Compass Minerals International Inc. said Monday it will raise prices of liquid magnesium chloride-based roadway maintenance products by 15 to 30 percent to offset rising transportation costs.
The increase DustGard, a soil stabilization product, and FreezGard, a highway deicing product, and is effective starting Aug. 1 for shipments in the U.S. and Canada.
Compass Minerals said the price boost also supports its previously announced investment plan to add production capacity.
