Manufacturing Germany

Styrene-butadiene rubber, or E-SBR as it is known in manufacturing circles, was first developed in the 1930s. Known as Buna S, the compound was prepared by I.G. Farbenindustrie in Germany. Manufacturing styrene-butadiene rubber was through an emulsion polymerization process which produced a material that had a low reaction viscosity, yet had all the attributes of natural rubber. 

In the mid 1930 s, the I.G. Farbenindustrie in Germany manufactured a compound with the trade name of Trilon... 

As in Germany, manufacturers or importers are not obliged to be part of a joint venture such as Stibat, for collection and processing however a joint approach has considerable advantages over stand-alone solutions. Today Stibat has over 450 members. 

The reaction of ethylene dichloride with sodium tetrasulfide to yield rubbery polymers was discovered independently by Patrick in the United States and Baer in Switzerland. This pol3uner was commercially introduced in this country in 1930 under the trade-mark of Thiokol. The I.G. Farbenindustrie in Germany manufactured the product as Perduren.

The company MDS-Prozesstechnik (Germany) manufactures plants with closed-loops of process water. It specialises in recycling units, with focus on membrane plants. MDS is aiming at the chemical industry, printed circuit-board industry, beverage industry, textile industry and laundries.(www.mds-pro.de)... 

Laboratory Chibret (France, West Germany) manufactures the hydrochloride of 3-acetoxy quinuclidine for the treatment of glaucoma under the trade name Glaucostat . 

Vitron SpezialwerkstofFe GmbH, Jena, Germany, manufactures a machinable glass-ceramic called Vitronit . It is used for technical applications. 

In 1906 Werner von Bolton at Siemens Halske in Germany manufactured niobium by the aluminothermic method and purified it by repeated re-melting in a vacuum furnace. 

Cyclonite or hexogen (RDX) was first prepared in 1899 and was initially recommended for medical use. Later applications (1916) included its use as a smokeless propellant. During World War II, Germany manufactured 7,0001 of RDX per month, whereas the US production was more than twice this rate. 

Laws on the subject are not internationally uniform. In Germany manufacturing deficiencies are not generally followed by the manufacturer s liability, if the manufacturing company, apart from the faulty product, turns out products that correspond with standards and directions and the company disposes of a quality... 

The chemical munitions cleanup problem is however complicated by the fact that, during World War II, Germany manufactured special preparations of mustard mixed with arsenic compounds of an exceedingly viscous and stable type, called "Zahlost". Both constituents had insidious properties including long-term carcinogenic effects. Moreover, they pose problems as to their disposal whether by wet chemical (hydrolysis) or thermal processes. 

Two other companies, Novamont (Italy), and Milleta (Biotech Division, Germany), manufacture and sell starch-PCL blends for film applications (e.g. compost bags, trash bags) (SINAS, undated).
