Martoxid® aluminum oxides
Amount:
Up to 15%
Date:
Effective November 15, 2017 or as contracts allow
Rationale:
Alumina markets are seeing increasing costs as global supply and demand shifts due in part to refinery closures in China.

As a result, both smelter grade alumina (SGA) and chemical grade alumina hydrate prices have increased significantly. Other key drivers for this price increase include higher energy and freight (ocean) costs.
