Specialty chemicals company LANXESS increases the prices for its chrome chemicals by up to 20 percent with immediate effect. The Leather business unit is forced to take this step due to a dramatic increase in prices of chrome ore, the main raw material for the production of chrome chemicals.
Affected are all related product groups, i.e. sodium dichromate, chromic acid and basic chrome sulfate (tradenames Chromosal and Baychrom).
