“A tight-supply/high-demand market is pressuring prices,” explained Julie Mongeluzi, Dow Epoxy’s North American marketing manager. “Dow has seen above average demand so far in 2007 and we expect the market will continue tightening. Escalating raw material costs are also a factor in our decision to raise prices at this time.”
