A specialty elastomer joint venture between Dow Chemical Co. and Siam Cement Group, will come on stream in 2011 as planned. The world-scale facility located in the Asia Industrial Estate in Rayong province is part of the company’s plans to bolster its Asian operations. The drop in global chemicals demand has not slowed the progress of the plant. Dow feels it needs an Asian elastomer plant to complement facilities in the United States and Europe as the company remains focused on its strategy to invest in its downstream performance businesses and to drive growth in Asia Pacific.
