Clariant launches Web presence for recently acquired Defoamers business
August 5, 2009 - Clariant has launched a comprehensive web presence for its newly acquired defoamers business. The webpages are found at www.defoamers.us.
Through the new webpages, customers and prospects can become better acquainted with the company’s proven know-how and family of technologies for more than 100 different foam-control products, silicone fluids and emulsions in end-use markets ranging from Adhesives to Building Materials, Food & Fermentation, Mining & Oil Services, Pulp and Paper, and Water & Waste Treatment.
Visitors to the Defoamers webpages can also:
• download product bulletins
• request product samples
• ask a question or make a general inquiry
• send email directly to technical, sales and Customer Service contacts for the business
In May Clariant acquired the XL Performance Chemicals from FibroChem LLC and its affiliates, citing the excellent business opportunity offered in a more than $2 billion global market that is growing annually at a rate of 4-to-5 percent. Manufacturing will continue to be centered in the U.S. at a facility in Greenville, S.C. operated under a toll agreement, with the potential for Clariant to transfer manufacturing to its own strategically located plants elsewhere in the world as market penetration and growth increases.
