In order to provide support for the families, Balthasar was set up in September 1998 as Germany’s first children’s hospice. Since then, it has...

Hexion supplies epoxy resin system for NIO ES6 electrical car floor in China

The electrical vehicle market in China is developing quickly. In January 2018, electric and autonomous vehicle company NIO launched its first production car for the masses with the ES8 electric SUV. In June, NIO’s second SUV production model, the ES6, officially rolled off the production line. Hexion is proud to announce that our epoxy material is used for the floor in this innovative car. The floor is made of our resin system in combination with carbon fiber, which...

Hexion's New Family of Polyols Gaining Attention in Polyurethane Foams Market

Hexion's launch of a new family of polyols into the polyurethane foams market is gaining attention. The rigid polyurethane and spray foam industry is currently facing several challenges, including a need for better thermal insulation properties and improved reaction to fire, especially in construction. The move towards more environmentally friendly blowing agents necessitates changes in formulations and halogenated flame retardants are coming under...

American Chemistry Council Case Study Features Hexion EcoBind™ Resin Technology

Wood is the ideal renewable building material. But did you know that only 65 percent of a tree can be used for solid lumber? This new ACC case study illustrates how Hexion EcoBind™ resin technology enables manufacturers to use up to 95 percent of a tree to capture the full potential of our wood resources. <br /> <br /> Find out more about the benefits of engineered wood as featured in the case study here: <a target="_blank"...

French partnership proves mass production capabilities for composite parts

On the Fast Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) production platform in Porcelette France, we run trials generating net shape, glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) structural parts of 1m². “Net shape” refers to parts that are completely finished after the molding process with no need for further machining.

Hexion-Canadian partnership to make engineered wood even more sustainable

At our newly expanded technology center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada we have invested in a large project with Canadian government agency Alberta Innovates to accelerate the development of next-generation resin chemistries and engineered panel products—in which lignin and other bio-based raw materials replace phenol.

Making every well count in major basins across North America

Hexion’s resin-coated proppants—proven in all major basins across North America—optimize well productivity to make the most of every well.

NextGen Epoxy™ Waterborne System helps reduce solvent emissions

Increasingly stringent VOC regulations driven by air quality concerns demand creative measures. That’s why Hexion scientists developed the NextGen Epoxy™ Waterborne System – capable of less than 100 g/L VOC content in concrete and metal applications.

Innovative packaging reduces waste while maximizing efficiency

Thanks to a 900-1,000 liter capacity in a single Hexi-bag (that’s five times the volume of a standard barrel), Hexi-bag can result in residual resin of less than 1%, versus 5-10% in traditional packaging.
