Due to what the company says is a massive shortage in silicones and silicone-based materials from manufacturers, Sun Chemical will increase prices by 35% on its entire silicone-based product line in North America, effective January 15, 2018.
“Because of the silicone shortage we’re seeing in the industry, our suppliers have passed on price increases beyond anything we have seen in recent years,” says Dennis Sweet, Vice President-Commercial, Rycoline and Distributors, North American Inks, Sun Chemical. “While Sun Chemical has utilized all its resources to offset these shortages and increases, it has now become necessary to pass some of these increases on.”
