History

For years they represented many large multi-nationals for marketing various industrial raw-materials like Polysar SA, Switzerland for Butyl Rubbers; Cabot Corporation, USA for Carbon Black; Schill & Seilacher, Hamburg for Rubber Processing Additives; Societe Generale De Miniere SA & Germanium and Gecamines Commerciale, Republic of Congo, for their Cobalt metals.

In Process Technology Transfers they represented Haldor Topsoe S.A., Holland for technology transfer and setting up of ammonia based fertilizer plants; Oxy Vinyls Lisencing Divn.
           

(Erstwhile B.F. Goodrich and thereafter Geon Company, USA) for process technologies and gasification processes; Carpco (presently Outokumpu), USA for mineral separation and processing equipment. Some of our earlier overseas principals have undergone takeovers and some have decided to set up their own subsidiaries in India after subject had represented them for years and established a large market.

For Polysar SA, Switzerland they handled Butyl Rubber, Halobutyl Rubber, etc for 40 years out of the company’s existence of 45 years before it was taken over by Bayer AG worldwide and did annual sales in the region of US$ 18.9 million for Butyl Rubber, US$ 3 million for Nitrile Rubber and US$ 0.3 million for Halobutyl Rubber during our last few years of representation.

Applications

 

Automative


The hot and hostile operating environment of today's hotter running vehicles has created real performance challenges that Dyneon
Flouroelastomers are commonly used in fuel systems applications because of their excellent permeation resistance and chemical resistance to a broad variety of fuels and long-term durability. Processing additives from Performance Additives and MT Black from Cancarb are used in tyre and tube application.



Oil and Gas


Dyneon
offers a variety of sealing and containment solutions for aggressive environment in oil and gas down hole applications.



Aerospace

 

Over the year Dyneon Flouroelastomers have led the way in aerospace applications where reliability, maximum temperature stability and excellent chemical and compression set resistance are very important

.

Chemical Processing


Dyneon
Flouroelastomers and BREs are used in the chemical industry predominantly for sealing and packing providing long term protection against high temperature and corrosive chemicals.


Electrical and Electronic Engineering


Dyneon
PTFE and Fluorothermoplastics are having excellent electric constant, high thermal stability and flame resistance properties are used in the Electical and Electronic Engineering industry in a big way.

Semiconductor


Dyneon
TEM PTFE and PFA are well suited for use in manufacturing equipments for semiconductor industry due to its ultra smooth surfaces enabling reduced wash, rinse and dry cycles and exceptionally low ion extratables
