Arkema announced a price increase of €100/MT for its whole Evatane (High Content Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer) range starting March 1, 2015. During the past months, the EVA market was undergoing a price erosion that affected profitability. Due to the price hike of ethylene, Arkema is forced to pass this increase to the market.
 
Marketed under the trademark Evatane, Arkema’s EVA products are functional polyolefins used in highly diverse industrial applications, including hot-melt, cables, multilayer packaging films, technical polymers modification, solar panels, petroleum additives, bitumen and inks.
