Kraton Corporation Announces Global Price Increase for Polymer Products
HOUSTON, TX – Mar. 15, 2026 – Kraton Corporation, a leading global producer of specialty polymers and high-value bio-based chemicals derived from pine wood pulping co-products, announces a global price increase for all polymer products. The increase will range from $ 440/MT to $ 700/MT, or as contracts allow, depending upon polymer type and production location.
These price increases reflect sharp and sustained increases in costs of raw materials, energy, and freight that Kraton cannot unilaterally absorb, attributable to market instability emanating from the current geopolitical situation.
These price increases will be effective April 1, 2026.
