Dow Biocides to increase Glutaraldehyde capacity by Januar 2009
"Glutaraldehyde is a widely-known, versatile and effective biocide used in formulations to protect against current or future microbial threats," said Mark Henning, general manager of Dow Biocides. "We anticipate growth in most geographies due to the multi-application use nature of glutaraldehyde. As the market leader for more than 50 years, we are now expanding our production capability to ensure we are well positioned to reliably meet our customers' growing supply requirements."
The increased capacity supports the future growth plans of Dow's Performance businesses, which includes Dow Biocides. Dow's glutaraldehyde capacity increase will also provide key enabling technology for several of Dow's market facing businesses.
