Bayer MaterialScience expands Shanghai Polymer R&D Center.Bayer MaterialScience Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) is an independent subgroup within Bayer AG. It was created as part of the restructuring of Bayer AG from the former business group Bayer Polymers, with certain of its activities being spun off to Lanxess AG. has commenced construction to expand its Polymer Research and Development Center (PRDC PRDC Pacific Rim (International Symposium On) Dependable Computing PRDC Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex PRDC Pig Research and Development Corporation PRDC Provincial Reconstruction Development Committee ) in Pudong, Shanghai. When complete, the PRDC will be Bayer MaterialScience's first facility in Asia-Pacific to host technical development and research facilities for its four business units operating in the region: polyurethane; polycarbonates polycarbonates, group of clear, thermoplastic polymers used mainly as molding compounds (see plastic). Polycarbonates are prepared by the reaction of an aromatic difunctional phenol with either phosgene or an aromatic or aliphatic carbonate. ; coatings, adhesives, sealants; and thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. polyurethanes. Each of these business units will have the full capacity to provide technical service, new application development, as well as training for staff and customers. As part of the expansion project, two new buildings to house technical facilities for the polyurethanes and coatings business units will be constructed adjacent to the PRDC's existing facilities in Jinqiao, while an existing warehouse will be extended. With the expansion, Bayer MaterialScience will more than double the area of the PRDC. |
