4 U. E3 ]" _6 o8 n' F' P% w* dAtlanta, GA - Lehigh Technologies, a manufacturer of sustainable, micronized rubber powders, announced a global price increase on its MicroDyne and PolyDyne products. An average price increase of 7% across Lehigh’s MicroDyne and PolyDyne product line is effective as of October 15, or as contracts allow. This change will help offset increases in a wide range of input costs, fuel costs and general increases in business expenses, such as healthcare and insurance. “We have absorbed rising input costs throughout the year. This modest increase will compensate for these costs while allowing us to continue offering products at a lower cost than the non-renewable virgin materials we are replacing at same or better performance,” said Alan Barton, chief executive officer.
