Clariant Announces Price Increases for Quinacridones Portfolio
MUTTENZ, Switzerland – Clariant recently announced global price increases across its Quinacridone product portfolio. The increases became effective Oct. 6, 2021. The price increases are necessary to recover significant on-going cost increases for one of the key raw materials to manufacture Quinacridones (PR122 and PV19).
Clariant reports that the unprecedented price surge of yellow phosphorous and consequently polyphosphoric acid in recent weeks caused by energy quotas in China, forces the company to announce price increases for its Quinacridone pigments with immediate effect.
