MODIFIERS AND PROCESSING AIDS
Rohm & Haas Co. is expanding its capacity f‘ormodifiers and processing aids by some 50% at Grangemouth (U.K.). The new f'acility will be on stream in 1990, and will produce acrylic impact modifiers as well as methyl methacrylate butadiene styrene modifiers. These modifiers are sold under the name Paraloid.
QUINACRIDONE PIGNRNT CAPACITY
Ciba-Geigy's Pigments Div. is expanding quinacridone pigment capacity at its Newport, Del., facility. Scheduled f'or completion in late 1989 and operation by early 1990, the expansion will increase the company's crude quinacridone capacity by approximately 20%. This follows a major investment in quinacridone pigment finishing completed in 1987.
PTFE MICROPOWDER IN THE U.K.
Du Pont(U.K.1 has appointed K. & K. Greeff' as distributor in the U.K. for the company's PTFE micropowders. PTFE micropowder is used as an additive for plastics, elastomers, lubricants, paints and printing inks. In plastics and elastomers It is an excellent it improves mould release and aids extrusion. dry lubricant and can be used in powder form or in spray cans.
ZINC BORATE USED AS FLAMRRETARDANT IN WIRE AND CABLE
The U.S. Borax Research Corp. has recently carried out tests that show that zinc borate can be used in combination with ATH as an effective fire retardant and smoke suppressant in EVA, It is also very polyethylene, EPDM, EEA, epoxies and acrylics. effective when used alone in silicone rubbers. These tests were specifically directed towards wire and cable applications. For further information contact: Cont./......
