IN EUROPE
17th October 2000 — Air Products Polymers
(APP) will increase prices for its range of dispersions
marketed under the trademarks Airflex®, Vinac™,

Dispersions are used in the fabrication of adhesives, nonwoven
materials, paints, coatings and other products.
The increase, effective from 1 November 2000, is necessary
to offset the rise in costs of raw materials, in particular
vinyl acetate monomer.
