Momentive: New manufacturing capacity for polyamides and a full range of specialty amines

Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc., has opened new curing agent manufacturing capabilities at a facility in China. The new plant, located in Tianjin, China, expands MSC’s regional capacity to produce amine curing agents.

Using locally sourced raw materials, the facility can manufacture a full range of standard polyamides, as well as specialty amine curing agents that provide higher performance and market differentiation. These specialty amines are suitable for producing systems requiring lower temperature cure, higher solids, higher chemical resistance or lower yellowing.
