In order to continue our track record of providing high quality products and reliable service, Croda Polymer Additives will be implementing price increases proportional to the significant increases we have seen in natural feedstock costs.
Prices for Crodamide additives will be increased to these new levels during Q2 or as existing contracts allow.
These increases are essential to ensure that Croda can provide sustainable security of supply.
Croda has been working hard to secure key materials in the dramatically changing global market for natural oils.
We are proud of Croda's expertise in this area but cannot mitigate the effects of the huge escalations in the cost of these naturally derived materials.
Market prices for natural oils have almost doubled in the last 12 months and there is continued pressure on availability.
Croda will communicate directly and individually with customers to explain the new price levels and discuss availability requirements.
We will also continue to provide full technical and regulatory support services and seek to work closely with customers on product innovation and to optimise in-application product performance.
