Kemira Increases Prices of Paper Sizing Chemicals in EMEA

Kemira, Finland, this week announced a price increase for its paper sizing products in EMEA. The adjustment will be effective immediately, or as customer contracts allow.

The price increase of the ASA sizing chemicals will be approximately 5%-10%, depending on the specific formulations and can differ in selected geographies. This adjustment is necessary due to increased raw material costs and currency variations, the company noted.

Also as announced on Jan. 25, 2017, Kemira will increase AKD sizing chemical prices by approximately 5%-10%. This adjustment is necessary due to significantly increased raw material costs and currency variations, Kemira added.
