We are in a period of unprecedented market volatility.  Driven to a large extent by the pricing escalation in raw material like crude oil, we are experiencing increases in the costs of materials used in the production of our molding compounds, as well as in the costs of transportation and energy to run our plants.

To remain a viable supplier we must increase the price of all grades of our molding compounds by $0.12/lb effective with shipments on or after July 1, 2008.  This includes all grades of:

ACRYLITE® acrylic polymers

ACRYLITE PLUS® impact acrylic polymers

XT® polymer acrylic-based multipolymer compounds

CYROLITE® acrylic-based multipolymer compounds

CYROVU® acrylic-based multipolymer compounds

Vu-Stat® acrylic-based multipolymer compounds

CYRO® R30 acrylic-based multipolymer molding and extrusion compounds

CYREX® acrylic-polycarbonate alloys

This action is not taken lightly.  We recognize that our customers are experiencing the same challenges we face.  We know that in turn you will need to make similar pricing decisions and have similar discussions with your own customers.  Your Strategic Account Manager is available with information to assist you in discussing these changing market dynamics.

CYRO Industries values your business, appreciates your continued support and remains committed to supplying you with the highest-quality products and services in the acrylic industry.  

 Yours truly,

Wolfgang Kaster

General Manager
