About GW United Chemicals
GW United Chemicals is a manufacturer of silicone materials based in Frankfurt am Main, established in 1995. The company produces PDMS silicone oils in viscosities from 0.65 to 1,000,000 cs, methyl-phenyl silicone oils, OH polymers, silicone-functionalized specialty oils, silicone resins, and siloxane and silazane intermediates such as hexamethyldisiloxane and hexamethyldisilazane. For cosmetics and hair care, raw materials such as cyclopentasiloxane (D5), dimethicones, dimethiconols and emulsions are offered. Another focus is the recycling of used silicone rubber into siloxane ring compounds with a capacity of 6,000 tonnes per year. The products serve application fields such as construction, cosmetics, personal care, semiconductors, automotive, renewable energies, engineering and life science. GW United Chemicals cooperates with universities and research institutes and, according to its own statements, sells in Southeast Asia, South America, Europe, the USA, the Middle East and China.
