Subject: Latest Adhesive Retail Pricing Update

John,

 

Did some screening on adhesive pricing on a number of sites and prices 

seem to be up somewhat; an average of about 10-12 %, most likely due to 

the barrel price for crude. This impacts the solvent costs and also the 

active resin contained in the adhesive, since they all tend to originate


at the well-head. Water based materials have been raised the least
amount, 

as they only have to account for their oil-based resin components.

 

 

n-PB based adhesives:  $17.60- 19.00 / gal

 

Methylene chloride-based adhesives:  $ 7.60- 8.20 / gal.

 

Water-based adhesives:  $ 7.35-7.75 / gal.

 

Acetone-based adhesives: $ 6.65-7.00 / gal.

 

Prices seemed to move up in proportion with each other, so it hasn't 

changed the ranked order of material costs any. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bob
