Clariant to increase prices of all Bentonite-based product grades in EMEA 

Munich, October 18, 2018 – Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, announced today that their Business Unit Functional Minerals, will increase prices of all Bentonite-based product grades in the EMEA region (Europe, Africa and the Middle-East) by 9%.
