As planned, Momentive Performance Materials (MPM, Waterford, New York; www.momentive.com) has completed the expansion of its Italian plant in Termoli, and put it into operation (see Plasteurope.com of 25.11.2020). In the future, besides polyurethane additives for solid foams and silicones, flexible foam additives of the Niax series will also be produced there.
The additional capacity, the exact scope of which was not disclosed, is aimed at the comfort and furniture, insulation, and automotive sectors – as well as the ecologically less-questionable products.
