Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation announces a price increase for hydrogenated thermoplastic elastomers in Japan
and all other export markets.
Persistent increase 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．
