Dear Valued Customer,

During the past several months we have absorbed significant raw material increases in the basic components of Hot Melt technology such as EVA, waxes, and rosins. In addition these raw materials are on strict allocation worldwide putting additional pressure on the market. With the price of oil skyrocketing due to political instability in the Middle East we do not for see any respite in this upward price trend.
