold into the carpet, paper, and performance latex markets in Latin America.
The increase, said Trinseo, will be 15 percent for all styrene butadiene and acrylic latex products, effective 1 Dec or as contract terms permit.
“Trinseo is investing considerable resources into developing new technologies for its latex markets globally… This price increase is being driven by a rise in raw materials, higher utility costs, Brazilian inflation and the decline of Brazilian currency,” said Max Yoshioka, Brazil latex and plastics leader, Trinseo.
