Midland, MI - June 22, 2006
Effective July 1, 2006, or as contracts allow, Dow TERGITOL NPE products will increase off-list prices in the US by $0.03 USD/lb. on all grades and forms of the following products.
| TERGITOL | NP-4 through NP-40 (100% Actives) | $.03/lb Off-list Only |
| TERGITOL | NP-30, 40, 50, 55, 70 (70% Actives) | $.03/lb Off-list Only |
“While we continue to implement cost reduction and productivity improvements, increases in hydrocarbons and energy and the necessity to compete for raw materials to remain a sustainable supplier require these actions,” said Dave Nelson, TERGITOL™ NPE, TRITON™ OPE, and Industrial CARBOWAX™ PEG’s Marketing Manager, in response to the price increase.
