CHARLOTTE — January 9, 2012 — Due to the increasing cost of polyester raw materials, DAK Americas will increase prices for all Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) products $0.05 per pound effective February 1, 2012.

This increase is a result of high operating rates in the global paraxylene market, as a significant increase in the global cost of paraxylene is working through the polyester value chain.  

DAK is committed to the polyester staple fibers business and will continue to supply quality products, services and innovation to its customers.
