Momentive Performance Materials was
created from the sale of GE Advanced Materials to
Apollo Management, L.P. in December 2006. We are the
world’s second-largest producer of silicones and silicone
derivatives and a global leader in the development
and manufacture of products derived from quartz and
specialty ceramics. Silicones are a multi-functional
family of materials used in thousands of products
and serve as a critical ingredient in many construction,
transportation, personal care, electronic, consumer
and agricultural uses. Silicones are generally used
as an additive to a wide variety of end-use products
in order to provide or enhance certain of their attributes,
such as resistance (heat, ultraviolet light and chemical),
lubrication, adhesion or viscosity. Some of the most
well-known end-use product applications include bath
and shower caulk, pressure sensitive adhesive labels,
foam products, cosmetics and tires. Our Quartz division
manufactures quartz, specialty ceramics and crystal
products for use in a number of high-technology industries,
which typically require products made to precise specifications.
These materials solutions are used as springboards
for innovation in hundreds of consumer and industrial
applications ranging from car engines to biomedical
devices to integrated circuits. Industries served
include aerospace, agriculture, appliances, automotive,
construction, electronics, furniture and furnishings,
healthcare, home care, industrial, lighting, packaging,
personal care, plastics, semiconductor, telecommunications,
tire, transportation, and water purification. |
