ARCHROMA ANNOUNCES PRICE INCREASES FOR TEXTILE DYES
Reinach, 24 April 2014 – Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals, today announced further major price increases on a wide range of its dyes for the textile industry. The main driver for the increases is the growing pressure from increased environmental controls in the production of important raw material and dye intermediate chemicals in Asia, especially in China. This is leading to shortages and steep price increases for such chemicals in the leading producing markets in Asia, impacting through the whole dyes value chain worldwide. Examples of the most impacted intermediate chemicals include H acid, bromaminic acid and anthraquinone derivatives. Most dyestuff types have been impacted by the current raw material market situation, including the most widely used in textile manufacturing such as reactive and direct dyes for cellulosic fibers, as well as disperse, acid and metal complex dyes for synthetics and wool fibers.

Reinach, 27 March 2014 – Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals, today announced significant double digit price increases which will apply to several of its dyes for the paper industry. One of the major drivers for the company’s decision is the 200 to 300% cost increase of key naphthalene derivatives known as Letter Acids that are necessary to produce black, blue and red dyes.
