New adjustments affect alcohols, acetates, acids and specialty esters, with regional differences and implications for several materials used in coatings formulations.

New rates take effect Nov. 1 as the supplier cites higher diesel fuel costs and transportation expenses.

Several hydrocarbon-fluid families are included, but the changes are not identical across every product. The notice details the adjustments and applicable terms.

The supplier cited higher input and operating costs as it announced per-pound increases taking effect in mid-October, subject to existing contract provisions.

Selected solvents are due to increase October 31. Separate plasticizer adjustments follow November 1, with different products, regions and contract conditions.

The Oct. 1 adjustment follows continued volatility in raw materials, energy, logistics and refining markets, according to the supplier.

The adjustment covers polyvinyl alcohol and related products used in paper coatings, barrier applications and adhesives, with regional increases and contract provisions.

The supplier added another Oct. 1 adjustment covering alcohols, acetates and neopentyl glycol across Europe and other markets.

The Oct. 1 increase applies to specialty-material products across Asia as the company cites feedstock costs and supply disruptions.

Oct. 1 increases affect urethane-grade ethyl acetate, glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride in North America and Latin America.
