Praxair China Investment Company Limited, a subsidiary of Praxair Incorporated, has announced today that, effective April 26, 2005, it will increase prices across China.

Prices will be increased across North, East and South regions in China for liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide, by an average of 10%.

The action is reported as being required to offset the rapid increases in electric power, gasoline, diesel, oil, distribution and raw material costs associated with merchant oxygen, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide production and distribution.
