BAYER POLYMERS APPOINTS AIR PRODUCTS AS GLOBAL DISTRIBUTOR FOR EXCESS TDI INTERMEDIATES
16 May 2003 - Bayer MaterialScience AG
| Bayer Polymers has appointed Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Allentown, Pa., as its global distributor for excess toluenediisocyanate (TDI) intermediates. |
With the 2003 start-up of its new dinitrotoluene (DNT) and toluenediamine (TDA) manufacturing facility in Dormagen, Germany, Bayer expects to have intermediate capacity in Europe and the U. S. in excess of what it currently requires to produce TDI. Bayer has decided to establish a formal relationship with Air Products to market and distribute the surplus products. 'Air Products is a leading supplier of DNT and TDA to the polyurethane industry,' said Guenther Weymans, Head of Global TDI Operations for BayerPolymers. 'Their market knowledge and global supply network were key in our decision to market our excess products through them,' Weymans continued. 'Bayer has had a long and positive business relationship with Air Products and we look forward to supplying their TDI intermediate needs.'
