Evonik Industries, one of the world’s leading suppliers of methacrylate chemicals, will raise the prices of its VISIOMER® Methacrylate Monomers.

Effective June 1, 2010, as far as permissible under existing agreements, the prices for VISIOMER® Methacrylate Monomers will be increased
by 5 % to 8 %. Your respective Sales Manager will contact you in the very near future to answer any questions you may have regarding this matter.
