(Dow) -- Dow Brazil, global giant in the chemical and plastics
sectors with operations in Brazil since 1956, announced the Technology and
Market Development Center for Polyurethanes and Formulated Systems in the city
of Jundiai, countryside of Sao Paulo.
With investments of US$ 2 million and official opening scheduled for
January 2011, the lab extends over a 1,200 square meter area and will provide a
number of services, including chemical and physical chemical analyses; equipment
to simulate production of a wide range of PU applications; characterization of
physical properties and preparation of samples to customers.
Dow has Technology Centers for Polyurethanes and Formulated Systems in
other geographies, such as the United States, Europe and Asia. The integration
of these centers will be a major distinguishing feature since it allows Dow to
promptly access new technologies and trends and make them available in the
market.
Dow is the largest global producer of propylene oxide (PO), propylene
glycol (PG) and polyester polyols, and a major producer of quality aromatic
isocyanates, which are essential components of the polyester polyols.
