DOW CORNING ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN SILANES CAPACITY
19 April 2007 - Dow Corning - EEI

Dow Corning Corporation has announced it has increased production of its broad range of silane coupling agents by more than 40 percent to better satisfy customer demand.

The increased capacity is the result of more than $6 million in improvements to the company’s manufacturing processes in the past two years, according to Ken Kaufman, global product line manager, silanes and silica.

“The improvements will provide a reliable supply of high-quality silanes around the world,” Kaufman said. “Customers now have a reliable source whether they're looking for lower volatility silane solutions, higher purity, or improved consistency of their silanes”

As the pioneer of organosilane technology, Dow Corning has been improving customers' products and profitability for more than 60 years. The company provides product, formulation and application engineering in all families of chlorosilanes and alkoxysilanes, methylchloro, trichloro, alkyl, phenyl, fluoro, as well as functional organo silanes such as amines, styrlamine, expoxy, methacrylate, sulfido, and vinyl.

With a full range of silane product, formulation and application solutions, and rededicated global reach, reliable supply and world-class manufacturing operations, Dow Corning can meet virtually any company's silicone needs through its total solution offering and technology leadership.
