Celanese Raises Polyamide Prices Across North and South America

The price adjustments target six core brand lines: Zytel, Frianyl, Celanyl, Minlon, CoolPoly, and Ecomid. For Polyamide 6 products, the company is adding 44 cents per kilogram, equivalent to 20 cents per pound. Polyamide 66 variants will see a slightly smaller increase of 33 cents per kilogram, or 15 cents per pound.

Management cited evolving market pressures and sustained cost inflation as the drivers behind the hikes, framing the move as a necessity to maintain supply chain stability and product quality. While these figures represent the standard adjustment, the company noted that specific product grades may face even steeper increases depending on individual contract terms.
