Degussa buys PAEK resin from Ticona.Beefing up its expertise in high-temperature polymers, Degussa AG in Germany is acquiring the patents of Ticona GmbH of Germany related to polyaryl ether ether, in chemistry ether, any of a number of organic compounds whose molecules contain two hydrocarbon groups joined by single bonds to an oxygen atom. ketones Ketones Poisonous acidic chemicals produced by the body when fat instead of glucose is burned for energy. Breakdown of fat occurs when not enough insulin is present to channel glucose into body cells. Mentioned in: Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Urinalysis . Technology for these resins was developed by the former Technical Polymers Div. of Hoechst AG Hoechst AG was a German life-sciences company that became Aventis after its merger with Rhône-Poulenc S.A. in 1999. It has been called "The pharmacy of the world" due to its important role in the world's drug market. (now Ticona) in the 1990s. Ticona does not market these materials commercially. Degussa plans to use this technology to add products in the PEEK family to its High Performance Polymers unit, which makes nylon 12, PBT PBT Provider Backbone Transport (networking technology adding determinism to ethernet) PBT Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT Profit Before Tax PBT Paper Based Test (education) , copolyamides, and copolyesters. The U.S. office is in Parsippany, N.J. Tel: (800) 367-4857 * PTDirect 932ZM |
