DuPont Glass announces price increase of interlayersOfficials at DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions, Wilmington, Del., announced a price increase of up to 30 percent on all grades of DuPont Butacite polyvinyl butyral interlayer product line effective Aug. 1, according to a June 27 company release. The price increase will be applied globally, while specifics will vary by region. This is the second time this year the company has hiked its prices for all Butacite polyvinyl butyral interlayers. The first hike of 15 percent was back in May. The increase is required to meet rapid and unprecedented increases in petrochemical feedstock, energy, freight and distribution costs. “Previous price were intended to compensate for increases in these costs; however, they have continued to dramatically increase,” said Stephen L. Cox, director, Glass Laminating Solutions and Vinyls - DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers, in the release. “The need for immediate structural improvement is unprecedented and necessary to offset margin loss from the higher costs as well as to support continued investment in growing PVB market applications such as photovoltaics.” 30.06.2008, DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions News material on the Site is copyright and belongs to the Company or to its third party news provider, and all rights are reserved.
