BASF increases prices for glues and impregnating resins in Europe

Effective September 1, 2012, BASF is increasing prices for its Kaurit® und Kauramin® brands in Europe by 10 EUR / mt on top of fluctuations in raw material prices as of the month of September.

 

The price increase is necessary due to higher energy, personnel and maintenance costs.

 

Kaurit® and Kauramin® glues as well as UV-impregnating resins are condensation products of urea and formaldehyde. Kauramin® additionally contains melamine.

 

Both Kaurit® und Kauramin® glues are specifically developed for the efficient production of any wood-based material – from chip and fiber boards to OSBs.

 

Kaurit® and Kauramin® impregnating resins have been designed for impregnating various types of papers, such as overlay, counter balance or décor paper. Both impregnating resins are used for the coating of laminate floors or for the production of furniture.
