Sun Chemical to raise prices on heatset products in Americas

Faced with volatility in the global supply chain and increases in the costs of certain raw materials, such as distillates, solvents and resins, Sun Chemical will raise prices in the United States and Canada on all heatset products and certain pressroom consumables on July 1, 2012.

The price increases will vary as different products have a different chemical composition, but the average cost increase will be approximately 10 percent for most products.

All heatset products will be affected by the price increase, inclusive of directory inks. Certain Rycoline® solvent-based washes will also be impacted.
