1.Former polymer additives business of Chemtura prepares for growth under new owner.
Demands on polymers are higher than ever before ,but the additives used in them are 35-40 years old.
Additives is using its expertise to develop additives that help polymers work better on modern film
packaging lines, which can run at up to 1,000 meters per minute. Another effort is to provide
additives that protect the integrity of polymers over decades of use, particularly in applications
such as underground electrical cables. From : CEN JULY 15,2013
2. Our strengths : Technical expertise that adds value .
Customized, cost-effective dust-free solutions.

The heat is on isocyanates in paint. 150112
1. polyurethanes make up half of the $19.6 billion global high-performance coating business.
Demand for high-performance coating grows by 5%per year. The $115 billion coating market grows
at less than half that rate.
2.PPG has developed a paint system that eliminate the need to put a new car body through a primer-
curing oven. Thanks to resins that can be applied wet-on-wet, a car's three top paint layers-primer,
color coat, and clear topcoat-can be applied in succession and oven-cured.
3. Paint maker Axalta (DuPont) like PPG ,it has designed paint package, call a " three-wet System."
4. Oven cure temperatures will have to come down from about 140 C to about 80 C.
5.Bayer, they use what calls Blulogiq technology. It hardeners remain inactive until they are exposed
to temperatures about 75C .

The shrinking case for fluorochemicals . 150111
1. Long-chain alkyl compounds are out and short-chain replacements are in, even as their safety
remains in question. 2. ELECTRONICS. Loss of fluorinated compounds narrow option for
chipmakers. From : CEN JULY 13 ,2015 . P.27-29.
3. New ways to be repellent . Regulators and environmentalists are forcing changes in water-

Taking chips to the next level. 150110
New materials keep semiconductor industry on path predicted by Moore's law.
1. Lithography at the EDGE of light. Uncertainty around new exposure tools based on
EXTREME ULYRAVIOLET technology forces suppliers to pursue multiple research themes.
2. Chip polishing shines bright. Suppliers of CHEMICAL MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION
materials say they are still playing a role in the evolution of chip making.
3.Fat opportunity in thin films. Semiconductor industry seeks NEW PRECURSORS to deposit
atom-thick critical materials. Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor are getting ready to commercialize
chips with 10-nm features.

A reckoning for phthalates. 150109
As the plastics additives attract RENEWED SCRUTINY, industry looks for replacements.
The global plasticizer market was about 8 million metric tons last year, according to IHS chemical,
a market research firm. Phthalates make up about 70% of that volume, IHS says.
Phthalates are also controversial. Concerns -justified or not -have been bubbling up for more than
a decade over their potential to disrupt hormones and cause reproductive and developmental effects.
As a result, the plasticizer industry is in a state of flux, scrambling to adapt to ever-changing demand
from regulators and the marketplace.
Eastman 168 enjoyed 25% growth in 2013 and 16% growth last year, Cullen says ,DEHT makes up
some 12 % of the global market, says IHS chemical's Malveda.

Packing innovation . 150108
Dow chemical spends heavily to become the go-to POLYETHYLENE PACKAGING partner.
Novel package DOW's application lab in Horgen is full of packaging machines , including one
that can create a film with up to seven layers.
ADDING TO IP Dow has an exclusive license for PacXpert soft-bottle systems.

Plastics' big show. 150107
The enormous NPE 2015 plastics show broke records and ground.
" For food manufacturers , I think it is going to be a way for them to differentiate."
Milacron's booth was one of the stars. Milacron was showing off its product,the Klear Can,
injection-molding four of them every eight seconds.
The can is made out of polypropylene that is the packaging resin that can withstand the 120 C
needed to sterilize food. Thus far ,LyondellBasell industries is Milacron's chosen resin supplier.
