This company will unveil two new silane-terminated polymers at The European Coatings Show.

The company reportedly will be created on a 50/50 basis and will be led by Stephen Barton, owner and managing director of Alchemy Polymers.

Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) resins occupy a unique space within the landscape of commercially available polyols in the context of polyurethane elastomers. Characterized by low temperature flexibility, hydrophobicity and hydrolytic stability, polyurethane elastomers present solutions to strenuous applications in the adhesives and sealants market.

The award was presented for their platform technology to produce a bio-based monomer, furan dicarboxylic methyl ester (FDME).

Most-viewed new products items (posted and viewed from 1/1/16 to date) focused on finished adhesives.

The partnership represents a collaboration to adopt Biosuccinium in biobased polymers and co-polymers for the packaging industry.

The two partners plan to build a PLA polymerization plant with a capacity of 75,000 tons per year.

The new facility will allow Wacker to expand its local research and development activities.

U.S. demand for natural polymers is forecast to expand at a 4.3% annual pace to $5.1 billion in 2020, reaching 1.9 billion lbs. Growth is expected to be driven by demand for natural ingredients in the large food and beverage industry, which will bolster the use of cellulose ethers and starch and fermentation polymers.

Recycling of laminated packaging has been a long-standing challenge for the packaging industry.
