LANXESS: Increased prices for chloroprene rubber

The Technical Rubber Products (TRP) business unit of specialty chemicals group LANXESS AG will increase its prices for CR (chloroprene rubber) globally effective April 1, 2010. Dependent on regions, the price adjustment per metric ton comprises up to EUR 300/USD 400 for CR. This adjustment is unavoidable because the costs for raw materials have risen significantly.


CR, which LANXESS offers under the name Baypren, is appropriate to produce e.g. cable sheathing, hoses, belts and air springs.
