Lanxess Increases Prices for Leather Chemicals
German speciality chemicals company, Lanxess, has increased the prices for selected leather chemicals. The impacted products include selected chrome chemicals, such as Chromosal (basic chrome sulphate), chromic acid and sodiumdichromate, which will be increased by up to 10 percent.
“In the course of the continuous review of our raw material exposures, we see steadily rising costs in the area of chrome ore, basic chemicals, solvents and silicones, used for the production of chrome and leather chemicals. For this reason, we take this second step in 2018 to adjust the prices for selected products,” explained Dr. Thomas Bracke-meyer, head of the organic leather chemicals business line in the leather business unit of Lanxess.
