ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --H.B. Fuller (NYSE: FUL) announced today that,
effective October 1, 2014, or as
contracts allow, the company's North American Emulsion Polymer
business will increase prices for certain products as well as apply
a freight and logistics surcharge to all products sold by the
business in North America. Vinyl
acetate ethylene (VAE) copolymers, vinyl acrylics, and polyvinyl
acetate (PVAc) homopolymers prices will be increased by
$0.03 USD per wet pound. This price
increase includes the Elvace®, Plyamul®,
Copro®, and PACE® product brands. In
addition, a freight and logistics surcharge of $0.02 USD per wet pound will be applied to all
polymer emulsion products with delivered pricing terms.
These price increases are a necessary result of unprecedented
supply constraints and cost increases in the raw materials used in
products containing vinyl acetate. In addition, supply
constraints and cost escalation in the North American trucking
market require that a surcharge be implemented for all products
supplied with delivered freight terms.
All adjustments affect applications sold in the U.S. and
Canada, including but not limited
to: adhesives, construction and building products, nonwovens, glass
fiber, carpet and textile applications. Customers should
contact their H.B. Fuller sales
representative for more details. More information about
