- Abstract:
Dow Chemical Co. will end production of epoxy and vinyl ester resins in Sarnia, Ontario, on August 1, 2004 and in a separate move, plans to form two joint ventures with a Kuwaiti firm. Dow spokesman Dan Taylor said it was undetermined how many of the 19 epoxy-related employees in Sarnia will be affected by the move. Some will be offered early retirement, while others may be transferred to other plants at the site, where Dow makes polystyrene, low density polyethylene and several chemicals. The epoxy plant produced 7.7 million pounds of solid epoxy resins and 4.4 million pounds of Derakane-brand epoxy vinyl ester resins each year.
