Kemira, a global chemicals company serving customers in water intensive industries, this week announced price increases for all colorant products globally.   

The price increase of 15% - 25% for all colorants will become effective for shipments made on or after April 15, 2018, or as contracts allow. While Kemira continues to take actions to mitigate the impact of increasing costs, it is necessary to adjust our pricing to compensate for the rapid and recurring increases in key raw materials and transportation costs.
