HOUSTON, Sept. 9 -- UOP LLC reported it will increase prices for all of its catalysts used in refining and petrochemical production.

Increases of as much as 15% affect its Platforming, Penex, Unicracking, and Merox refining catalysts as well as its Parex, Isomar, Tatoray, Pacol, Oleflex, Q-Max, and EBOne petrochemical catalysts.

UOP said it is raising prices due to "the continued high cost of energy, packaging, and rising raw material prices." Price increases vary by the type of product.
