Trade press release, September 2nd 2021 at 3 p.m. CET

Kemira, a global chemicals company, announces price increases for all polymers globally to Industry & Water, Pulp & Paper, and Oil & Gas businesses.

As global demand continues to rebound post-Covid, the supply of key raw materials remains heavily constrained. The supply-demand balance is significantly increasing the cost of raw materials, logistics, packaging, and utilities.

The following price increases will become effective immediately or as contract terms allow:

Product line Price increase
Dry powder polymers + 10-15%
Emulsion polymers + 8-15%
Other liquid polymers +10-20%

Price increases will vary based on geographic region and will differ by product type and may be higher in selected areas.
Kemira continues to be committed as a long-standing supplier of high-quality products and solutions for the water-intensive industries globally.
