Due to continued significant increases in costs, IGM Resins is announcing further price increases on its Omnirad™, Esacure™ and Omnipol™ photoinitiator portfolio.

IGM Resins, as the leading global provider of energy curing raw material solutions, today confirms that it will continue to supply its photoinitiators to the UV industry through its increasingly China-independent manufacturing site in Mortara, Italy. By contrast, many other industry peers will face significant disruption to their supply chains and manufacturing operations in the coming months, as China implements tighter environmental controls on energy-intensive industries.

Perstorp Potassium Formate (PoFO) is now registered as a fertilizer, fulfilling the requirements outlined in EC 2002/2003. With this EU registration Perstorp makes it easier for farmers to improve both crop quality and yields as there is no longer a need for local raw material registration when using PoFo based fertilizers, like Amicult™ K 42.

Andrew Chambers will retire July 1st 2020 and will step down from his Executive position as Vice President Photoinitiators.
