Momentive Performance Materials (Momentive), a global leader in high-performance silicones and specialty solutions, today announced the production of NXT™ P97 Silane at its Chennai, India facility. The investment strengthens supply reliability while expanding access to advanced tire technology and technical expertise, supporting one of the world's fastest-growing tire manufacturing markets.

The expansion reinforces Momentive's commitment to investing in high-growth markets, enhancing responsiveness, accelerating innovation, and supporting customers across IMEA and Asia-Pacific. It also aligns with India's Make in India initiative by increasing domestic production of advanced materials and further strengthening the country's position as a global tire manufacturing hub.


As tire manufacturers seek solutions that deliver performance, processing efficiency, and sustainability, NXT™ P97 Silane offers a compelling option. Designed for silica-reinforced tread compounds, the bio-based silane contains 79% renewable carbon and helps optimize rolling resistance, wear performance, and mercaptosilane processing through enhanced filler dispersion and improved polymer-filler interaction.


By enabling longer-lasting tires and improved fuel efficiency, NXT™ P97 silane may also contribute to lower CO₂ and particulate emissions during the tire use phase, supporting more sustainable mobility.


"India is one of the world's most dynamic tire manufacturing markets, and the production of NXT™ P97 Silane in Chennai reflects our commitment to supporting its continued growth," said Chris Pappas, Global Marketing Leader for Tire Silanes at Momentive. "This investment strengthens our ability to deliver advanced tire technologies that enhance performance, improve processing efficiency, and support sustainability goals."


The Chennai facility is complemented by Momentive's Corporate R&D center in Bangalore, which provides expertise in silane chemistry, formulation development, product optimization, regulatory compliance, and application support. Together, these capabilities combine manufacturing, technical collaboration, and innovation resources to help customers accelerate development and commercialization of next-generation tire solutions.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...

Anti-Oxidant masterbatches protect the polymer chain, stabilizing it against thermal and oxidative stress. They are essential in polyolefins, engineering plastics, and films that undergo long processing cycles, ensuring durability, color stability, and consistent performance. source : Polimerizze Technology
