Kaneka Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazuhiko Fujii) will revise the sales price for modified silicone polymers (product names: Kaneka MS Polymer™ and Sylil™). The price will rise by at least 40 JPY/kilogram compared to the current price for shipping on and after August 1.July 9, 2024
The prices of main raw materials such as PPG (polypropylene glycol) and PO (propylene oxide) have increased due to the rising price of domestically produced naphtha. In addition, other raw materials, logistics costs, and other expenses are also rising, putting significant pressure on business earnings.
We have been working to improve profits by reducing costs, but the scope is far beyond what we can absorb, and we have determined that this price revision is necessary for stable supply in the future.
