Sid Richardson raises carbon black prices

Effective for all shipments on or after 1 August 2018, or as contracts allow, Sid Richardson Carbon is increasing prices on all carbon black products.

“Due to rising operating and logistic costs associated with carbon black production in North America, the increase is necessary to maintain the high service levels that our customers have come to expect. Invoice prices on all carbon blacks will increase by $110 per metric ton”, the company said in a statement.

Sid Richardson supplies a wide range of carbon black products utilized in the production of tyres, automotive parts, rubber roofing membrane, plastics, coatings, pigment and other mechanical rubber goods.
