Bluestar Silicones to raise prices

Noting that the silicones industry is “going through a period of transformation, with structural and regulatory changes being announced almost daily,” Bluestar Silicones has announced price increases from ten per cent upwards. The new pricing will be implemented from the second quarter of this year onward.

“This price adjustment is necessary to continue to bring you value, while supporting developments that will enhance your competitiveness,” writes the company in a statement.

Bluestar Silicones’ product portfolio includes the Lyndcoat range of products for the tyre industry, which offers mould releases, bladder coatings, bladder paints, repair agents, inside paints and band-ply lubricants for improved bladder centring and air evacuation. Mould-making compositions for the precision manufacturing of tyre moulds, with or without vent valves, complete the offer.
