Solvay Advanced Polymers launches new Web site
ALPHARETTA, Georgia (August 21, 2002) – Solvay Advanced Polymers, has launched a new Web site designed to help manufacturers and their end users better understand the benefits of using polymers for membranes.
Manufacturers can access the site at (http://www.solvaymembranes.com) to learn about the company's portfolio of products, which includes its family of sulfone polymers (UDEL polysufone, RADEL A polyethersulfone and RADEL R polyphenylsulfone) as well its line of SOLEF fluoropolymers. According to Solvay Advanced Polymers, the new site is designed to educate visitors about polymeric membranes: what they are; the materials used to make them; and why they're important. "Manufacturers can access this new Web site to find out how our resins fit into their world -- how these materials can be used to make a polymeric membrane with the performance they need," said Judy Melville, Solvay Advanced Polymers' Global Industry Manager for Membranes. “They can order samples of our polymers to help them find the right material for their process, application and requirements.” In addition, if they have technical or business questions, manufacturers can locate members of the company's commercial and technical membrane team anywhere in the world, by clicking on the appropriate section of the world map. "The web site also allows us to more quickly disseminate information about new product developments," Melville said. "For example, you can get detailed product information and request a sample of the new UDEL P-3500 LCD grade that was just introduced at ICOM 2002 this past July in Toulouse, France."

Air Products: Tight deadlines, big requirementsPHILADELPHIA – When David Beltz, Manager of B2B integration services for Air Products and Chemicals, wants to determine which e-channels to use to connect with a customer, he uses a simple two-by-two grid that ranks a customer’s technical sophistication against its network potential. To the Editor,As you rightly point out in your Oct 25 editorial entitled "Win/Win, Lose/Lose," the marketing spin and posturing of public marketplaces and consortia in the chemical industry are being tested by end users that want to maintain their competitive edge and receive a fast ROI. To the Editor,My views might not be considered neutral, with OxyChem's equity participation in Envera, but "Hub-to-Hub" connectivity was always in Envera's plans. As a founding Envera member and as an early adopter of B2B connectivity utilizing XML (in production since November 1999) OxyChem strongly endorses the need for "Hub-to-Hub" connectivity, both inter- and intra-Industry. Consider the real flywheel effects of connecting two hubs within the Chemical sector.
