Air Products Says Increasing Prices for Certain Liquid Items

Effective, October 1, 2012, or as contracts permit, Air Products

will increase product pricing and monthly service charges for merchant customers in North America.  The pricing adjustments include increases of: o Up to 10% for liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, liquid and bulk hydrogen and liquid carbon dioxide o Up to 20% for liquid argon and bulk carbon monoxide Some price adjustments may be outside of these ranges based on other specific situations.  The global helium supply shortfall has caused us to address each customer price change on an individual basis.
