Solutia sets price hike on PVB interlayer materials for January 1, 2012

Citing increasing costs of high quality raw materials throughout 2011, Solutia has advised that as of January 1, 2012, its Saflex polyvinyl butyral (PVB) product line will see a price increase. Solutia noted that prices for currently contracted business will be adjusted as individual contracts allow.

"As a leading supplier of PVB interlayer, we are fully committed to meeting the current and future needs of our customers.  We are exploring new pricing models to lessen the exposure that raw material pricing brings to our business and our customers," says Eric Nichols, president and general manager of Solutia's advanced interlayers division.
