Dow Polyurethanes, a business of The Dow Chemical Co. (Dow), will increase its polyol and copolymer capacity at its Freeport, TX, facilities as a result of debottlenecking.
Huntsman Corp., The Woodlands, TX, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the business of Oxid L.P., a privately held manufacturer and marketer of specialty urethane polyols based in Houston.
A newly developed polyether polyol delivers liquid processing at room temperature, low unsaturation and optimized extent of microphase separation from conventional urethane hard segment chemistries.
