Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation announces a price increase for hydorogenated
thermoplastic elastomers in Japan and all other export markets with effect
from May 12, 2008．
Persistent increases in feedstock and energy costs driven by anomalous oil
and naphtha prices have resulted in an increase of production cost. It is necessary to recover these increases to ensure stable future supply．
