INEOS ChlorVinyls Announces Caustic Soda Price Increase

INEOS ChlorVinyls has today announced a price increase of Euro 85 per dry metric tonne on Quarter Four caustic soda contracts.

This increase, which follows an earlier rise in export prices, is in response to the shortage of supply as operational issues, both planned and unplanned, affect production and the supply chain.

The new prices are effective for contract business from 1st October 2009; for new or non-contract business they are effective immediately.
