Prices for Lanxess’ Vulkanox (antidegradant) and Vulkacit (accelerator) rubber chemicals, two products used in tire manufacture, will increase as of July 1.
Lanxess says the new pricing is required to offset higher production costs. The price increases will range between 0.05 euro/kg and 0.20 Euro/kg ($0.10 and $0.30), depending on the product and region. (Tyres & Accessories)
