DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reichhold’s European operations have continued to experience increases in raw material costs with different impacts depending on product chemistries. PIA (Purified Isophtalic Acid) and DCPD (Dicyclopentadiene) costs are impacted by tight availability and by various Force Majeure Announcements made recently. The situation will be closely monitored and customers to be affected by any necessary price increases will be notified.
We appreciate the understanding of our customers as we continue doing everything possible to limit the impact of rising costs and limited raw material availability upon product pricing and supply.
