lower inflation , primarily natural gas costs , and an insurance recovery of $ 10 million related to the 2005 hurricane losses also increased segment income in 2006 . our fourth-quarter chlor-alkali sales volumes and earnings were negatively impacted by production outages at several customers over the last two months of 2006 . it is uncertain when some of these customers will return to a normal level of production which may impact the sales and earnings of our chlor-alkali business in early 2007 . glass sales increased $ 15 million or 1% ( 1 % ) in 2006 . sales increased 1% ( 1 % ) due to improved volumes resulting from a combination of organic growth and an acquisition . a slight positive impact on sales due to foreign currency translation offset a slight decline in pricing . volumes increased in the performance glazings , automotive replacement glass and services and fiber glass businesses . automotive oem glass volume declined during 2006 . pricing was also up in performance glazings , but declined in the other glass businesses . segment income increased $ 25 million in 2006 . this increase in segment income was primarily the result of higher equity earnings from our asian fiber glass joint ventures , higher royalty income and lower manufacturing and natural gas costs , which more than offset the negative impacts of higher inflation , lower margin mix of sales and reduced selling prices . our fiber glass operating segment made progress during 2006 in achieving our multi-year plan to improve profitability and cash flow . a transformation of our supply chain , which includes production of a more focused product mix at each manufacturing plant , manufacturing cost reduction initiatives and improved equity earnings from our asian joint ventures are the primary focus and represent the critical success factors in this plan . during 2006 , our new joint venture in china started producing high labor content fiber glass reinforcement products , which will allow us to refocus our u.s . production capacity on higher margin , direct process products . the 2006 earnings improvement by our fiber glass operating segment accounted for the bulk of the 2006 improvement in the glass reportable business segment income . 20 2006 ppg annual report and form 10-k 4282_txt .
