UNBEATABLE RANGE, MOMENTIVE CLAIMS

摘要

For PU additives supplier Momentive, its October 2010 merger with sister resins company Hexion is a major development (see box right). The company is also, "celebrating 70 years in silicones," said Tony Lanchak, global business director for urethanes additives. In PU additives, Lanchak believes the group will now be "much more externally focussed [in the merged unit] than with the GE heritage." Momentive developed the first Niax-brand hydrolysable silicone surfactant for PU in 1962 and now in urethane additives, it claims a "leading position," across many segments, along with "excellent global infrastructure."
