Solutia raises prices globally on all Ascend plastics and polymers
ST. LOUIS -- Solutia Inc. has announced a price increase of up to 10 cents per pound ($220.00 U.S. per metric ton) for all general purpose and specialty grades of Ascend nylon 6,6 plastics and polymers, effective January 1, 2001.
"Previous price increases for nylon 6,6 have been marginally successful, and inadequate to offset the unprecedented increase in raw material costs," said Jim Howard, general manager and vice president of Solutia's nylon plastics and polymers business group.
