Kemira, a global chemicals company serving water intensive industries, announces price increases for all polymer and main process chemicals products for water treatment applications in the EMEA region on the grounds of continuing cost increases.

In addition to continued raw material cost increases, there is a significant surge in all transportation cost, driven by fuel surcharges, constraints in freight capacity, container rental cost and maritime freights.

The following price increases will apply as of July 1st, 2021 or as contract terms allow. The increases will be in addition to the previous price announcement made in March 2021.
