MOSCOW (MRC) - PolyOne Corporation, a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, has announced it has signed an expanded supply agreement with Dow Corning Corporation enabling PolyOne Distribution to sell Dow Corning brand silicones to healthcare customers in China, according to Polyone's statement.
By increasing its breadth of solutions, PolyOne is providing growth opportunities for US-based companies that manufacture medical-grade silicone healthcare products in China.
