The Solvents and Coatings businesses:The Solvents and Coatings businesses:A Natural Internal HedgeA Natural Internal Hedge
Acetate solvents prices reflect international supply and demand and volatilities in raw materials supply prices are passed on immediately,giving rise to opportunities for stock gains when raw material prices surge
Coatings uses solvents as one of their raw materials. Selling pricestypically lag raw material price trends
During times of raw material prices increase, solvents business benefits while coatings business adversely affected
When raw material prices decline, coatings will be the beneficiarywhile solvents adversely affected
With a good balance between the solvents and coatings businesses,the impact of raw material price volatilities is minimized
