Valtris Metallic Stearate and Stearic Acid Price Announcement

Due to the continued escalation of raw material and energy costs, Valtris Specialty Chemicals must implement a price increase on all Synpro® Metallic Stearates and Petrac® Stearic Acid effective for all orders shipping on or after June 1, 2022, or as contracts allow.
