Arkema announces a € 150/ton increase for its Orevac® functional polyolefins effective March 1st 2010 . This measure has been made necessary by the deterioration of margins in recent months, resulting from consecutive rises in raw material costs.

With their outstanding adhesive properties, Orevac® polymers are used in the production of multilayer structures (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyamide, polyester, aluminium, steel, paper, etc.) primarily for packaging as well as industrial applications (pipe, pipeline, fuel tank, fuel line, etc.).
