Reportedly, from February 15, ChemPoint is expected to be the national distributor within the US for industrial applications of Momentive’s Tospearl Micro-Fine silicone resins. ChemPoint will provide marketing, sales and order fulfillment to target customers in plastic film and other industrial applications.
Momentive claimed that Tospearl Micro-Fine silicone resins act as a slip-additive or anti-blocking agent in film applications. The product can help provide high-heat stability and superb lubricity, which prevents agglomeration and may allow the customer greater production flexibility. Customers may be able to run higher processing speeds to increase efficiency and throughput, while minimising downtime.
Jeff Trimble, director of polymer business at ChemPoint, said: “ChemPoint has elevated its focus on the plastic film market for product offerings and we appreciate that Momentive recognises and has confidence in our business model. This extension is proof of our distinctive developmental and technical sales and provides greater opportunities for our customers in this segment.”
