Dow Increases Prices for Emulsion Polymer Based Products

Horgen, Switzerland - August 20, 2009

Effective September 1, 2009, or as contract terms permit, Dow Emulsion Polymers, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) and its affiliates including Dow Europe GmbH, is increasing prices on all styrene butadiene latex based products sold by its Emulsion Polymers business into the paper & paperboard, carpet and performance latex industries by 200 Euro/MT (dry) in Europe, India, Middle East and Africa.

This price increase is critical to help offset the last two months' explosive rise in costs of raw material needed to manufacture our products.

Customers interested in learning more about the price increases should contact their local Dow sales representative.
