Wacker’s polymers division is a leading producer of binders and polymeric additives based on polyvinyl acetate and vinyl acetate copolymers and terpolymers.
Military conflict in the Middle East has led to significant disruption in global supply chains, resulting in significantly increased costs for raw materials and logistics. Given the developments, Wacker, a polymer player, will raise prices for dispersions, resins, and dispersible polymer powders effective 1 April 2026.
The military conflict in the Middle East has led to significant distortions in commodity markets worldwide. Consequently, prices for oil, natural gas, raw materials and logistics have risen. Wacker’s global polymers business is especially affected by this development, the company said.
To compensate for higher raw material and freight costs, Wacker will significantly raise its prices for polymer dispersions, resins and dispersible polymer powders. The extent of the necessary price adjustment depends on where the respective product is sourced and on existing contractual agreements. Primarily, products sourced at Wacker’s production sites in Europe and Asia are affected by the increase.
