May 16, 2007 -- Over the past two years, escalation in prices of raw materials to produce acrylic polymers has continued to occur. As a result of these continuing increases, it is necessary to increase the price of Perspex® and TufCoat® acrylic polymer products by $0.06/lb. This increase will be effective for all shipments on or after June 18, 2007 or as conditions in your contract allow.

Lucite® International continues to drive aggressive measures to reduce costs and maximize efficiencies in order to provide you with the best value in acrylic polymer products in the industry.
