 "Bayer MaterialScience plans thermoplastic polyurethane capacity expansion in India")
The German polymer company Bayer MaterialScience is planning to expand capacity and increase focus on Make in India to tap the growing domestic market. As a part of this strategy, Bayer MaterialScience will increase the production capacities for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu. With the addition of a second TPU production line, the annual capacity of Cuddalore site will increase to 6,000 metric tonnes from its current capacity of 2,500 metric tonnes. The installation is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2015.
"Bayer MaterialScience continues to see strong growth opportunities in India across all business units. To better support customers in gearing their production to current market demands, the company offers a local supply and enhanced technical support through its various state-of-the-art facilities including the Color Competence and Design Center (CCDC) at Greater Noida, the polyisocyanate production plant at Ankleshwar (Gujarat) and the polyurethane systems house at Greater Noida," said the company in a press release.
Bayer MaterialScience is one of the participants at the PlastIndia 2015 exhibition, held in Gandhinagar (Gujarat) from February 5-10, 2015, where it will showcase its innovative material solutions for key trends in the automotive, construction, electrical and electronic sectors.
“Our innovative materials and solutions improve people’s lives and create value. Whether it is the discovery of polyurethanes in 1937 or the birth of CDs made with Bayer’s Makrolon polycarbonate, Bayer MaterialScience has worked closely with customers to bring out the magic of materials,” explained Ajay Durrani, managing director, Bayer MaterialScience.
With a futuristic vision, Bayer works on joint developments with industry OEMs and customers to create sustainable product solutions that find a very good fit for a variety of applications today. “The company’s product technology, global experience and local expertise can bring many more innovative applications to the Indian industry that address the needs of the future,” added the release.
Cost effective charging stations made of Makrolon plastics for electric vehicles; Lumenova LEDs featuring Bayer MaterialScience polycarbonate; Flat LED lamp in CD format; and an integrated solution concept (known as Insqin) for textile coatings are some of the innovative technologies that will be on display at Plastindia 2015.
“Building energy efficiency can be increased significantly by using the right insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam has a higher insulating performance than all other common insulating materials on the market. It therefore is also ideally suited to reducing the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of buildings. Key products include universal insulation boards for buildings, and sandwich panels used primarily to insulate industrial and warehouse buildings,” said Bayer MaterialScience in the press release.
Bayer MaterialScience, which recorded sales of Euro 11.2 billion in 2013, is among the world’s largest polymer companies focusing on the manufacturing of high-tech polymer materials and the development of innovative solutions for products used in sectors such as automotive, electrical and electronics, construction and the sports and leisure industries.
