AB SPECIALTY SILICONES adds a new reactor for high viscosity silicone raw material
manufacturing
Waukegan, Illinois, March 1, 2016
AB Specialty Silicones has a new reactor specifically for the manufacture of high viscosity reactive
and non-reactive silicone polymers. The new reactor has a specially designed, heavy duty anchor
style Lightnin® agitator to manage the high viscosity materials. This addition will double the current
capacity for high viscosity products and give AB Specialty Silicones the capability to produce
materials with viscosity up to ~500,000 centipoise. As a result, AB Specialty Silicones will now
offer its customers an expanded range of high viscosity products to complement an already diverse
line.
AB Specialty Silicones continues to invest in the Waukegan plant as well as its future in order
keep up with the company’s growth and meet the increasing demand of silicone raw materials
worldwide. Aside from production, the location also houses a research and development laboratory
specializing in custom silicone development and over 115,000 sq feet of warehouse space. AB
Specialty Silicones prides itself on customer service and custom solutions.
