Kemira announces price increase for AKD wax in APAC

 

​Kemira will implement a price increase of up to 5-15 % for selected AKD (alkyl ketene dimer) wax-based sizing products in APAC. The adjustment will be immediately implemented or as the existing contracts allow.

 

The price adjustment is a result of increased costs within the AKD-wax supply chain. AKD wax is the main raw material for all AKD-sizing products.
