Editor, Coatings World
Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. recently announced plans to expand the production capacity of its Akron, Ohio plant, Shin-Etsu Silicones of America (SESA), which is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of silicones. The amount of this facility investment is ¥2.4 billion, and the expansion work is aimed for completion in the middle of 2019. SESA’s Akron Plant produced various silicone products that can be used in variety of applications such as high consistency silicone rubber, liquid silicone rubber for adhesives and sealing materials, silicones for cosmetics and heat-dissipating silicones for applications in automobiles and electronics parts. According to the firm, this new investment is for the purpose of expanding its production capacity for these silicone products and additionally to set up a new production facility for silicone emulsions. SESA is the North American base of Shin-Etsu Chemical’s silicones business. In addition to the silicone products being made at its Akron plant, SESA’s Freeport, Texas produced organo-functional silane. Furthermore, Shin-Etsu also opened a Technical Center in New Jersey in 2015, as the company is continuing to focus on the expansion of its silicones business.
