INEOS ChlorVinyls Announces S-PVC Price Increase for June and July 2008

INEOS ChlorVinyls has today announced a price increase of €100 per tonne for all its S-PVC grades in Europe during June and July 2008.

S-PVC margins have continued to erode as S-PVC prices have not kept in step with the first and second quarter ethylene increases of €78 per tonne and €15 per tonne respectively.

Continued strength in the price of crude oil, gas and related feedstock costs have added further pressure on margins.

The new increased price levels will be effective from 1 June 2008.
