Purolite Announces Temporary Raw Material Surcharge On All Orders

The recent sharp increases in oil prices have sent petroleum based raw material prices soaring 20 – 30%.

Unrest in the Middle East and North Africa has driven the price of oil over $100/bbl. Petroleum based raw materials have been quick to adjust to the increased pricing and regional volatility. Included in these raw materials are several key chemicals used in the manufacture of ion exchange resins and adsorbents.

In order to maintain the health and strength of our company during this inflationary period, effective immediately, Purolite is adding a raw materials surcharge to all orders.

"It is our hope that the political issues that have caused these sudden increases are resolved soon and the raw material prices return to prior levels," said Jacob Brodie, vice president. "Once our costs decrease, the surcharge will be removed. We thank all of our customers for their understanding during these unstable times."
