NEWS:

Additional production line at Osnabrück, Germany

The Woodlands, TX, November 22, 2007 - Huntsman Corporation today announced it will expand capacity at its Osnabrück, Germany TPU facility by investing in a new line to produce specialist high performance TPU grades. The new line is expected to come on stream during the second half of 2008. Capacities and financial details were not disclosed.


They are expanding capacity due to increasing customer demand especially in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East and this investment fits neatly into our global growth strategy said Ron Gerrard, Vice President of Global Operations for Huntsman's polyurethanes business. TPUs, which combine the advantages of rubber polymers with those of thermoplastics, are increasingly displacing more traditional materials in a variety of end-use markets and this new line strengthens our ability to meet this opportunity he added.


Huntsman TPUs, made at Osnabrück and at Ringwood, Illinois (USA) and sold under the IROGRAN®, IRODUR®, IROSTIC®, IROCOAT®, KRYSTALFLEX® and KRYSTALGUARD® TPU trade names, are injected or extruded to produce a wide range of products such as footwear, wire and cable encapsulations, hose, tubing, films and sheet. They are also used to produce coated and laminated textiles, protective/functional coatings and adhesives.

 

Huntsman is a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals. Its operating companies manufacture products for a variety of global industries, including chemicals, plastics, automotive, aviation, textiles, footwear, paints and coatings, construction, technology, agriculture, health care, detergent, personal care, furniture, appliances and packaging. Originally known for pioneering innovations in packaging and, later, for rapid and integrated growth in petrochemicals, Huntsman today has 13,000 employees and operates from multiple locations worldwide.

 

Note to editors: IROGRAN®, IRODUR®, IROSTIC®, IROCOAT®, KRYSTALFLEX® and KRYSTALGUARD® TPU are registered trademarks of Huntsman Corporation or an affiliate thereof in one or more, but not all, countries.

 

Glass laminators across Europe are set to benefit from improved quality of service and product development thanks to Huntsman Polyurethanes.

 

Huntsman Polyurethanes has brought the commercial sales process and technical support for its high performance range of KRYSTALFLEX® optical aliphatic films in-house, significantly improving service and support it can provide to glass laminators across Europe.

 

The market for hybrid glass / polycarbonate lamination is growing rapidly as it is increasingly used in a diverse number of applications where intrinsic strength combined with transparency is critical; including glazing for security vehicles, prisons, hospitals, embassies, computer centres and sensitive research centres.

 

Bonding together different materials such as glass, polycarbonate and other plastics, can prove a significant design challenge for manufacturers of glass laminates. However, the excellent adhesive properties provided by the KRYSTALFLEX® range of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films overcome this issue and also provide highly effective load transfer between the different sheets.

 

Johan Van Tongelen, commercial director Europe, Africa, Middle East & Indian Sub-continent, said: “Huntsman has focused on the needs of glass laminators for more than 20 years and it is through using this knowledge and understanding of applications and processes that they are able to engineer tangible performance benefits into aliphatic TPU film interlayer. By bringing the sales and technical support in-house, we hope to be able to steer new initiatives, be more responsive to our customer’s needs and further enhance the performance capabilities of Huntsman’s KRYSTALFLEX® film range.”
