June 2026
Dear Customer,
We continue to closely monitor the ongoing situation in the Middle East and its impact on global supply chains and raw material markets.
Whilst some material costs have remained relatively stable, we are continuing to experience significant volatility across several key raw materials. Unprecedented cost increases continue to affect our polymer-based products, including VAM and styrene polymers.
As a result, we have no alternative but to implement price increases on the following products:
- Quelfire Intufoam – 3.8%
- QuelStop Batt – 4.5%
- QuelStop Acrylic Sealant – 8.8%
- QuelStop Ablative Coating – 8.8%
- QuelStop HPE Sealant – 4.9%
These increases will apply to all orders despatched and invoiced on or after 24 August 2026.
We are of course hopeful that negotiations are underway in the Middle East and there might be some lasting stability and although we are providing this advance notice, it should be noted that we are already facing these substantial cost increases and will continue to absorb them until the effective date wherever possible.
Please be assured that this decision has not been taken lightly. We have worked hard to mitigate and absorb rising costs for as long as possible; however, the scale and pace of these increases mean that this is no longer sustainable.
We remain committed to supporting our customers through these challenging market conditions and to maintaining continuity of supply. We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding, support, and partnership.
As always, increases are never welcome, and hopefully we can revert them as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Darryl Wells | Commercial & Development Director
and Craig Wells | Sales Director
