U.S. Rohm and Haas Co. plans to apply an indexed energy and raw materials surcharge to products made by its specialty materials divisions of $4.9 billion. The index will be adjusted downwards or upwards each month, depending on collective changes in key costs of raw materials, crude oil and natural gas. These divisions—paints and coatings, coating materials, and building and packaging materials, plus primary materials—manufacture performance products used in paints and coatings, adhesives, lime, dispersants, plastics, additives, and more.
