INEOS ChlorVinyls Announces Caustic Soda Price Increase

IINEOS ChlorVinyls has today announced a price increase of Euro 80 per dry metric tonne on Quarter One 2010 caustic soda contracts.

This increase is in response to the declining return on the electro-chemical unit and the shortage of caustic soda availability as both economic and operational issues affect production.

The new prices are effective for contract business from 1st January 2010; for new or non-contract business they are effective immediately.
