BASF to increase prices for paper and board dispersions

With immediate effect, BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, will (as contracts allow) raise prices by up to 20% for all paper and board dispersions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This is due to the significant escalation of the raw material, energy and freight costs.

BASF develops, produces and markets chemicals for the paper industry as a leading supplier of chemicals for the manufacture and finishing of paper and cardboard. BASF’s particular strengths are effective research and development, global applications technology expertise, and the Paper Technical Center in Ludwigshafen. The business is part of BASF’s Acrylics & Dispersions division which in turn belongs to the BASF Performance Products segment. More information is available in the internet: www.basf.de/paper.
