INEOS ChlorVinyls S-PVC Price Announcement - July 2009

INEOS ChlorVinyls has today announced a price increase of 130 Euro per tonne for all its S-PVC grades in Europe for the month of July.

On the back of strengthening crude and naphtha prices, the cost of ethylene has increased significantly through the year with a sustained squeeze on S-PVC margins. In addition, further decreases in the demand for Caustic liquor has put added pressure on margins in the Chlor-alkali chain.

The new price levels will be effective from 1 July 2009.
