Cabot increases prices for speciality compounds globally

Boston, Massachusetts – Cabot Corp. is increasing prices for its Plasblak masterbatches and Cabelec conductive compounds and concentrates up to 5% globally.

This price increase, which will be effective 1 Oct, is implemented to offset rising raw material, transportation, and operating costs, said Cabot.

It will also help offset costs associated with investments in new capacity, supply reliability and regulatory compliance at the company’s speciality compounds manufacturing facilities, said Cabot.
