Doverlube Metallic Stearates Price Increase Effective December 1, 2021

Effective December 1, 2021, or as contracts allow, Dover Chemical Corporation is increasing list and off-list prices for all grades of Doverlube® metallic stearates by $ 0.20 per pound.  This increase will affect all grades of calcium and zinc stearates.

This increase is necessary due to 1) continued increases in raw materials; and 2) increases in freight costs on a global basis due to higher operational costs and reduced availability. 

All orders placed for shipment on or after December 1, 2021 will be affected by this increase.  All existing and confirmed open orders for shipment on or after December 1, 2021 will be affected by this increase. 

Standard lead-time for all stearates is now up to 14 weeks depending on the grade.
