Bayer MaterialScience AG is increasing sales prices for its Apec and Makrolon brands of polycarbonate by EUR 0.25 per kilogram, and for its Bayblend and Makroblend brands by EUR 0.20 per kilogram as of March 1, 2007.
This applies to all deliveries in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa), the company said.
"The decision by the Polycarbonates Business Unit to raise prices is largely motivated by constantly rising production costs, especially caused by the increased price of the needed raw materials," the company said in a statement.
