International Specialty Products Inc. (ISP) will increase global prices for polymers, vinyl monomers, emollients, emulsifiers, preservatives and encapsulates by 10% effective 1 June 2011, or as contracts allow.
This increase applies to products sold into the personal care, pharmaceutical, oral care, beverage, performance chemicals and agricultural markets. This price increase is in addition to the 10% increase that was previously announced effective 1 February 2011. This additional price increase is necessary due to continued material and energy cost escalation.
