BASF to hike engineering polymer prices in North America

All time high and unrelenting higher costs of feedstock, energy and transportation, has led BASF to increase engineering polymer prices in North America. With effect from 20 August 2007, BASF has raised prices for PA, PBT and PET resins in North America by USD 0.10/lb (USD 0.22 /EUR 0.16/kg). The hikes apply to "Ultramid" PA 6/6.6, "Nypel" recycled PA 6 resins "Ultradur" PBT resins and "Petra" PET resins.
