SGBD to Increase Prices for Its SBL    

June 25th Shanghai Gaoqiao BASF Dispersions Co., Ltd. (SGBD) will increase prices from between 15% to 25% for Styrene-Butadiene latex in China, effective July 1st, 2008, or as contracts allow.
    The costs of raw materials, such as styrene and butadiene, and energy prices have risen considerably. As a result, SGBD is forced to increase the prices of its products, in some cases significantly, to maintain operations and reliable supply of high quality products. SGBD is seeking ways to solve this problem in dialogue with its customers.
