Hexion Specialty Chemicals to Raise Prices for Epoxy Resin Products in the Americas

    Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc., announced today it will increase all list and off-list prices in the Americas for its EPON™ liquid and solid epoxy resins effective April 1, 2010, or as contracts allow. This increase is in addition to any other increase announced previously. This price adjustment is driven by the continued increases in the cost of key raw materials coupled with significant tightening of the global and regional supply-demand balances.

    Products:
    EPON™ Liquid Epoxy Resins $0.10 PER POUND for list & off-list prices
    EPON Solid Epoxy Resins $0.10 PER POUND for list & off-list prices
