CCP Announces Prices Increase for all Composites Related Materials

KANSAS CITY, Mo., February, 2010 - Cook Composites and Polymers (CCP) announces a $.05 per pound price increase for all gel coats, unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins as well as all cleaners materials. New pricing is effective for all shipments on or after March 7th, 2010.

This price increase will be implemented as a result of continued raw material cost escalation of the chemical feedstock and energy associated with the manufacture of unsaturated polyester based products as well as other specialty chemicals. CCP regrets this situation but unfortunately cannot absorb these continued advances.

Quality products and superior customer service has made Cook Composites and Polymers (CCP) an international leader in the production and distribution of polyester gel coats, unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. CCP is the world's largest producer of polyester gel coats, and with affiliate companies, the second largest producer of coatings resins and unsaturated polyester resins. In addition, the CCP distributor network is North America's largest for composites and cast polymers.

Headquartered in Kansas City, MO, CCP has manufacturing facilities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. CCP affiliate companies include TOTAL, Cray Valley, Sartomer, Reacciones Quimicas, Peninsula Polymers and Progress Plastics among others.
