The Doneck Network will levy solvent surcharges on solvent-based flexo and gravure inks as of 01.04.2020.
In order to secure our supply for the coming weeks, we had to accept price increases from our solvent suppliers. As of April 1, 2020, we will levy a product-specific solvent surcharge in accordance with the proportion of the ink used, which is shown separately in the amount of the increase. The surcharge will be updated in line with the development of costs and will be automatically waived when the base price for March 2020 is reached.
Due to the corona crisis, there is a relevant shortage of solvents, especially ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, as the latter are used in pharmaceutical and disinfection products.
The DONECK NETWORK team is working under high pressure with its suppliers to secure the solvent quantities required to counteract the shortage and bottlenecks in transport capacities. In addition, internal optimization programs support our efforts to keep the cost burdens for our customers as low as possible.
