Business Unit Advanced Fillers & Pigments will increase its prices for Pigment Blacks on average by 6% and for Pigment Black Preparations by 3% effective January 1st, 2005. Costs for raw materials, energy, labour and transportation have kept increasing and reached now an extent which Degussa (www.degussa.com) is no longer in a position to absorb, despite intensive cost management efforts and better efficiencies in production. Business Unit Advanced Fillers & Pigments operates 30 plants in 18 countries and is the only supply source manufacturing carbon black (rubber and pigment black), performance silica and rubber silanes. As a specialist in surface chemistry and physics it focuses on the production and application of carbon black, performance silica, matting agents and rubber silanes. |
