Grace Construction Products, an operating segment of W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE: GRA), has announced that effective January 1, 2012, it is implementing price increases averaging 5% across North American concrete and masonry product lines. The pricing for certain products may increase by more than 10%.

The price increases are required due to continued demand for chemical streams globally, which has put pressure on the cost and availability of raw materials used in these product lines.
