Prices will increase by 4-6%, depending on the product.

The new prices will be applied to all invoiced orders from 1 July 2009 onwards.

All gel-coats, pigments, bonding pastes and Crystic Crestomer® structural adhesives also go up in price.

This price rise is a result of the significant increase during the second quarter in the costs of key raw materials.

“Scott Bader continues to do all it can to minimise and absorb the impact of these raw material cost increases but must now pass on some of these extra costs to its customers, ” says Malcolm Forsyth, European Commercial Director, Composites business division of Scott Bader.

Scott Bader is headquartered in the UK and has manufacturing facilities in Europe, the Middle East and South Africa.
