BASF increases prices for glues in Europe
1 July 2014BASF has announced increased prices for all its Kaurit and Kauramin glues by €15 per metric ton in Europe on top of fluctuations in raw material prices.
The price increase is necessary, says BASF, due to higher energy, personnel and maintenance costs.
Kaurit and Kauramin glues are condensation products of urea and formaldehyde. Kauramin additionally contains melamine.
Both Kaurit and Kauramin glues are specifically developed for the efficient production of any wood based material - from chip and fibre board to OSB.
