Addivant Announces Price Increase on Liquid Phosphite Antioxidants


DANBURY, Conn., Jan. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Effective immediately or as contract terms allow, Addivant™ is increasing prices globally by 15% across liquid phosphite product ranges including TNPP and liquid phosphite esters.

The increase is necessary to compensate for the significant increases in raw material costs that are the result of unprecedented environmental controls in China, dramatic increases in shipping costs for ocean and land transportation compounded by reduced global transportation availability, and overall increases in petroleum feedstocks.

Through our record of excellence in safety performance, environmental protection and product innovation, Addivant is committed to continue as one of the most viable and reliable suppliers to the plastic industry. Through our reinvestment in our long-term reliability, we strive to provide our customers with the best value in our products.
