Working together, the longtime global partners will work to meet the rising demand for silicone additives and resins that enhance safety, durability, and weatherability in construction projects.
Elkem is re-starting one out of three furnaces at its silicon plant in Salten, Norway. Production will remain halted at the two other furnaces until further notice.
Elkem celebrates this milestone, having grown from an industrial start-up in 1904 into a position in 2024 as one of the world's leading providers of advanced silicon-based materials.
A kick-off event marks the start of construction of several new production lines manufacturing functional silicone fluids, silicone emulsions, and silicone elastomer gels.
Among the methods for curing silicone release liners in label making, UV and nitrogen in the process produce a better cure for pressure sensitive labels.
