Omnova Solutions Raising Prices July 1

Fairlawn, OH, June 29, 2009--Omnova Solutions said that as of July 1 it is increasing prices by up to $0.10 per dry pound for all GenFlo, GenCeal, Omnabond, GenCryl and GenCal styrene butadiene based emulsion polymers.

The increase should impact specialty markets including coatings, tape and adhesives, nonwovens, floor care and construction.

Omnova said the increase is due to the continuing escalation in oil-related costs including freight, energy and petroleum based chemical feedstocks.
