Goldschmidt Chemical Increases Prices

Degussa’s Goldschmidt Chemical Corporation announced it has implemented double-digit percent price increases across all its business lines effective Oct. 1.
    
The increases apply to list and off-list prices for all products marketed in North America by the personal care, textile care, polyurethane additives, industrial specialties and Tego Coatings and Ink Additives business lines.
    
“Raw material and energy costs for all our business lines continue to escalate sharply, which has made this difficult decision necessary at this time,” said Dr. Reinhold Brand, president of Goldschmidt Chemical Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Degussa Corporation.
