MIDDLEBURY, Conn. (Sept. 5) — Chemtura Corp. and Hakuto Co. Ltd. Have signed an agreement to work jointly in the area of polymerization inhibitors for styrene monomer refining processes. These inhibitors — Hakutol PC Series developed by Hakuto — have superior performance with dinitro-type polymerization inhibitors such as DNBP.
Under the agreement, Hakuto will license the patented technologies to Chemtura on a global basis, except in Japan, where both companies will work together to provide advanced inhibitor technologies.
