Antifreeze Shortage Triggers Higher Prices Across Market
Antifreeze costs leapt from 2 to 3 dollars per gallon last year to about 5 to 7 dollars this year with some merchants predicting further increases. Shortages of ethylene oxide and a shift by DuPont to polyester fiber production underpin the rise, while new childproof caps and year round glycol demand push prices higher. Local retailers report uneven supply with some dealers receiving only 56 percent of prior orders and others allocating 80 percent to existing customers, as opinions vary on winter price movements.
