SYRGIS® PERFORMANCE INITIATORS INCREASES PEROXIDE PRICES
Helena, Ark. (March 25, 2011) – Syrgis® Performance Initiators, Inc. has announced a price increase, effective May 1, 2011 or as contracts and agreements allow, for its Norox®, Pulcat®, Benox®, Superox® and Andonox® organic peroxide product lines sold to the composites and allied markets in North America. The products affected include methyl ethyl ketone peroxides, benzoyl peroxide, acetylacetone peroxide, and specialty blends. The prices for all products in these lines will increase 8 to12 percent depending on formulation. Elevated temperature initiators will experience increases of an average of approximately 20 percent.
“We have experienced tremendous increases in costs and tightness in supply of many of our key raw materials” says Doug Hubbard, business manager for Syrgis Performance Initiators, North America. “Our manufacturing team has been able to implement process improvements to offset a portion of the increase, but not all. I am confident that our sales and technical teams will continue to identify process improvements to offset the impact of these costs for our customers.”
Syrgis’ regional sales managers will be in contact with the company’s valued distributors and customer base to discuss this increase in detail.
“We thank our customers for their patronage and the faith they exhibit in our products and field technical support,” Hubbard added.
