About L. Böwing
L. Böwing GmbH, based in Hochheim am Main, is a specialized family business in its second generation in the field of silicone chemistry and technical operating fluids. The company offers polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), thermal oils and other silicone oils as well as silicone oil emulsions, silicone defoamers and silicone encapsulation compounds. Silicone pastes, silicone greases, release agents and industrial cleaners are manufactured in its own production; mixing, kneading and emulsifying are possible from a batch size of 200 kg, so that even small production runs can be implemented. In its own laboratories, the company develops customer-specific formulations and chemical problem solvers, in particular where standard products fail, and personally accompanies trials through to series use. Its core industries are web offset and heatset printing, injection moulding and polyurethane processing, synthetic resin encapsulation, hose manufacturing as well as laboratories and electronics. In addition to its own manufacturing, the company supplies chemical raw materials, intermediates and technical sprays from an extensive warehouse range.
